User’s Manual

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed
and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the instructions provided with
the equipment, may cause interference to radio and TV reception. The equipment
has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing
device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a
commercial environment. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation.
If you suspect this equipment is causing interference, turn your switch on and off
while your radio or TV is showing interference to determine the source of the
interference.
You can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient the receiving radio or TV antenna where this may be done safely.
2. To the extent possible, relocate the radio, TV or the other receiver away
from the equipment.
3. Plug the computer which has the equipment installed into a different power
outlet so that equipment and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, you should consult the place of purchase or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestion.
CAUTION : The phone jack cannot be connected to telephone system.

1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this Fast Ethernet Switch. This high
performance switch provides Fast Ethernet ports to segment network traffics, extend
Fast Ethernet connection distance, and convert data packets between different
transmission speeds.
This switch utilize 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.
It’s rackmount design that can be mounted on the industrial standard 19 inches rack
in the enterprise wiring center.
All of UTP ports support full & half duplex which are able to provide 200Mbps of
bandwidth, The auto-negotiation function providing smooth migration from Ethernet
to Fast Ethernet. It also supports backpressure and IEEE 802.3x advanced flow
control capability that can reduce congestion and prevent packet loss. Importantly it
provide Auto-MDI/MDI-X function on all UTP port, so you don’t need to worry
about whether the cable is normal or cross over type.
And it offers the best way to relieve bandwidth bottlenecks and provide faster
response times for networked users.
This switch is typically used to segment network traffics that can improve the
network performance by increasing the total bandwidth as illustrated in Figure 1-1.

6. Installation
1. Operating Environment
This 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 to network devices
The RJ-45 ports on the switch are designed as Auto-MDI/MDI-X ports whether the
cable is straight-through or cross over type, this switch could connect with
workstation or other switch/hub easily.
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.
Following 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).
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 green Power LED
on the front panel should be lit.

Figure 5-5 Connect the
power cable

7. Trouble-shooting
1. Power LED is not lit
• Check if the power cord is properly connected to the power outlet and the hub.
Make sure the power switch on the hub is turned ON.
2. 100M UTP 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.
3. UTP Collision LED flashes constantly
• Remove all the network cables, then plug in the cables to isolate the source of the
collision.
• Check the network cable, inferior cable quality will result in excessive collision
and error packets.
[!] Contact your dealer if problem persist.
