Congratulations on your purchase of this high-quality Belkin 5- or
8-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. They provide your servers and workstations
the capacity to transfer large video, audio, and graphic files
throughout your network—at gigabit speeds.
Engineered for compact convenience, each Switch features a durable
metal chassis that can be placed on the desktop or mounted on a
wall. 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.
Compatible with existing 10/100 networks and major operating
systems, your 5- or 8-Port Gigabit Switch from Belkin delivers error-
free transfers at maximum networks speeds.

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 adapter cord into the power adapter socket
in the rear of the Switch; now plug the adapter into a power
source (wall jack or power strip).

Connecting your Switch to your Broadband Router
1. Make sure your broadband router is correctly configured to
connect to your ISP and you are able to surf the Internet.
Note: If have questions regarding the configuration of your
broadband router setup, consult your broadband router vendor.
2. Connect a Category 5e or 6 Ethernet cable between one of the
numbered ports on the rear of the broadband router and one of
the numbered ports on the rear of the Switch.
3. Connect the power adapter cord into the power adapter socket
in the rear of the Switch; now plug the adapter into a power
source (wall jack or power strip).
4. Power down all your computers.
5. Connect a Category 5e or 6 Ethernet cable between each
computer’s NIC and one of the numbered ports on the rear
of the Switch.
6. Power up all your computers connected to your Belkin Switch.

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)

Connecting Networking Devices to your 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 Switch ports operate
at 10/00Mbps 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.

The Switches can be placed on a flat surface or on the wall.
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 on the Wall
1. The wall-mount slots are two keyholes on the bottom of the
Switch. Attach two screws to the wall so that the Switch’s
wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.
2. Place the Switch so that it rests on the two screws.
3. Set the Switch on a flat surface in an open area to maximize
ventilation. Allow at least 2.5 inches on each side of the Switch
for proper ventilation and four inches at the back for proper
cable clearance.
4. Make sure the power cable is close enough to reach a
power outlet.

Diagnosing Switch Indicators
Symptom
Power LED does not light after power on.
Probable Causes
DC power adapter may be defective.
Possible Solutions
• Check for loose connections.
• Check the power outlet by using it for another device.
• Replace the DC power adapter.
Symptom

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).

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 fans on the
right side of the unit are 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.
