1. Operating Environment
This switching hub must be installed and operated within the limits of
specified operating temperature (32-1310F) and humidity (10-95%
Noncondensing). 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 support Auto-MDI/MDI-X function which
allows using straight-through or cross-over type cables to connect this switch
to workstation or hub.
Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 port on the rear 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 1000Mbps 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.
3. Connecting the power

adapter to the power connector on the
rear panel of the unit. Connect the
