from computer equipment.
The equipment introduced in this manual has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A 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 is required
to correct the interference at his/her own expense.

Installation
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the Signamax065-
7030Q 16-Port QoS Switch where it will not be subjected to
extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference.
Specifically, the site you select should meet the following
requirements:
-The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104
degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).
-The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent,
non-condensing.
-Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the
electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2
(3V/M) field strength.
-Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation.
Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the switch or
the fan exhaust port on the side or rear of the equipment.
-The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the switch.

Deciding How to Install
DESKTOP OR ANY FLAT SURFACE
The Signamax065-7030Q 16-Port QoS switch can sit on desktop
or any flat surface with adequate space and ventilation. If you want
to place it onto a shelf, make sure the shelf can withstand the
weight of the switch.
Step 1: Simply put the switchon the desired place.
Step 2: Ensure the switch receives good ventilation.
Step 3: Proceed to the “Connecting to Power” section.
Connecting to Power
Locate the supplied AC power cord.
Step 1:Connect the AC power cord to the receptacle at the back of the
switch.
Step 2:Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from
100~260V AC.
Step 3:Locate the power ON/OFF switch beside the receptacle at the
back.
Turn on the switch by flipping the ON/OFF switch to ON position.
The power LED on the front panel will come on then.

Connecting to Your Network
CABLING
Step 1: First, ensure the power of the switch and end devices is turned off.
iIt may cause an electric shock and possible harm to you if the power is
not switched off.
Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port
in use.
Consult the table below for cabling requirements based on
connectors and speed considerations.
Step 3: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a
desired device.
Step 4: Once the connections between two end devices are made
successfully, turn on the power and the switch is operational.

Appendix B –Introduction to LAN
& Ethernet Technologies
As communication and business applications become increasingly
complex, computer networking has evolved as a very important
part of the infrastructure.
Communication systems like Local Area Network (LAN) evolved
into sophisticated, powerful, yet flexible technology. Among the
different types of LAN technologies, Ethernet represents the best in
speed, cost, ease of installation, and supportability.
LAN
Local Area Network (LAN) technology gives personal computers
the power to share resources of hardware and software. LAN
connects personal computers, file servers, printers, etc. together
within a geographical area, usually a single building. Multiple,
widely dispersed LAN systems are referred to as a Wide Area
Network (WAN).

Signamax065-7030Q 16-Port QoS Switch
18 User’s Manual
Ethernet Technologies
More than 80 percent of all LANs utilize Ethernet technology. The
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standardized
Ethernet in IEEE 802.3, which provides for configuration rules,
interaction requirements, types of media, and data rate.
FAST ETHERNET
For networks that need higher transmission speed, a faster speed
was developed and IEEE next established IEEE 802.3u, raising the
Ethernet speed from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps. Thus, Fast Ethernet
arose and users quickly began converting from 10Mbps to
100Mbps.
GIGABIT ETHERNET
The demand for even higher speed created the Gigabit Ethernet at
1000Mbps (or 1Gbps). The newer IEEE standards for Gigabit
Ethernet are IEEE 802.3z and 802.3ab. Watch for 10 Gigabit
Ethernet.
