5.Installation
(1) Operating Environment
This 16 ports smart switch must be installed and operated
within the limits of specified operating temperature and humidity
(see previous section under Specifications). Do not place objects on
top of the unit. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the unit. Do
not position the unit near any heating source such as heater, radiator,
or direct exposure to sun. Prevent entering of water and moisture
into the unit. If necessary, use dehumidifier to reduce humidity.
(2) Connecting network devices
The RJ-45 ports on the switch are designed as MDI-X ports
which allow using straight-through cables to connect this switch to
workstation or hub’s uplink port (MDI). A crossover cable must be
used to connect the switch directly to a hub’s regular port.
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. The UTP network cables
must comply with EIA/TIA 568 specifications and Category 5
standard for 100Mbps data transmission. 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 green LNK/ACT LED
should be lit.
An uplink port is located right next to the 16th port of this switch. The
uplink port is a shared port with the 16th port but provides the MDI
connecting to another hub/switch using regular straight-through cables.
Otherwise if you have bought our fiber option module that you can expansion to 1.5k
meters (5000ft) between the switch and connected device.
(3) Connecting the power
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of
the unit. Connect the power cord to the power outlet and turn on
power switch. The Power LED on the front panel should be lit.

Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical subgroup within a local area
network which can be configure through port configuration. VLAN
can be configured to optimize traffic or to isolate specific
workstations for reasons of security or convenience. Each VLAN
you configure behaves as an isolated broadcast domain just as if it
were a separate switch. There is no communication between ports on
the separate VLANs unless the VLANs are connected by an external
router.

and the hub. Make sure the power switch on the hub is turned ON.
2. 100M Link is not lit when connect to 100Mbps device
Check the power switch of the network device attached to the
switch; make sure it is turned ON.
Check the network cable; make sure it is properly connected to the
switch and the network device.
Check the network cable; make sure the UTP cables comply with
EIA/TIA 568 and Category 5 specification.
If normal RJ-45 ports are used to connect to a hub/switch, make
sure you have connected to the uplink port and not an regular port.
If RJ-45 ports are used to connect to a hub’s regular port, make
sure the crossover cable is used.
3. Collision LED flashes constantly
Make sure the cable is connected to the uplink port.
Check the network cable; make sure it is properly connected to
both hubs. One end of the cable should be connected to the first port while
the other end of the cable should connected to a regular port. Do not connect
the cable to both uplink ports.
Check the network cable; make sure the cable complies with
EIA/TIA 568 specification. Use CAT5 cables for 100Mbps
connection and minimum CAT3 cables for 10Mbps connection.
4. Collision LED flashes constantly
Remove all the network cables; connect the cables back one by one
to isolate the source of the collision.
Check the network cable, inferior cable quality will result in
excessive collision and error packets.
