Prepare to Install the Switch
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface such as a table,
desk or shelf. The switch comes with wall-mounting screws. You can use the screws if
you want to hang the switch in an open space on a wall. Make sure the selected location is:
• Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
• Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space on
all sides of the switch.
• Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
Also, you will need one Category 5e (Cat 5e) Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors for
each device you want to connect to the switch. Each Ethernet cable must be less than 328
feet (100 meters).
Install the Switch and Connect the
Other Devices
1. Place the switch on a flat surface or hook onto the screws.
2. For each device, insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the port in the device and
insert the other end into one of the Ethernet ports on the switch.
3. Connect the power adapter cord into the back of the switch and then plug the adapter
into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).
The Power light should light up.
4. Check the LEDs to confirm that all connections are correct.
