Congratulations on your purchase of this high-quality Belkin 16- or
24-Port Network Switch. Backward-compatible with 10Mbps networks,
the Switch easily migrates your network from conventional Ethernet to a
multiple-segment, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet connection. It delivers dedicated
100Mbps links to each directly attached LAN segment or PC, enabling your
servers and workstations to transfer large AV and graphic files efficiently
throughout your network. This makes the Switch an excellent way to
increase the throughput of interconnected Ethernet and Fast Ethernet hubs
or server farms.
Engineered for convenient setup and operation, each Switch features a
durable metal chassis that can be placed on the desktop or integrated into
a 19-inch rack, using the included rack-mount kit. All ports auto-negotiate
between a 10- or 100Mbps network and adjust for straight-through or
crossover cables, so you don’t have to worry about cable type.

Connecting your Switch to your Computers
1. Power down all your equipment.
2. Connect a Category 5e or 6 Ethernet cable between each computer’s
network interface card (NIC) and one of the numbered ports on the front
of the Switch.
3. All switch ports can automatically negotiate speeds at
full- and half-duplex modes to allow users to attach 10Base-T and
100Base-Tx network devices.
4. Connect the power cord into the power socket in the rear of the Switch;
now plug the other end of the power cord into a power source (wall jack
or power strip).

Connecting your Switch to another Switch
1. Connect a Category 5e or 6 cable between one of the numbered ports
on the front of the Switch and one of the numbered ports on the other
Switch to which you are cascading or connecting.
2. All switch ports can automatically negotiate speeds at
full- and half-duplex modes to allow users to attach 10Base-T and
100Base-Tx network devices, 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.
Cabling Distances
• 328 ft. (100m)
Recommended Cabling Standard
• Category 5, 5e, or 6 for Ethernet (10Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100Mbps)

Placement of the Switch
This Switch segments your network, significantly increasing both bandwidth
and throughput. Each port on the Switch can be attached to any Ethernet,
Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet device, such as another switch, or a
server’s network adapter. All ports operate at 10/100Mbps full and half
duplex, providing up to 200Mbps of bandwidth to the attached device.
Bridging Functions
This Switch provides fully transparent bridging functions. It automatically
learns node addresses that are subsequently used to filter and forward
all traffic based on the destination address. When traffic passes between
devices attached to the same shared collision domain, those packets are
filtered from the Switch. But when traffic must be passed between unique
segments (i.e., different ports on the Switch), the high-speed switching
fabric forwards the packets at near-zero latency.
Switching Functions
Store-and-forward switching is used to forward traffic to other ports. This
scheme ensures data integrity and provides a clean data stream.
Sample Application
This Switch is designed to operate as a small workgroup switch. It can
provide 10- or 100Mbps connections to workstations and to high-speed
servers. It can also provide a 100Mbps uplink to the network backbone.

Applications

The Switches can be placed on a flat surface or in a 19-inch rack.
Placement on a Flat Surface
1. Affix the four included rubber feet 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.
