INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of this high-quality Belkin networking product.
Belkin 16- and 24-Port 10/100 Switches allow you to easily add port density to your
existing 10/100 network.
Engineered for compact convenience, each Switch features a durable metal chassis
that can be placed on the desktop, mounted on a wall, or with the included
rack-mount kit, integrated into a 19-inch rack. All ports auto-negotiate between a
10/100Mbps network and adjust for straight-through or crossover cables—you don’t
have to worry about cable type.
Compatible with existing major operating systems, your 16- or 24-Port 10/100
Switch from Belkin delivers error-free transfers at Fast Ethernet network speeds.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SWITCH
Power LED
• Green – Switch is operating normally
• Off – There is no power to the Switch
Link and Activity (Link/Act) LED
• Solid Green – A valid link has been established
• Blinking Green – Data is being transmitted and received
• Off – No link is established
Speed (10/100M) LED
• Solid Green – 100Mbps operation
• Off – 10Mbps operation
Duplex Mode/Collision (FDX/COL) LED
• Solid Green – A full-duplex link is established on the port
• Off – A half-duplex link is established on the port

CONNECTING NETWORKING DEVICES TO YOUR SWITCH
Connecting your Switch to your Computers
1. Power down all your equipment.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable between each computer’s network interface card and
one of the numbered ports on the front of the Switch.
3. All switch ports can automatically negotiate speeds and full- and half-duplex
modes to allow users to attach 10/100Base-Tx network devices.
4. Connect the power adapter cord into the power adapter socket in the rear of the
Switch; now plug the adapter cord into a power source (wall jack or power strip).
Connecting your Switch to another Switch
1. Connect a 10/100 Ethernet cable between one of the numbered ports on the front
of the Switch and one of the numbered ports on the other Switch you are
cascading or connecting to.
2. All switch ports can automatically negotiate speeds and full- and half-duplex
modes to allow users to attach 10/100Base-Tx network switches or hubs.
3. All ports support auto MDI and MDIX functionality. When cascading or connecting
switches or hubs, the user can use a straight-through or crossover cable.
Important: When connecting two switches together, use a single cable. If multiple
cables are used, loops may occur resulting in unwanted collisions. This will result in
poor network performance.

PLACEMENT OF THE SWITCH
The Switches can be placed on a flat surface, on a wall, or in a 19-inch rack.
Placement on a Flat Surface
1. Affix the four rubber feet shipped with the Switch on the bottom of the Switch in
the area that is clearly marked on each of the four corners.
2. Make sure the Switch is placed in an area that allows for proper ventilation.
3. Place on a flat surface.
Placement in a 19-Inch Rack
1. Do not affix the four rubber feet on the Switch when rack-mounting. If already
affixed, remove.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to each side of the Switch with the included screws.
3. Place the Switch in the rack and align the holes of the mounting bracket with the
correct hole in the rack.
4. Place and tighten the screws of each mounting bracket into the rack.
