5PORT/8PORT NWAY SWITCH
Chapter 3:
Hardware Installation
z
Place the Switch on a smooth surface
z
Connect the output of power cord to the DC-inlet
of the Switch.
z
Connect other IEEE802.3 compatible network
device (Hub, Switch, PC) to one port of the Switch
using Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP cabling.
z
Connect another IEEE802.3 compatible network
device (Hub, Switch, PC) to another port of the
Switch by following the same process as
described in Step3.
Notice:
The cable distance between the Switch and other
IEEE802.3 compatible network device should not
exceed 100 meter.
Make sure the wiring is correct
It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps
operation. To reliably operate your network at
100Mbps, you must use an Unshielded/shielded
Twisted-Pair (UTP/STP) Category 5 cable, or better
Data Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cable
may initially seem to work, it will soon cause data
loss.
All kinds of IEEE802.3 compatible network device
(Hub , Switch ,PC)can connect to the Switch by using
straight-through wires or crossover wires because of
Switch’s auto MDIX function.
