Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the 24-Port 10/100Mbps

Green Switch! It is an easy-to-install network switch which helps you to extend your network structure quickly and reliably. The 24-Port 10/100Mbps Green Switch is designed for energy saving, easy installation and high performance in an environment where network traffic and the number of users increase continuously. You can add other Ethernet devices like computers, IP cameras, and Network Attached

Storage (NAS) onto your network quickly and easily. The

Green EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) technology of

ASW324v2 automatically reduces the power consumption when any connected port is detected inactive (idle or cable-unplugged) and it intelligently allocates less power to any port that connects with an Ethernet cable shorter than

20m (66 ft)*.

Installing the Switch

The site where you place the Switch may greatly affect its performance.

2.1 Installation

Please follow the guidelines below to install the Switch:

• Please install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place.

Please refer to the Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.

• Please install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight.

• When connecting the power cord to the Switch and the power outlet, the distance should be no more than

182cm.

• Please leave at least 10cm (about 4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation.

2.2 Desktop or Shelf Installation

When installing the Switch on the desktop or shelf, please attach the rubber feet to the Switch. Peel off the protective paper on the pads and attach them to the bottom of the

Switch (one at each corner).

2.3 Rack Installation

The Switch is rack-mountable and can be installed on an EIA

11-inch equipment rack. To do this, first install the mounting brackets on the Switch’s side panels (one on each side), secure them with the included screws, and then use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the

Switch.

2.4 Power on the Switch

The Switch has a universal power supply ranging from 100V to 240V AC, 50 ~ 60Hz power source. The AC power connector is located at the rear of the unit. The Switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically.

Section 3

Connecting the Switch

This section describes how to connect the Switch to your

10/100Mbps Ethernet network.

Your network device (i.e. computer, switch, IP Camera, VoIP) can be connected to any port of the Switch via a two-pair

UTP Category 5 Cable. If the LED indicators do not light up after making a proper connection, check your network device, the cable, the Switch conditions and connections.
