Cabling
Step 1: First, ensure the power of the switch and end devices are turned off.
<Note>
Always ensure that the power is off before any installation.
Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use.
<Note>
To connect two regular RJ-45 ports between switches or hubs, you need a cross-over cable.
Step 3: Consult Cable Specifications Table on previous page for cabling requirements based on connectors and
speed.
Step 4: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a desired device.
Step 5: Once the connections between two end devices are made successfully, turn on the power and the switch is
operational.
For management configuration, please refer to user’s manual at page 14.
