devices you want to link, and near a power outlet.
Place the hub on any convenient flat surface, such
as a desktop or nearby shelf. For more stability, you
may put 4 rubber foot stands on the bottom side of
EF800-SI, if necessary.
Attach Computers to the Switch Ports
1.Install a 10/100Mabps (10/100Base-TX) network
adapter card and driver in every computer you
want to network.
2. Prepare twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 plugs.
Use Category 5/5e cable for all connections.
Make sure that the cable length is less than or
equal to 100 meters (328 feet).
3. Attach one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of
the computer ’s network adapter card and the
other end to any available port of the switch
EF800-SI. Be sure not using port 1 and the
Uplink port simultaneously.
Cascading to a Switch or another Hub
W hen attaching the switch EF800-SI to a router
or other devices, be sure to verify the port type
implemented before connecting any cable.
For straight-through Category 5/5e twisted –pair
cable with RJ-45 plugs:
1. Connect one end of the cable to the switch
EF-800SI’s uplink port, while keeping port 1
unplugged. Be sure follow the length limit
of 100 meter.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to any
available port, except the uplink one, of the
other devices.
For crossover cabling:
1. Connect, respectively, any two available non-
uplink pork of these 2 devices.
2. Or, connect both uplink ports of these 2
devices together.
