1: Introduction
Compex SDS1224 is a 24-port 10/100 Base-TX switch used for high-performance
switched workgroup networks. This switch is a store-and-forward device that
offers low latency for high speed networking. This feature allows the switch to
auto-learn and store address on its 8K-entry MAC address table.
Compex SDS1224 is suitable for SME (small, medium enterprise) business
workgroup, department or backbone computing environments.

3: Let’s Get Going-Hardware Setup
Before setting up the Compex SDS1224, please take note of the following after
you have unpacked the unit:
• Ensure that there is sufficient space for heat ventilation when placing it near
to a power outlet.
• Ensure that the mounting surface to place Compex SDS1224 should be free
of grease and dust.
• Ensure that there is enough spacing around the unit to allow attachment of
network cables.
Attach the rubber feet on the bottom of the metal chassis. These rubber feet
prevent the switch from shock and vibration.
Since Compex SDS1224 comes with a rack mount kit, position one bracket to
align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the smaller
bracket screws.
Attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the switch.

After both the mounting brackets are attached, position the switch in the rack
by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack.
Secure the switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws.
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the switch.
The other side of power cord connects to the power outlet.
Use a RJ45 Ethernet cable and connect it to any of the ports. (according to the
examples in the Network Application ).
The hardware setup is done. You may power on the device now. Check the
power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.
