frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received; including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
CE Mark Warning

Introduction
The device is a powerful, high-performance Gigabit
Ethernet switch, with 8 ports capable of 10/100/1000
Mbps auto-negotiation operation (NWay), which means
the switch could automatically negotiate with the
connected partners on the network speed and duplex
mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into
smaller, connected subnets for improved performance,
enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and
imaging applications. Moreover, the 10/100/1000Mbps
auto-sensing ability provides an easy way to migrate
10/100Mbps to 1000Mbps network. Compared to the
shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switch delivers
a dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps connection to every
attached client without bandwidth congestion issue. This
switch also supports auto MDI/ MDI-X function. Each port
could be used to connect to another switch or hub without
crossover RJ-45 cable.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low
latency plus eliminates all the network errors, including
runt and CRC error packets. To work under full-duplex
mode, transmission and reception of the frames can
occur simultaneously without causing collisions as well as
double the network bandwidth. Moreover, IEEE 802.3az
Energy Efficient Ethernet is supported to save power
consumption
The switch is plug and play without any software to
configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of
network protocols.

LEDs Definition
The switch contains one power LED for the device,
Link/Act LED for each port that shows the activities and
information of the ports.
Please refer to the following table for LEDs definition:
LED Status Operation
Power Steady Green The switch is powered on
Off The switch is powered off
Link/ ACT
Steady Green Valid port connection
Blinking Green
Valid port connection and
there is data transmitting/
receiving
Off Port disconnected
Loop Blinking Red Loop is detected
Off Loop is not detected

Station Connection
Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable.
Plug one RJ-45 connector into a RJ-45 port of the switch,
and plug the other RJ-45 connector into the station’s
network adapter. Power on the switch and then system is
ready.
Switches Connection
In making a switch interconnection, you could use any
port to connect another switch with straight or crossover
cable. As all the ports support auto MDI / MDI-X function,
using a straight cable to make a switch-to-switch
connection is allowed.
For cable selection, refer to the following table烉
Network Speed Cable Type Max. Length
10Mbps Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
100Mbps Cat. 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
1000Mbps Category 5e, 6
UTP/STP 100 meters
[Note] To make this switch perform well, we strongly
recommend below installation environment:
1. The switch is placed with appropriate ventilation
environment. A minimum 25mm space around the unit is
recommended.
2. The switch and the relevant components are away from
sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and
broadband amplifiers.
3. The switch is away from environments beyond
recommend moisture.
