Introduction
Hamlet HN05S/HN08S is a high-performance Fast
Ethernet switch with all ports capable of 10 or 100 Mbps
auto-negotiation (NWay) operation, which means the
switch could automatically negotiate with the connected
partners on the network speed and duplex mode.
It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into smaller,
connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the
bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging
applications. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps
networks, the switch delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps
connection to every attached client without bandwidth
congestion issue.
This switch also supports auto MDI/ MDI-X function. Each
port could be used to connect to another switch or hub
without crossover RJ-45 cable.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low
latency plus eliminates all the network errors, including runt
and CRC error packets. To work under full-duplex mode,
transmission and reception of the frames can occur
simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double
the network bandwidth. Moreover, Green Ethernet and
Pre-IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (HN05S only)
is supported to save power consumption.
The switch is plug and play without any software to
configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of network
protocols. The diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel can
provide the operating status of individual port and whole
system.

Station connection
Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable.
Plug one RJ-45 connector into a port of the switch and plug
the other RJ-45 connector into the station’s network
adapter.
Connect the power adapter supplied with the product to the
power input on the back of the switch and then to a wall
electrical outlet.
The switch is powered immediately and automatically
detects connected devices.
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.
For cable selection, refer to the following table.

Note
To make this switch perform well, we strongly recommend
below installation environment:
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. The switch is away from environments beyond
recommend moisture.
