Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of this high-quality Belkin

16- or 24-Port Network Switch. Backward-compatible with 10Mbps networks, the Switch easily migrates your network from conventional

Ethernet to a multiple-segment, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet connection.

It delivers dedicated 100Mbps links to each directly attached LAN segment or PC, enabling your servers and workstations to transfer large AV and graphic files efficiently throughout your network. This makes the Switch an excellent way to increase the throughput of interconnected Ethernet and Fast Ethernet hubs or server farms.

Engineered for convenient setup and operation, each Switch features a durable metal chassis that can be placed on the desktop or integrated into a 19-inch rack, using the included rack-mount kit.

All ports auto-negotiate between a 10- or 100Mbps network and adjust for straight-through or crossover cables, so you don’t have to worry about cable type.

Connecting your Switch to your Computers

1.

Power down all your equipment.

2.

Connect a Category 5e or 6 Ethernet cable between each computer’s network interface card (NIC) and one of the numbered ports on the front of the Switch.

3.

All switch ports can automatically negotiate speeds at full- and half-duplex modes to allow users to attach 10Base-T and 100Base-Tx network devices.

4.

Connect the power cord into the power socket in the rear of the

Switch; now plug the other end of the power cord into a power source (wall jack or power strip).

Connecting Networking Devices to your Switch

Connecting your Switch to another Switch

1.

Connect a Category 5e or 6 cable between one of the numbered ports on the front of the Switch and one of the numbered ports on the other Switch to which you are cascading or connecting.

2.

All switch ports can automatically negotiate speeds at full- and half-duplex modes to allow users to attach 10Base-T and 100Base-Tx network devices, network switches, or hubs.

3.

All ports support auto MDI and MDIX functionality. When cascading or connecting switches or hubs, the user can use a straight-through or crossover cable.

Important: When connecting two switches together, use a single cable. If multiple cables are used, loops may occur resulting in unwanted collisions. This will result in poor network performance.

Cabling Distances

• 328 ft. (100m)

Recommended Cabling Standard

• Category 5, 5e, or 6 for Ethernet (10Mbps) and Fast Ethernet

(100Mbps) connections

This Switch segments your network, significantly increasing both bandwidth and throughput. Each port on the Switch can be attached to any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet device, such as another switch, or a server’s network adapter. All ports operate at 10/100Mbps full and half duplex, providing up to 200Mbps of bandwidth to the attached device.

Bridging Functions

This Switch provides fully transparent bridging functions. It automatically learns node addresses that are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address. When traffic passes between devices attached to the same shared collision domain, those packets are filtered from the Switch. But when traffic must be passed between unique segments (i.e., different ports on the

Switch), the high-speed switching fabric forwards the packets at near-zero latency.

Switching Functions

Store-and-forward switching is used to forward traffic to other ports.

This scheme ensures data integrity and provides a clean data stream.

Sample Application

This Switch is designed to operate as a small workgroup switch. It can provide 10- or 100Mbps connections to workstations and to high-speed servers. It can also provide a 100Mbps uplink to the network backbone.

Placement of the Switch

The Switches can be placed on a flat surface or in a 19-inch rack.

Placement on a Flat Surface

1.

Affix the four included rubber feet on the bottom of the Switch in the area that is clearly marked on each of the four corners.

2.

Make sure the Switch is placed in an area that allows for proper ventilation.

3.

Place on a flat surface.

Placement in a 19-Inch Rack

1.

Do not affix the four rubber feet on the Switch when rack-mounting. If already affixed, remove.

2.

Attach the mounting bracket to each side of the Switch with the included screws.

3.

Place the Switch in the rack and align the holes of the mounting bracket with the correct hole in the rack.

4.

Place and tighten the screws of each mounting bracket into the rack.

Diagnosing Switch Indicators

Symptom

Power LED does not light after power on.

Probable Causes

DC power adapter may be defective.

Possible Solutions

• Check for loose connections.

• Check the power outlet by using it for another device.

• Replace the DC power adapter.

Symptom

Port (Link/Act) LED does not light after connection is made.

Probable Causes

Switch port, network card, or cable may be defective.

Possible Solutions

• Check that the Switch and attached device are both powered on.

• Be sure the network cable is connected to both devices.

• Verify that Category 5 or better cable is used for 10/100Mbps connections, and that the length of any cable does not exceed 328 feet (100m).

• Check the network card and cable connections for defects.

• Replace the defective card or cable if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Power and Cooling Problems

If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply as explained in the previous section. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fan on the right side of the unit (F5D5131-24) is unobstructed and running prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the internal power supply may be defective.

Installation

Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components (e.g., the power cord or network cabling) appear to be malfunctioning, test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly.

You can find additional support information at www.belkin.com/networking or www.belkin.com through the tech-support area.

If you want to contact technical support by phone, please call

877-736-5771. Technical support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Before you Call

If possible, turn on your system before you call Belkin for technical assistance and call from a telephone at or near the computer. You may be asked to describe detailed information during operation.
