1: PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.1 Product Introduction
The XGS-1008 8-Port Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Switch is especially suited to
home and small-business networking. It provides eight 10/100/1000Mbps ports
with Auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX capability. All ports can be used for
ordinary network traffi c as well as for uplinks to connect with other networking
devices (i.e. routers, switches, etc.). The XGS-1008 provides 10X the performance
of a standard 10/100Mbps switch and can be a simple upgrade replacement for
resolving performance bottleneck issues associated with the use of legacy Ethernet
switch hardware. Each port within the XGS-1008 can deliver up to 2000Mbps in
full-duplex mode, making it an excellent choice of improving performance be-
tween devices on the local network. With easy XenConnect™ plug-and-play setup
and no network management you will benefi t from a seamless installation, whether
you are setting up a new network or upgrading from a legacy 10/100 switch.

3. PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
3.1 System Requirements
Ethernet Cables to connect the XGS-1008 to Ethernet enabled devices
 Power should be AC 100-240V~ 0.1A(Max) 50/60Hz.
3.2 Installation Requirements
Install the XGS-1008 in a stable/safe place to avoid any possible damage
Inspect the AC power cord to ensure that it is correctly connected and
undamaged
To avoid electric shock, DO NOT open the XGS-1008 housing (no user service-
able parts inside). Opening the XGS-1008 will void your warranty.
It is recommended that the Grounding connection to the outlet is functioning
properly and the XGS-1008 is positioned away from direct sun light
Ensure there is suffi cient space around the XGS-1008 for proper ventilation and
heat dissipation. It is recommended to have at least 4-6 inches around all sides.
3.3 Before Connecting to the Network
Before connecting the XGS-1008 to the network, please check the following:
 Determine placement location. Do not place any heavy articles on the XGS-1008.
 Ensure there is adequate space for proper heat dissipation and ventilation around
the XGS-1008.
 Power socket should be within 4 feet of the XGS-1008.
 Check power adapter to confi rm safe and secure connection.
4. XGS-1008 INSTALLATION
4.1 Connecting Devices
Use standard Ethernet CAT5, CAT5e or CAT6 cable to connect the XGS-1008 to
a device as described below (CAT6 must be used in order to achieve full Gigabit
bandwidth). The XGS-1008 will automatically adjust to the characteristics (speed/
duplex) of the device to which it is connected.
