16 Port Ethernet Switch With Optional Fiber Port

Installation

Copper and Fiber Cabling Guidelines

1.The RJ-45 ports can be connected to unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling systems compliant with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base TX standard for Category 5. The cable between the switch and the link partner device (router, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 metres long.

2.The fiber link on the optional multi-mode module must use either 50 or 62.5/125 micron multi-mode fiber cable. You can link two devices over a distance of up to 2 kilometres.

3.The fiber link on the optional single-mode module must use 8/125 or 9/125 micron single-mode fiber cable. You can link two devices over a distance of up to 15 kilometres in full duplex mode or 412 metres (1,352 ft.) in half-duplex.

4.The console port is an RS232 port and should not be used for cable distances greater than 20 metres.

Desktop Installation

1.Locate the switch in a clean, flat and safe position that has easy access to AC power. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance around the switch to enable air circulation.

2.Fit the self-adhesive rubber feet to the underside of the switch.

Installing The Switch Into A 19” Rack

1.Identify the required locations and ensure that there is at least 10cm clearance at the front and rear of the switch to allow cables to be accommodated.

2.Fit the supplied rackmount bracket on both side plates of the switch using a screwdriver.

3.Locate the switch into the rack and align the holes in the brackets with holes in the rack vertical strips. Secure the switch using the supplied bolts.

Installing The Optional Fiber Uplink Module

See instructions on web site and module manual for further details.

1.Remove the two screws securing the front panel blanking plate located in the right hand side of the panel.

2.Ensure that there is no power on the switch and then carefully fit the plug-in module and secure it using the thumbscrews.
