Check to see that you have everything before you start the installation.
Before you begin the installation, check the AC voltage of your area. The AC power adapter used to supply the DC power for the unit should have the AC voltage matching the commercial power voltage in your area. The specifications of the AC power adapter are:
|
AC power voltage of your area |
|
+7.5VDC 1A min. |

The DC power socket for the AC power adapter is located on the rear of the switch as shown below:

1. Install the switch with the AC power adapter provided.

2. Connect the power adapter cable to the switch before connecting the adapter to the AC outlet.

The following figure shows the location of the switched ports:

10/100 TP Port Configuration
All 10/100 TP ports support configuration as follows:
Auto-negotiation capable
Highest capability: 100M Full duplex
Speed: auto-sensing for 100Mbps or 10Mbps
Duplex: Full duplex, half-duplex
Auto MCI-X function
The following table lists the configuration used for the 10/100 port when it connects to different devices:
Connected Device |
Configuration Used |
10BaseT hub port |
10Mbps, half-duplex |
100BaseTX hub port |
100Mbps, half-duplex |
Auto-negotiation port Determined by auto-negotiation process |
|
Non-auto*1 half-duplex port |
auto-speed-sensing *2, half-duplex |
Non-auto full-duplex port |
Not supported |
*1 non-auto: non-auto-negotiation
*2 speed is determined by auto-sensing function
Cables
Depending on the connection speed, use the proper UTP cables:

10M |
Cat. 3, 4, 5, 5e or higher grade |

Auto-MDI-X Function
An Auto-MDI-X function will automatically detect if a crossover is required and make the swap of Tx pair and Rx pair internally. With this function, straight-through cable can be used for any connection. MDI to MDI-X connection rule is not necessary anymore. You can use just straight-through type cable for all your connections.
For different fiber connections, several alternative models can be selected for different fiber connections. Refer to Section 1.2 for model selection. The following figure illustrates a connection example between two SC fiber ports:

100FX Duplex Selector
This selector is used for 100FX port duplex mode selection as follows:
