Installation
Operating Environment
This switch must be installed and operated within the limits
of the specified operating temperature and humidity (see the
Specifications section)
Do not place objects on top of the unit. Do not obstruct any
vents on the unit
Do not position the switch in direct exposure to the sun, or
near any heat source such as a heater, radiator etc.
Prevent water and moisture entering the unit. If necessary,
use a dehumidifier to reduce humidity.
Connecting network devices
This switch features Auto MDI/MDI-X RJ-45 ports for easy
connection to other network devices using straight-through type
connecting cable. As a minimum, the network patch cables must
at least comply with the Category 5 standard for 10 and
100Mbps data transmission.
1. Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 port on
the switch. Connect the other end to the RJ-45 port on the
network device
2. Follow the same procedure to connect each of the RJ-45
ports on the switch.
3. Please always be aware that the maximum length of any
Ethernet segment is 100m. This can be achieved by using
patch cables of no more then 5m length at both ends plus
an installation cable in between for the remaining length.
Using higher spec network cable can increase this to a
certain extent.
4. Connect the power cable to the mains and to the power
socket on the unit.
Connecting to another network switch
You can use any port to make a connection to another switch,
with either straight or crossover cable, as all the ports support
Auto MDI/MDI-X.
Rack mounting the switch
The switch can either be installed standalone or mounted in a
19” rack. The switch is supplied with two rack mounting brackets
and screws for this purpose.
Troubleshooting
The power LED is not lit
Check the power cable is properly connected to both the
mains outlet and the switch
Make sure the power at the mains socket is switched on!
The Link/Act LED is not lit when connected to a network
device
Check the power cable and power switch of the device
connected to the switch. Make sure it is turned on!
Check the network cable. Make sure it is properly
connected to the switch and to the network device. The
segment length has to be below 100 metres (see remark
above) and all cables and connectors should be at least
category 5 compliant.
If this does not solve the problem try another port of the
switch that works OK and also check if the other device
works OK by attaching it to another properly working
network switch
If you experience any other problems with the switch please
contact LINDY or your supplier.
