Introduction
Easily boost your networking throughput, this switch provides you 16
10/100/1000 Mbps gigabit ports that lead you to a real gigabit connection.
Users are now able to transfer large and high bandwidth-needed files
faster and hence get a real efficiency improvement.
The store-and-forward architecture filters errors and forwards packets in a
non-blocking environment. Flow control ensures the correctness of data
transmitting. The 802.3x and backpressure flow control mechanisms work
respectively for full and half duplex modes.
The switch features with easy installation and maintenance. It supports
NWay auto-negotiation protocol, which detects the networking speed and
the duplex modes automatically.Auto-MDI/MDI-X function alleviates the
effort to use crossover cables. Users need not to prepare crossover
cables for equipment connectivity. It also supports IEEE 802.3az Energy
Efficient Ethernet to promise the operation in Low Power Idle Mode and
save power consumption.

Power Receptacle
To be compatible with the electric service standards around the world, the
switch is designed to afford the power supply in the range from 100 to
240VAC, 50/60Hz. Please make sure that your outlet standard to be
within this range.
To power on the switch, plug the female end of the power cord firmly into
the receptacle of the switch and the other end into an electric service
outlet. After the power cord installation, please check if the power LED is
illuminated for a normal power status.

Installation
This switch can be mount in the rack or mount on the wall. You can
choose the suitable one to install your device.
Before installing the switch, we strongly recommend:
The switch is placed with appropriate ventilation environment. A minimum
25mm space around the unit is recommended.
1. The switch and the relevant components are away from sources of
electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband
amplifiers.
2. The switch is away from environments beyond recommend moisture.
Wall mount Installation
1. Screw the two provided screws into the wall 150 mm apart
horizontally. Leave a small gap between the head of the screw and
the wall. The gap should be big enough for the screw heads to slide
into the screw slots and the connection cables to run down the back
of the switch.
2. Align the holes on the back of the switch with the screws on the wall.
Hang the switch on the screws.
Warning!
Do not wall mount the product vertically or it will be dangerous. Please
attach the product on the wall horizontally! See the image below for
reference:
Rack-mount Installation
Procedures to rack-mount the switch in the rack:
1. First disconnect all the cables from the switch.
2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front
facing you.
3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of
the unit.
4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.
5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.

6. Insert the unit into the rack with suitable screws
7. Reconnect all the cables.
Network Cables
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.
1. Crossover or straight-through cable: All the ports on the switch
support Auto-MDI/MDI-X functionality. Both straight-through or
crossover cables can be used to connect the switch with PCs as well
as other devices like switches, hubs or router.
2. Category 3, 4, 5, 5e or 6 UTP/STP cable:To make a valid
connection and obtain the optimal performance, appropriate cables
corresponding to different transmitting/receiving speed is required. To
choose a suitable cable, please refer to the following table.
