FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits of a Class A computing devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
If you suspect this product is causing interference, turn your
computer on and off while your radio or TV is showing
interference. If the interference disappears then when you turn
the computer off and reappears when you turn the computer on,
something in the computer is causing interference.
You can try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
1. Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit difference
from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Ensure that all expansion slots (on the back or side of the
computer) are covered. Also ensure that all metal retaining
brackets are tightly attached to the computer.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this Fast/Gigabit Ethernet
Management Switch. This high performance management
switch provides Ethernet ports to segment network traffics,
extend Ethernet connection distance, and convert data packets
between different transmission speeds.
This switch utilizes stored-and-forward switching architecture
that filters and forwards data after the complete data packet is
received and examined to be free of errors. With one set of
status LEDs for each individual port, the switch operation status
can be easily monitored.
All the Fast Ethernet ports support both Full and Half duplex
mode which are able to provide up to 200Mbps(2000Mbps for
Gigabit Ports) of bandwidth to the connected devices, with
auto-negotiation providing the capability to connect to
100/10Mbps(1000/100/10Mbps for Gigabit ports) network
devices. It also supports backpressure and IEEE 802.3x
advanced flow control capabilities that can reduce congestion
and prevent packet loss.
And it offers advance features:
 SNMP/Web-based Management: Provides a web browser
to manage and monitor the switch.
 Bandwidth Control: Input and output rate control.
 VLAN: Port-based and Tag-based VLAN allow you to set
virtual LANs within your network
 Trunking: Reduce the bottleneck between switches
 QoS: Two priority queues per port allow you to define
which port has higher priority.
 802.1X: This switch supports port-based authentication
protocol, IEEE 802.1X.

7
In addition, all the ports support the MDI/MDI-X auto-detect
function. That is to say, you can connect any device (including
PC, Switch, Hub) to a port of this switch using a regular cable.
The RJ-45 port will auto-detect and auto-switch to the correct
MDI/MDI-X mode (do not need to use a specific uplink port or
cross-over cable).

Operating Environment
This management switch must be installed and operated
within the limits of the specified operating temperature and
humidity (see previous section on Specifications). Do not place
objects on top of the unit or obstruct any vents at the sides of the
unit. Do not position the unit near any heating source such as
heaters, radiators, or direct exposure to sun. Do not expose the
unit to water and or moisture. If necessary, use a dehumidifier to
reduce humidity.
Connecting to network devices
1. All ports of this switch support the Auto-MDI/MDI-X
function. That is to say, you can connect any device
(including PC, Switch, Hub) to a port of this switch using a
regular cable. The RJ-45 port will auto-detect and
auto-switch to the correct MDI/MDI-X mode. (do not need
to connect to a specific uplink port or cross-over cable)
2. Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 port on
the front panel, and connect the other end of the network
cable to the RJ-45 port on the network device. Follow the
same procedure to connect all the RJ-45 ports of the switch.
Maximum length, using UTP cable, between the switch and
connected device is 100 meters (300ft). Once the network
cable is connected to both ends and the attached network
device is powered on, the LNK/ACT LED should be lit.
3. Make sure the wiring is correct. You need to use Category
3/4/5 cable for 10Mbps operation or Category 5 cable for
100Mbps connections.
Connecting the power
Plug the power cable into the internal three-pronged power plug.
Connect it to an electrical outlet then turn on the switch.

4.2.3 Advanced
Miscellaneous Settings:
MAC Address Age-out Time: Type the number of seconds that
an inactive MAC address remains in the switch's address table.
The valid range is 300~765 seconds. Default is 300 seconds.
Max bridge transit delay bound control: Limit the packets
