3
Select a Location
Desktop installations: Mount on a flat table
or shelf surface.
Rack installations: Use a 19-inch (48.3-
centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack
that is grounded and physically secure.
Identify a power source within 6 feet (1.8
meters).
Choose a dry area with ambient temperature
between -10 and 60ºC (14 and 140ºF).
Keep away from heat sources, sunlight, warm
air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
Be sure there is adequate airflow.
Keep the switch at least 6 ft (1.83 m) away
from the nearest source of electromagnetic
noise, such as a photocopy machine.

Connect to the Data Ports
Depending on the model, your switch can have
the following ports:
0, 8, 16, or 24 10/100Base-TX ports
0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, or 24 100Base-FX ports
0, 2, or 4 Gigabit ports
10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX Ports
These ports can connect to devices such as an IP
surveillance camera or a Voice Over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) phone.
A.
Insert one end of a Category 5 or better
Ethernet cable into a switch port.
B.
Connect the other end into the Ethernet port
of the device.
C.
Repeat steps A and B for each additional
device you want to connect to the switch.
Gigabit Ports
Gigabit ports come as 4-port 10/100/1000Base-
TX with Gigabit SFP socket combo, 4-port
1000Base-SX/LX/BX, or 2-port 10/100/1000Base-
TX with 2-port 1000Base-SX/LX/BX. These ports
can connect to network devices such as a
computer, printer, network video recorder
(NVR), network storage, or they can connect to
the network itself.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap before
connecting to these ports.
Gigabit-SFP combo ports operate in “either/or”
fashion. This means that attaching to a 1 Gbps
SFP port renders the equivalent partner combo
port unavailable.

Apply AC Power
A.
Connect the female end of the supplied AC
power adapter to the power receptacle on
the switch rear panel.
B.
Connect the other end to a grounded 3-
pronged AC outlet.
Power-Up Sequence

All
Link/ACT
LEDs blink momentarily.
The
