Hardware Installation
Place the Switch on a smooth surface
Connect the output of power cord to the AC-inlet of the Switch.
Connect other IEEE802.3 compatible network device(Hub ,Switch ,PC) to one port of the Switch using
Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP cabling.
Connect another IEEE802.3 compatible network device (Hub , Switch ,PC) to another port of the Switch
by following the same process as described in Step3.
Notice:
The cable distance between the Switch and other IEEE802.3 compatible network device should not exceed
100 meter.
Make sure the wiring is correct
It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps operation. To reliably operate your network at 100Mbps, you
must use an Unshielded/shielded Twisted-Pair (UTP/STP) Category 5 cable, or better Data Grade cabling.
While a Category 3 or 4 cable may initially seem to work, it will soon cause data loss.
All kinds of IEEE802.3 compatible network device (Hub , Switch ,PC)can connect to the Switch by using
straight-through wires or crossover wires because of Switch’s auto MDIX function.
