Installation
Before you install the switch, please check the following items in the
package：
One 24-port Fast Ethernet +2 Gigabit Combo-port Switch
One Power cord
One user manual
Four rubber feet
Rack-mount brackets and screws
In the following there are two ways for your installation. You can
select one that suits you.
Desktop Installation
1. Install the switch on a level surface that can support the weight of
the unit & the relevant components, and attach the rubber feet to
the bottom. The rubber feet cushion the switch and helps protect
the case from scratches.
2. Plug the switch to electrical source with the provided power cord.
Rack-Mount Installation
Rack mounting facilitate to an orderly installation when series of
network devices being installed.
1. Disconnect all the cables from the switch.
2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the
front facing you.
3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one
side of the unit.
4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.
5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.
6. Insert the unit into the rack and secure with suitable screws
7. Reconnect all the cables.
Concerning about the installation environment, we strongly
recommend:
1. The switch is placed with appropriate ventilation environment. A
minimum 25 mm space around the unit is recommended.
2. The switch and the relevant components are away from sources
of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband
amplifiers.
3. Avoid from environments beyond recommend moisture.

Station Connection
Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable. Plug one
RJ-45 connector into a RJ-45 port of the switch, and plug the other
RJ-45 connector into the station’s network adapter. Power on the
switch and then system is ready.
Switches Connection
In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to
connect another switch with straight or crossover cable. As all the
ports support auto MDI / MDI-X function, using a straight cable to
make a switch-to-switch connection is allowed.
