Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY 8 Port Gigabit
Desktop Switch. This high-performance network switch is
ideal for use in High Speed networks. Its small footprint
design means it can easily fit on your desktop without
taking up too much space.
All of the switch’s ports are capable of 10, 100 or
1000Mbps auto-negotiation, whilst its 10/100/1000Mbps
auto-sensing capability 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 auto MDI/MDI-X
functionality - each port can be used to connect to another
switch or hub without the need for crossover cables!
The switch uses store-and-forward architecture to filter
and forward data after each packet has been received
and examined to be free of errors. All ports support full
and half-duplex operation which doubles the network
bandwidth and allows the simultaneous transmission and
reception of data.
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
1. This switch features Auto MDI/MDI-X RJ45 ports for easy
connection to other network devices using straight-through
type network patch cable, cross over cables are not
required.
2. The network patch cables must comply with the Category 5
standard or higher for 10 and 100Mbps data transmission,
and at least Category 5e for 1000Mbps transmission.
3. Please be aware that the maximum length of any Ethernet
segment is 100m. If you are connecting the switch to a
patch panel, a maximum 5m of cable should be used to
connect the switch to the panel; similarly any equipment
connected to the switch should also use a maximum of 5m
cable, per device. Installation cabling may use the
remaining length. Using higher specification network cable
may increase this to a certain extent.
4. Connect the power adapter to the mains and to the power
socket on the switch.
Troubleshooting
The power LED is not lit
 Check the power adapter is properly connected to both the
mains outlet and the switch and that the power at the mains
socket is switched on!
The 1000M Link LED is not lit when connected to a
1000Mbps device
 Check the network cable. Make sure it is properly
connected to the switch and to the network device. The
segment length must be below 100 metres (see remark in
Installation) and all cables and connectors in between must
be at least category 5e compliant. We recommend the use
of professionally manufactured cables with this product to
ensure full Gigabit compatibility (Cables which are self-
made may be non-compliant with Gigabit specifications
and requirements!)
 Should problems persist connect a local 1000Base-T device
to check that the port is working correctly. If this works
correctly it is probable that the network segment you want to
use contains equipment which is not 1000Base-T compliant.
Check the network segment and replace non-complaint
equipment with higher specification cables and connectors
where required.
 If you experience any other problems with the switch please
contact your supplier or LINDY.
WEEE , Recycling of Electronic Products
Europe
In 2006 the European Union introduced
regulations (WEEE) for the collection and
recycling of all waste electrical and electronic
equipment. It is no longer allowable to simply
throw away electrical and electronic equipment.
Instead, these products must enter the recycling process.
Each individual EU member state has implemented the WEEE
regulations into national law in slightly different ways. Please
follow your national law when you want to dispose of any
electrical or electronic products. More details can be obtained
from your national WEEE recycling agency.
Germany / Deutschland
Die Europäische Union hat mit der WEEE Direktive umfassende
Regelungen für die Verschrottung und das Recycling von
Elektro- und Elektronikprodukten geschaffen. Diese wurden von
der Bundesregierung im Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz –
ElektroG in deutsches Recht umgesetzt. Dieses Gesetz
verbietet vom 24.März 2006 an das Entsorgen von Elektro- und
Elektronikgeräten über die Hausmülltonne! Diese Geräte
müssen den lokalen Sammelsystemen bzw. örtlichen
Sammelstellen zugeführt werden! Dort werden sie kostenlos
entgegen genommen. Die Kosten für den weiteren
Recyclingprozess übernimmt die Gesamtheit der
Gerätehersteller.
