Installing the Switch

The site where you place the switch may greatly affect its

6

performance. When installing, take the following into your consideration.

2.1 Installation

Follow the guidelines below to install the Switch:

Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See the

Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges. Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight. Connect the power cord to the Switch and the power outlet. The distance is no more than 182cm.

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 on the bottom of the

Switch (one at each corner).

2.3 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 adjacent to and the system fan. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local

7

power source automatically.

Connecting the Switch

This section describes how to connect the Switch to your

10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet network.

3.1 Connection

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

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