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. With the Jumbo frame
function, you can get better network performance, because the
switch can send more data at the same time.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and
also fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols.
Before you start to install the switch, check the following contents
in this package：
• One Gigabit Ethernet switch (RC-415 5 port gigabit switch/
RC-416 8 port gigabit switch)
• One power adapter
• User’s manual

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：
