General Description
The device is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet switch, with all 24 ports capable of 10
or 100Mbps auto-negotiation operation (Nway) which means the switch could automatically
negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for
micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance,
enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications. Moreover, the
10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy way to migrate 10Mbps to 100Mbps network
with no pain. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the Ethernet Switch
delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth
congestion issue.

Power Connecting
Plug the circle end of the power adapter firmly into the power port on the switch rear panel, and
the other end into an electric service outlet, then the system is ready.
Connecting computers to the switch
The switch features auto-MDI/MDIX crossover detection function and provides plug-and-play
capability. Users can immediately use any of the features of this product simply by plugging the
network cables ( J-45) into the computers and the switch.
Uplink
All Ports can be used as an uplink port for connecting to another unit without using crossover
cable. When using the uplink port, you can extend the distance to 100m for linking another switch
or hub.

To prolong the operational life of your units
*Never stack units more than eight high if freestanding
*Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack
*Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case
