4 Connect to the Data Ports
The switch provides eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-
45 ports that can connect to Power over
Ethernet (PoE) devices, such as an IP surveillance
camera or a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
phone.
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 adapter cable 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 10/100/1000 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
