Mounting and connecting the LANCOM switch
Installing the LANCOM switch involves the following steps:
A
Mounting – The device is designed for mounting in an available 19”
unit in a server cabinet. Make use of the supplied mounting brackets
for 19“ cabinets. If necessary fix the rubber pads to the underside of
the device to prevent any scratching to other equipment.
5
Ensure that the device has sufficient ventilation to prevent damage
from excessive heat build-up.
A
LAN connection – Connect the network devices to the ports of the
LANCOM switch by means of a suitable twisted-pair cable (TP cable).
The connectors automatically detect the available data transfer speeds
and the pin assignment (autosensing).
4
Use only standard TP cables of category CAT 5 or better with a
maximum length of 100 m to ensure the best possible data transfer.
Crossover cables can be used thanks to the auto-sensing function.
