Grounding the Switch
This section describes how to connect the switch
to the ground. You must complete this procedure
before powering on the switch.
Required Tools and Equipment:
• One M4 x 6 mm (metric) pan-head screw
(included in the accessory kit).
• Grounding cable (not included in the accessory
kit): The grounding cable should be sized
according to local and national installation
requirements. Depending on the power supply
and system, a 12 to 6 AWG copper conductor is
required for installation. Commercially available
6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the
cable depends on the proximity of the switch to
proper grounding facilities.
• A screwdriver (not included in the accessory kit).
You can connect the switch to a protective ground
by following the steps below:
1. Verify if the system power is o.
2. Use the grounding cable to place the #8 terminal
lug ring (not included in the accessory kit) on top
of the ground-screw opening.
3. Insert the grounding screw into the ground
screw opening.
4. Using a screwdriver, tighten the grounding screw
to secure the grounding cable to the switch.
5. Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end
of the grounding cable to an appropriate
grounding stud or bolt on the rack where the
switch is installed.
6. Verify that the ground connections on the switch
and the rack are securely attached.

Switch Function Controlled Default
Standard
Switch all ports can communicate with each
other port and work as a common Unmanaged
Switch. *1 to 16 port supports Power over Ethernet
and transmit data at 10/100 Mbps.** 1 to 8 port
supports port priority to optimize port cache.
On
Isolate
1 to 16 port can’t communicate with
each other, but each of them can
communicate with port 17 and 18.
O
Extend
The data rate of 9 to 16 port is limited to 10Mbps,
whereas the maximum transmission distance
of the port is increased to 250 meters.

Hardware Installation
Before You Begin
Observe the following precautions to help prevent
shutdowns, equipment failures, and personal injury:
• Install the DSS-100E-18P in a cool and dry
place. Refer to the technical specications in
the user manual for the acceptable operating
temperature and humidity ranges.
• Install the switch in a site free from strong
electromagnetic sources, vibration, dust, and
direct sunlight.
• Leave at least 10 cm of space to the left and right-
hand side of the switch for ventilation.
• Visually inspect the power connector and make
sure that it is fully secured to the power cord.
• Do not stack any devices on top of the switch.

Using the Switch on a Flat Surface
The included rubber pads can be placed on the
bottom of the device to prevent it from damaging
the surface it is placed on.
1. Remove the rubber pads from the adhesive strip.
2. Stick one pad on each corner on the bottom
panel of the switch.
Figure 4
Mounting the Switch in a Rack
The DSS-100E-18P can be mounted into a standard
19” server rack.
1. Attach the included mounting brackets to the
sides of the switch and secure them using the
provided screws.
Figure 5
2. Install the switch into the rack.
3. Use the screws that were provided with the rack
to secure the switch to the rack.
Figure 6
Grounding the Switch
This step must be completed before powering on
the switch.
Required tools and equipment for grounding
• Grounding screw (included) and one M4x6
(metric) pan-head screw (not included).
• Grounding cable (not included). The grounding
cable should be sized according to local and
national installation requirements. Depending
on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG
copper conductor is required for installation.
Commercially available 6 AWG wire is
recommended.The length of the cable depends
on the proximity of the switch to proper
grounding facilities.
• A screwdriver (not included).
Note: Verify that the system is powered o.
1. Remove the grounding screw from the back of
the device and place the #8 terminal lug ring of
the grounding cable on top of the grounding
screw opening.
2. Insert the grounding screw back into the screw
opening and use a screwdriver to tighten the
grounding screw.
3. Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end
of the grounding cable to an appropriate
grounding source.
4. Verify that the connection between the
grounding connector on the switch and the
grounding source is secure.
Powering On the Switch
1. Connect the power cord to the power connector
on the switch.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a
nearby power socket.
Connecting to the Network
The switch can be integrated into the network
through one of the following connection methods:

Switch to End Node or Powered Device
Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the switch
to PCs with an 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 interface,
or connect and power remote IEEE 802.3af/at-
compliant devices, such as IP cameras or IP phones
using PoE.
Switch to Hub or Switch
Connect the switch to another switch or hub using
the RJ-45 or SFP uplink ports.
Switch to Server
Connect the switch to a network backbone or
network server using the RJ-45 or SFP uplink ports.
