Introduction
The 16/24 port Ethernet Switch are designed to allow simultaneous transmission of
multiple packets via an internal high-speed data channel .This means that it can partition a
network more efficiently than bridges or routers in most environments .This 16/24 port
Ethernet Switch is a highly reliable network Switch and is the ideal device for bridging
Ethernet to Fast Ethernet workgroups or networks .Simple and cost-effective, the 16/24 port
Switch Ethernet supports IEEE802.3 10Base-T Ethernet and IEEE802.3u 100Base-TX Fast
Ethernet. The 16/24 port Switch is therefore fast being recognized as one of the most
important building blocks for today networking technology.
The front panel of the 16/24 port Ethernet Switch provides LEDs for easy recognition of
the Switch operation status and for troubleshooting .These LEDs display the power status for
the system and link status speed ,collision ,full-duplex and receives status for each port.
With 16/24 port Ethernet Switch designed specifically for connecting workgroup devices
and desktops, companies no longer have to invest in expensive and inflexible switches
engineered primarily for backbone implementations. Instead, companies can deploy scaleable,
affordable Switch that increase the aggregate bandwidth of the network by boosting
throughput to the workgroups that need it most.

Hardware Description
This section describes the hardware features of the 16/24-port Ethernet Switching. For
easier management and control of the Switch, familiarize yourself with its display indicators,
and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before
connecting any network device to the Switch, read this chapter carefully.
Front Panel
The unit front panel provides a simple interface monitoring the Switch. It includes a power
indicator for each port.

LED Function Color Description
PWR Green Lit: Power on
LNK/ACT Green Lit: Indicates the adapter is connected to Switch
Flash: indicates data in or out the port
10/100 Green Lit: 100Mbps
Unlit: 10Mbps
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the 16/24-port Ethernet Switch indicates a AC inlet, which accepts 100-240VAC 50-60Hz
power input.

Hardware Installation
1. Place the 16/24 port Switch on a smooth surface
2. Connect the output of power cord to the AC-inlet of 16/24 port Switch.
3. Connect other IEEE802.3 compatible network device(Hub ,Switch ,PC) to one port of the
16/24 port Switch using Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP cabling.
4. Connect another IEEE802.3 compatible network device (Hub , Switch ,PC) to another port
of 16/24 port Switch by following the same process as described in Step3.
Notice
The cable distance between 16/24 port Switch and other IEEE802.3 compatible network device
should not exceed 100 meter.
Make sure the wiring is correct
It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps operation. To reliably operate your network at
100Mbps, you must use an Unshielded/Shielded Twisted-Pair (UTP/STP) Category 5 cable, or
better Data Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cable may initially seem to work, it will
soon cause data loss.
All kinds of IEEE802.3 compatible network device (Hub , Switch ,PC)can connect to
Switch by using straight-through wires or crossover wires because of Switch's auto MDIX
function.

Hardware Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If the 16/24 port Switch is
not functioning properly, make sure the 16/24 port Switch was set up according to
instructions in this manual.
1. The Power LED is not lit
Solution:
a. Check if the AC power cord is well connected. Try to unplug and plug back the power
cord to the LAN Switch or try another power cord.
b. Check if theAC power source is in good condition.
2. The Link LED is not lit
Solution:
a. Make sure the Switch configuration is consistent with the connecting device
b. Check the cable connections.
c. Make sure the cable distance between 16/24 port Switch and other IEEE802.3
compatible network device should not exceed 100 meter.
3. Performance is bad
Solution:
a. Check the full duplex status of the Ethernet Switching. If the Ethernet Switching is set
to full duplex and the partner is set to half duplex, then the performance will be poor.
b. Make sure the cable between the switch and other IEEE802.3 compatible network
device is Category 5 UTP at 100Mbps operation.
4. Some stations can not talk to other stations located on the other port
Solution:
a. Check status of the LNK LED to make sure the link is correct.
b. Make sure that the workstation's network configuration is correct, modify the network
configuration of workstation if need.
c. Please reset the switch if need.
