This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio 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 all ports capable of 10, 100
or 1000Mbps 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 with no pain. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switch delivers a
dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion issue.
This switch also supports auto MDI / MDI-X function. Each port could be used to connect to another
switch or hub with no 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.
The switch provides 9K bytes jumbo frames, which means the frames size is larger than normal 1.5K.
With the Jumbo frame function, you can get better network performance, because the switch can
send more data at the same time with lower CPU usage.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of
network protocols.

Stations 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.
For cable selection, refer to the following table.
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：
