The Switch has a smart function that you can use to manage your local area network (LAN )
more effectively. You also can use the default setting to make the Switch operate as a dumb
switch.
If you want to use smart function, install the Switch as below:
．
Use the “RS-232” connector to connect the Switch to a computer. Connect one (1) cable end
to the Switch, and connect the other end to the computer’s “COM1” or “COM2” port.

If your Windows program doesn’t have a hyper terminal, you have to install it first.
