Locating the ML600
The MultiLink ML600 Ethernet Switch operates in transparent half and full-duplex mode.
The store and forward switch takes care of network traffic and can be used as a useful,
economical tool to expand an existing network.
The compact and lightweight design of the ML600 allows it to be easily installed in almost
any location. A velcro strip may be used for mounting the unit on a vertical surface such as
a wall or cabinet, or for securing the unit on a table-top or shelf. Alternatively, metal
mounting clips and screws are included for a rugged and secure mounting in any
orientation.
Installation of the ML600 is a simple procedure. The installation location is dependent upon
the physical layout of the Ethernet network and associated cabling. Ensure the unit is
installed in a location that is easily accessible to an AC power outlet or the appropriate DC
source and where cooling is not inhibited. The green Power (PWR) LED must turn ON when
power is applied.
