Network Technologies ETH-4X1 / 2X1 manual Materials, Preparation for Installation

Materials

Materials Supplied with this kit:

•NTI ETH-4X1 / ETH-2X1 Manual Ethernet Switch

•120VAC or 240VAC -12VDC/.5A AC Adapter

•This owner's manual

Materials Not Supplied, BUT REQUIRED:

•Ethernet Cables- Cat5(e)UTP straight-through with male-male connectors

Preparation for Installation

•A location should be chosen for the ETH-4X1 such that the ethernet cable from each supported device will reach it.

•The ethernet cables must be run to the locations where the ETH-4X1 switch, COMMON, and the SELECTABLE(s) will be mounted. Be careful to route the cables away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the signal (i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, etc.).

•A 120V or 240V electrical outlet (depending on the AC adapter being used) must be available close enough to the mounting location of the ETH-4X1 to plug the AC adapter into.

•All cables should be installed in such a way that they do not cause stress on their connections to the equipment. Extended lengths of cable hanging from a connection may interfere with the quality of that connection. Secure cables as needed to minimize this.

•Properly shut down and disconnect the power from the DEVICE(s) and/or NETWORK(s) to be connected. If other equipment is involved whose connections are being interrupted, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals for that equipment for proper disconnection and re-connection procedures before proceeding.
