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 -40 and 75ºC (-40 and 167ºF).
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:
8, 12, 13, or 14 10/100Base-TX ports
0, 1, or 2 100Base-FX ports
0, 1, or 2 Gigabit ports
10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX Ports
These ports come in 10/100Base-TX/FX/BX
interfaces. They can connect to devices such as
an IP surveillance camera or a Voice Over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone.
A.
Insert one end of an appropriate 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
Some switch models have 1 or 2
10/100/1000Base-TX ports, 1000Base-SX/LX/BX
ports, or 2-port 1000Base SFP-combo
10/100/1000Base-TX ports.
You can connect these ports to network devices
such as a computer, printer, network video
recorder (NVR), network storage, or they can
connect to the network itself.
SFP-combo ports operate in “either/or” fashion.
This means that attaching to a 1 Gbps combo
port renders the equivalent partner combo port
unavailable.
5
Apply Power
The switch has two pairs of power inputs:
A 12-32VDC terminal block
A 12VDC jack
Only one power input is required to operate the
switch. However, redundant power supply
functionality is supported.
Terminal Block
The switch provides two power inputs on a 12-
32VDC terminal block. Only one power input is
required to operate the switch. The terminal
block has 4 terminal posts.
