2.1. Operating Environment
This switch must be installed and operated within the limits of specified
operating temperature and humidity (see previous section under Specifica-
tions).
• Do not place objects on top of the unit.
• Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the unit.
• Do not position the unit near any heating source such as heater, radiator,
or direct exposure to sun.
• Prevent entering of water and moisture into the unit.
• If necessary, use dehumidifier to reduce humidity.
• Always avoid dust and dirt.
• Allow some space between the product and the surroundings to facilitate
dissipation of heat generated inside the switch.
2.2. Connecting to network devices
The RJ-45 ports on the switch are designed as MDI/MDI-X auto crossover
ports which allow using straight-through cables to connect any port on this
switch to network device.
Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 port on the rear panel,
and then connect the other end of the network cable to the RJ-45 port on
the network device. Follow the same procedure to connect all the RJ-45
ports of the switch. The UTP network cables must comply with EIA/TIA 568
specifications and Category 5 standard for 100Mbps data transmission and
Category 3, 4, 5 for 10Mbps connection. Maximum length, using UTP cable,
between the switch and connected device is 100 meters (328ft). Once the
network cable is connected to both ends and the attached network device is
powered on, the green LINK/ACT 10/100 LED should be lit (for 100-Base
data linked by auto-negotiation).
2.3. Connecting the power
Connect the output end of the power adapter to the power connector on
the rear panel of the unit. Connect the power adapter to the power outlet.
The green Power LED on the front panel should be lit.
