5-Port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch
8-Port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch
DESCRIPTION
The 5- or 8-Port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch is
used to create a small, Local Area Network (LAN).
Patch cords connected from the Switch to
structured wiring system connects network data
devices throughout the home.
INSTALLATION
To install the module into the Leviton Structured
Media™ Center (SMC), simply align the mounting
pins with the grid holes in the back of the SMC.
With the mounting pin plungers in the "out"
position, press the unit into the grid in the desired
location. Secure by pushing the plungers in.

Note: To remove the bracket from the switch,
loosen the screws underneath the Switch
and bracket combination, then slide the
units apart.

A. Power: Illuminates green when powered up.
B. Link/Activity (LNK/ACT): Illuminates green
when the port is connected to an ethernet or
fast ethernet connection. The LNK/ACT LED
indicator will blink if data is being transmitted
or received.
C. 10/100 Mbps (100): Illuminates yellow when
a fast ethernet connection is made.

A. RJ-45 Ports: Switch is equipped with either 5
or 8 RJ-45 ports, depending on the unit.
Designed to make 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
connections.

additional switches, hubs or routers.
C. Power Supply Port: Connect the provided 12
VDC Power Supply to the Switch.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS
10/100 Mbps is a specification for Ethernet
networks based on twisted pair cabling. The
maximum length of a segment for 10/100 Mbps
networks is 100 meters. The cable and
connectors are commonly referred to as a
Category 5 or Category 5e patch cord and RJ-45
connectors, respectively.
To establish 10/100 Mbps connections, you will
need the following equipment:
• Twisted pair Category 5 or 5e patch cord for
switch-to-NIC (network interface card)
connections.
• Twisted pair Category 5 or 5e patch cord for
switch-to-switch connections, usually referred
to as "switch cascading".
Establishing Connections
1. Ensure that both the Switch and the soon-to-
be connected device are in the POWER OFF
mode.
2. Plug one end of a patch cord into an
available 10/100 Mbps Switch port. Connect
that cord’s other end to the intended port in
a Category 5e Voice & Data Module which is
already wired to the wall location.
3. Connect a patch cord from the NIC to the
soon-to-be connected device at the wall
location to complete the link.
Uplinking (Cascading) to Other Switches
and Hubs
Switches, hubs and similar network devices are
uplinked to the switch with straight-through
Category 5 or 5e cabling.
1. Connect a Category 5 or 5e cable from the
Uplink port on your network device to any
port on the Switch.

This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
