Figure 3.6 Combo ports, RJ45 and 

fiber internal jumper settings. 

Note: 

Be certain that the main power is 

disconnected before opening the unit or 
changing any internal jumper settings

 

 

The factory (default) setting is Auto-

negotiation on all RJ45 ports and full duplex on 
fiber 100Mbps ports, which is generally 
popular. Auto-negotiation on RJ45 and FDX on 
fiber port works well under most 
circumstances, but cannot always be 
depended upon to work as expected. If full-
duplex will not function properly in your setup, 
internal jumpers allow the speed and mode of 
the Q-Series Combo- quad ports to be fixed, 
even if the attached device may or may not 
support full-duplex.  This is desirable when 
there are unknown devices presently or 
potentially connected, which will not operate 
correctly with full duplex or half-duplex. 
Examples include hubs that support only half-
duplex by default.

  

 

If auto-negotiation will not function 

properly in your setup, internal jumpers allow the speed and mode of the Q-Series RJ45 (copper) quad-
ports to be fixed, even if the attached device may or may not support auto-negotiation.  This is desirable 
when there are unknown devices presently or potentially connected, which will not operate correctly with 
auto-negotiation. Examples include some NICs and most Media Converters. 

3.7   Fiber 10Mb ports, internal jumper settings for 10Mb fixed Half- or Full Duplex at all ports 

 

The factory (default) setting is 

for half-duplex on all fiber 10Mbps 
ports, which is generally popular. HDX 
works well under most circumstances. 
If half-duplex on 10Mbps will not 
function properly in your setup, internal 
jumpers allow the duplex mode of the 
Q-Series fiber quad- ports to be 
changed, even if the attached device 
supports full-duplex.  This is desirable 
when there are devices connected 
which will not operate correctly with 
half-duplex. Examples include switches 
that support full duplex only.  

 

Therefore, the default setting 

of half-duplex (fiber ports) is generally 
desirable as it is widely used and 
allows for the connection of various 
devices without re-configuration (where 
the connected device is half duplex and does not support full duplex i.e. hub and media-converters).

ProSwitch Quad-Series Fiber Switches 

Installation and User Guide 

Page 15 

Note: 

For 10Mbps fiber ports, the user can set the jumpers either at full duplex or half duplex on all the 

four ports. There are no individual port duplex options for 10Mbps ports. 

Note: 

Be certain that the main power is disconnected before opening the unit or changing any internal 

jumper settings

 

3.8 

Powering the ProSwitch Quad-Series Switch 

 

The ProSwitch Quad-Series switches incorporate an internal universal power supply, and has a 

recessed male IEC connector for the AC power cord at the left-rear.  A manual power ON-OFF switch is 
adjacent. A six-foot 115 VAC 60 Hz standard power cord is supplied with each unit shipped within the 
United States and Canada.         

 

The auto-ranging power supply supports installation environments where the AC voltage is from 

90 to 260 volts with a power input frequency of between 47 and 63 Hz.  The 8-port units will typically 
consume fewer than 20 watts of power, and the 16-port units will typically consume about 35 watts.  

 

When connecting the Ethernet cabling, there is no need to power down the unit.  Individual 

segments can be connected or disconnected without concern for AC power-related problems or damage 
to the unit. 

 

Power supply options are available to suit the Quad-Series switches to special high-availability 

communications and/or heavy industrial-grade applications, including: 

 

48VDC with single DC input, 

 

48VDC with dual-source DC input, 

 

48VDC with dual redundant internal power supply units and dual-source DC input,  

 

AC with dual redundant internal power supply units and dual-source AC input 

 

3.9  

Quad Port Module (QPM) Installation 

The ProSwitch Q-Series fiber switches are normally received from the factory with all required 

QPM modules installed. There may be situations where QPM cards need to be added or replaced.  In 
cases where additional QPM cards are needed, the faceplate for an available front-mounted slot must be 
removed. The following procedure describes this operation.

 

3.9.1  Preparation for Installing and Removing QPMs 

STOP!!! 

Be sure the power cord is unplugged from the chassis before attempting to remove and/or 

replace any QPM cards. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit and will void the 
warranty. 

Caution- Avoid Static Discharge:   The port modules (like most electronic equipment) are sensitive 

to static discharge.  Use proper ESD measures when handling port modules. 

Step 1 

Make sure the QPM Card package has all necessary accessories to install it properly. The QPM 
card package for field installation comes along with a QPM card, two 7/16 stand-offs, two #4-40 
pan-head screws, two #4-40 black color flat-head screws and two headers pin.

 

Step 2  Remove Chassis Cover 

 

The ProSwitch Q-Series chassis are combined with top and bottom part and assembled together 

with the help of 20 Philips head screws. There are 7 screws located on front-top of the unit and three 
screws each on the left and right edges.  Remove these screws. Once these are removed, the top cover 
is easily lifted off the chassis base. When the chassis top cover has been removed, the interior of the unit 
is exposed.
