Introduction
Easily boost your networking throughput, the rack-mountable switch provides you 24 10/100/1000Mbps
ports that lead you to a real Gigabit connection. Users are now able to transfer large and high
bandwidth-needed files faster and hence get a real efficiency improvement. In addition to the cooper ports,
2 ports support fiber connection with the 2 equipped Mini-GBIC ports for obtaining long-distance
communication.
The switch offers users with fast and reliable network. The store-and-forward architecture filters errors and
forwards packets in a non-blocking environment. Flow control ensures the correctness of data transmitting.
The 802.3x and backpressure flow control mechanisms work respectively for full and half duplex modes.
The switch features with easy installation and maintenance. It supports N-Way auto-negotiation protocol,
which detects the networking speed (either 10/100/1000 Mbps) and the duplex modes (Full or Half duplex
mode) automatically and do an immediately adjustment to advance the capability and performance.
Auto-MDI/MDI-X function alleviates the effort to use crossover cables. Users need not to prepare
crossover cables for equipment connectivity. Also, rich diagnostic LEDs are provided for users to get
real-time information of the connection status that helps to do quick response and correction.

Front Panel
The front panel of the switch contains the RJ45 ports, LEDs, 2 SFP ports and an IEEE802.3az EEE
ON/OFF button. For detailed LED definition, please refer to the next paragraph.
The front panel of the switch is shown as below:
LED Definition
This switch contains one power LED and Link/Act LEDs that shows the activities and information of the
ports.
LED Status Operation
Steady Green The switch is powered on.
Power Off The switch is powered off.
Steady Green Valid port connection.
Blinking Green Valid port connection and there is data transmitting/ receiving.
Link/ Act
Off Port disconnected.
RJ-45 Ports
All the RJ-45 ports in the device are auto-negotiating and auto-crossover. An auto-negotiating port can
detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or half
duplex) of the connected device. An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a
straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.
Mini-GBIC Slots
There are two slots for mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers. You can plug the SFP port
modules into the switch. The SPF port modules are to be used with fiber-optical transceiver cabling in
1
V1

2 V1
The switch may standalone, or may be mounted in a standard 19” rack. Rack mounting produces an
orderly installation when you have a number of related network devices. The switch is supplied with two
optional rack mounting brackets and screws, which are used for rack mounting the unit.
order to uplink various other networking devices for a gigabit link that may span great distances.
You can change transceivers while the switch is operating and use different transceivers to connect to
Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic or even copper cable connectors.
The SFP module is a hot-pluggable transceiver and specified by a multi-source agreement (MSA). See the
SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.
802.3az ON/OFF Button
The IEEE802.3az ON/OFF button helps reducing the power consumption of switch. This button allows
users to keep the best performance without transmission impacted or to have the green support of Energy
Efficient Ethernet mode with the simple push of a button.
Rear Panel
The three-pronged power receptacle is located on the rear panel of the switch.
The rear panel of the switch is shown as below.
Power Receptacle
To be compatible with the electric service standards around the world, the switch is designed to afford the
power supply in the range from 100 to 240VAC, 50/60Hz. Please make sure that your outlet standard to be
within this range.
To power on the switch, connect one end of the supplied power cord to the power receptacle on the back of
the switch and the other end to the appropriate power source. After the power cord installation, please
check if the power LED is illuminated for a normal power status.
Installation
This switch can be placed on your desktop directly, or mounted in a rack. The installation is a snap. Users
can use all the features of the switch with simply attaching the cables and turning the power on.
Before installing the switch, we strongly recommend:
The switch is placed with appropriate ventilation environment. A minimum 25mm space around the
unit is recommended.
The switch and the relevant components are away from sources of electrical noise such as radios,
transmitters and broadband amplifiers.
The switch is away from environments beyond recommend moisture.

Attach the provided rubber feet to the bottom of the switch to keep the switch from slipping. The
recommend position has been square-marked.
Install the switch on a level surface that can support the weight of the unit and the relevant
components.
Plug the switch with the female end of the provided power cord and plug the male end to the power
outlet.
