3. Installation
3.1 Starting LPB208A-R2 Up
This section will give users a quick start:
1. Take your LPB208A-R2 out of the package box.
2. Power on the LPB208A-R2. Refer to the Wiring the Power Inputs section for wiring instructions. After the LPB208A-R2
is powered on, the power LED on the LPB208A-R2 will light up. Refer to the LED Indicators section for descriptions of
the function of each LED indicators.
3. Connect one side of an Ethernet cable into the LPB208A-R2's TP port, while the other side is connected to the
attached device. The LED will light up when the cable is correctly connected. Refer to the LED Indicators section for
descriptions of the function of each LED indicator
4. After all necessary connections are established, and the corresponding LED indicators all light up and indicate that
each status is normal, the installation is now finished.
At the beginning, please follow below instruction first:
With the plug and play design, the Fast switch is easy in installation and use. Network and port status can be easily
monitored and done trouble-shooting via diagnostic LEDs. Wiring auto crossover on all ports of the switch also allows the
connection to server or PC to free from cabling problems.
1. In the switch, TP port supports MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover, so both types of cable, straight-through (Cable pin-outs for
RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 1, 2, 3, 6 in 10/100M TP) and crossed-over (Cable pin-outs for RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 3, 6, 1,
2) can be used. It means you do not have to tell from them, just plug it.
2. Use Cat. 5 grade RJ-45 TP cable to connect to a TP port of the switch and the other end is connected to a network-
aware device such as a workstation or a server.
3. Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each RJ-45 port to be connected to a Fast 10/100 TP device.
4. For Fast Ethernet TP network connection.
5. The grade of the cable must be Cat. 5 or Cat. 5e with a maximum length of 100 meters.
6. Insert the power cord. The embedded internal power unit using different AC power cord is available for different areas.
