Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY 8 Port Gigabit Desktop
Switch. This high-performance network switch is ideal for use in
either the home or the office. Its small footprint design means it
can easily fit on your desktop without taking up too much space.
All of its ports are capable of 10, 100 or 1000Mbps auto-
negotiation, while the 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensing ability
provides the easiest, most hassle-free way to migrate from a
Fast Ethernet to a Gigabit Ethernet network.
This switch delivers a dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps connection to
every attached client with no bandwidth congestion issues. It
also supports an auto MDI/MDI-X function - each port can be
used to connect to another switch or hub without the need for
crossover cables!
Store-and-forward architecture is used by the switch to filter and
forward data after each packet is received and examined to be
free of errors. All of the ports support full and half-duplex
operation which doubles the network bandwidth and allows the
simultaneous transmission and reception of frames without
causing collisions.
The switch provides 9KB Jumbo frame support which can
improve network performance by allowing more data to be sent
per transmitted frame.

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.
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. The network patch cables must at least comply with the
Category 5 standard for 10 and 100Mbps data transmission,
and at least Category 5e for 1000Mbps transmission.
4. Please always regard that the maximum segment 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.
5. Connect the power adapter to the mains and to the power
socket on the unit.
Troubleshooting
The power LED is not lit
Check the power adapter is properly connected to both the
mains outlet and the switch
Make sure the power at the mains socket is switched on!
The 1000M Link LED is not lit when connected to a
1000Mbps 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 in between have to be
at least category 5e compliant. (Cables which are self-
made by inexperienced personnel will almost always be
non-compliant with Gigabit specifications and
requirements!)
Should problems persist connect a local 1000Base-T device
to check if the port is working correctly. If this works
correctly it is probable that the network segment you want to
use is not 1000Base-T compliant. Use higher specification
cables and connectors for this network segment.
If you experience any other problems with the switch please
contact LINDY or your supplier.
