3 Select a Location
Desktop installations: Mount on a flat table
or shelf surface.
Rack installations: Use a 19-inch (48.3-
centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack
that is grounded and physically secure.
Identify a power source within 6 feet (1.8
meters).
Choose a dry area with ambient temperature
between 0 and 40ºC (32 and 104ºF).
Do not cover fans on the rear and side.
Keep away from heat sources, sunlight, warm
air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
Be sure there is adequate airflow.
Keep the switch at least 6 ft (1.83 m) away
from the nearest source of electromagnetic
noise, such as a photocopy machine.
4 Connect to the Data Ports
The switch is equipped with eight 10/100 Mbps
RJ-45 port that provide IEEE802.3at Power over
Ethernet (PoE), with up to 30 Watts per port (50
- 57VDC, 600mA Max.) These ports can be
connected to PoE devices such as IP surveillance
cameras or Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
phones.
A. Insert one end of a Category 5 or better
Ethernet cable into a switch port.
B. Connect the other end into the Ethernet port
of the device.
C. Repeat steps A and B for each additional
device you want to connect to the switch.
5 Apply AC Power
A. Connect the female end of the supplied AC
power cord to the power receptacle on the
switch rear panel. Connect the other end to
a grounded 3-pronged AC outlet.
B. On the switch rear panel, move the ON/OFF
switch to the ON position.
When you apply AC power:
All green PoE and Link/ACT LEDs blink
momentarily.
The fans start.
The yellow Power LED goes ON.
The Link/ACT LEDs for every port connected
to a device flash, as the switch conducts a
brief Power On Self-Test (POST).
6 Configure the Switch
After the switch passes its POST, perform a basic
configuration of the switch.
A. Connect an available 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
switch port to a PC using a Category 5 or
better Ethernet cable.
B. Confirm that the Link/ACT LED for the switch
port to which the PC is connected is ON.
C. Configure the PC’s TCP/IP settings to use the
subnet 192.168.2.2.
D. In a Web browser, type http://192.168.2.1
in the address bar and press Enter.
E. At the User Log In screen, type admin for the
ID (username)and password (both are case
