•
There should be adequate space (approximately two inches) on all
sides for proper air flow.
•
Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines,
fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference
such as radios, transmitters, etc.
•
Make sure that a properly grounded power outlet is within 2.44 meters
(8 feet) of the switch and is powered from an independent circuit
breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is
recommended.
Instructions
1. Positioning the Switch: For desktop or shelf mounting, attach the four
adhesive foot pads to the bottom of the switch. For rack mounting,
install into a standard EIA 19-inch rack using the included brackets.
2. Applying Power: Plug one end of the power adapter into the socket on
the switch’s rear panel, and the other end into an appropriate electrical
outlet. Check the Power LED to be sure power is on.
Note:
It is not necessary to power off the switch before connecting or
disconnecting any UTP cables, as these actions will not disrupt
the operation of other devices attached to the switch.
3. Connecting PCs: Connect each PC to an RJ-45 port on the switch
using Category 5 or 5e shielded or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP or
STP) cable, maximum length 100 meters (328 ft). The EZ Switch 10/
100/1000 will support up to 16 PCs. All ports on the switch support
automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through
cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other
switches or hubs.
Note:
If an attached device does not support auto-negotiation, the data
rate will be sensed automatically and the communication mode
will default to half duplex.
