This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received; including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

Introduction
The device is a powerful, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch,
with all ports capable of 10, 100 or 1000Mbps auto-negotiation
operation (NWay), 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.
Moreover, the 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an
easy way to migrate 10/100Mbps to 1000Mbps network with no pain.
Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switch
delivers a dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps connection to every attached
client with no bandwidth congestion issue. This switch also supports
auto MDI / MDI-X function. Each port could be used to connect to
another switch or hub with no 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.
The switch provides 9K bytes jumbo frames, which means the
frames size is larger than normal 1.5K. With the Jumbo frame
function, you can get better network performance, because the
switch can send more data at the same time.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also
fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols.
Before you start to install the switch, check the following contents in

Stations 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.
For cable selection, refer to the following table.
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：
Network Speed Cable Type Max. Length
10Mbps Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
100Mbps Cat. 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
1000Mbps Cat. 5e/6 UTP/STP 100 meters
