Congratulations on your purchase of this high-quality Belkin 16- or
24-Port Gigabit Switch. Backward-compatible with 10/100 networks,
each Switch easily integrates into a new or existing network for
instant high performance. 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 compact convenience, 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-, 100-, or 1000Mbps network and
adjust for straight-through or crossover cables, so you don’t have
to worry about cable type.

Connecting Networking Devices to your Switch
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,
100Base-Tx, and 1000Base-T 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,
100Base-Tx, and 1000Base-T 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 5e or 6 for Gigabit connections (1000Mbps)
• Category 5 for Ethernet (10Mbps) and Fast Ethernet
connections (100Mbps)

Applications
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, or 1000Mbps full duplex, providing
up to 2Gbps 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-, 100-, or 1000Mbps connections to workstations, or
1000Mbps full-duplex links to high-speed servers. It can also provide
a high-bandwidth uplink to the network backbone.

7
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.

Troubleshooting
Diagnosing Switch Indicators
Symptom
Power LED does not light after power on.
Probable Causes
AC power cord may be defective.
Possible Solutions
• Check for loose connections.
• Check the power outlet by using it for another device.
• Replace the AC power cord.
Symptom
Port (Link/Act) LED does not light after connection is made.
Probable Causes
Switch port, network card, or cable may be defective.
Possible Solutions
• Check that the Switch and attached device are both
powered on.
• Be sure the network cable is connected to both devices.
• Verify that Category 5 or better cable is used for 10/100Mbps
connections; Category 5, 5e, or 6 cable for 1000Mbps
connections; and that the length of any cable does not
exceed 328 feet (100m).
• Check the network card and cable connections for defects.
• Replace the defective card or cable if necessary.

Power and Cooling Problems
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord
is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet,
power cord, or internal power supply as explained in the
previous section. However, if the unit powers off after running
for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses
or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fan on the
right side of the unit (F5D5141-24) is unobstructed and running
prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the problem, the
internal power supply may be defective.
Installation
Verify that all system components have been properly
installed. If one or more components (e.g., the power cord or
network cabling) appear to be malfunctioning, test them in an
alternate environment where you are sure that all the other
components are functioning properly.
You can find additional support information at
www.belkin.com/networking or www.belkin.com
through the tech-support area.
If you want to contact technical support by phone, please call
877-736-5771. Technical support is available 24 hours a day, 7
days a week.
Before you Call
If possible, turn on your system before you call Belkin for
technical assistance and call from a telephone at or near the
computer. You may be asked to describe detailed information
during operation.
