piece of equipment that has 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/
1000BASE-T connectivity.

Each port is capable of autosensing for 10 Mbps, 
100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps operation.

All ports have an automatic MDI/MDIX feature, which
means either straight-through or crossover cable can be
used to connect to any port.

WARNING: RJ-45 ports.

These are shielded RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot be
used as standard traditional telephone sockets, or to
connect the unit to a traditional PBX or public telephone
network. Only connect RJ-45 data connectors, network
telephony systems, or network telephones to these
sockets.

Either shielded or unshielded data cables with shielded or
unshielded jacks can be connected to these data sockets.

VORSICHT: RJ-45-Portes.

Diese Portes sind geschützte Datensteckdosen. Sie dürfen
weder wie normale traditionelle Telefonsteckdosen noch

für die Verbindung der Einheit mit einem traditionellenm
privatenm oder öffentlichenm Telefonnetzwerk gebraucht
werden. Nur RJ-45- Datenansclußhlüsse,
Telefonnetzsysteme oder Netztelefone an diese
Steckdosen anschließen.

Entweder geschützte oder ungeschützte Buchsen dürfen
an diese Datensteckdosen angeschlossen werden. 

AVERTISSEMENT : Prises RJ-45 blindées.

Ces prises ne peuvent servir comme prises téléphone
standard et ne permettent pas la connexion de l'appareil
à un système PBX ni à un réseau téléphonique public. N'y
branchez que des prises RJ-45 mâles adaptées, ou des
systèmes de réseaux téléphoniques. Il est possible d'y
brancher des câbles blindés ou non comportant des prises
de type Jack (blindées ou non).

1 Alert LED

Orange

If the LED is off, the unit is operating normally. After
power on, the Alert LED lights for a short period while
performing a self-test. If the LED remains on, either the
self test has failed or there is an excessive amount of
broadcast traffic. Refer to Problem Solving. 

2 Power LED

Green

Indicates that the Switch is powered on. If the LED is
off, but the Power Adapter OK LED is lit, there may be
a problem with the Switch’s internal power supply.
Refer to Problem Solving.

3 Five Port Status LEDs

Green (1000 Mbps link, 100 Mbps link)/ Yellow 
(10 Mbps link)

If the LED is on, the link between the port and the next
piece of equipment is OK. If the LED is flashing, the
link is OK and data is being transmitted or received. If
the LED is off, nothing is connected or the connected

device is turned off, or there is a problem with the
connection (refer to the Problem Solving section).

4 Duplex LEDs

Yellow

If the LED is lit, the port is in full duplex mode. If the
LED is off, the port is in half duplex mode.

5 Power Adapter Socket

Only use the power adapter that is supplied with the
Switch

6 Power Adapter OK LED

Green

Indicates that the power adapter is supplying power to
the Switch. If the LED is off, there may be a problem
with the power adapter or adapter cable (refer to
Problem Solving).
