Wire the power inputs
You can use either an external power adapter or the terminal block to power the
network switch. Alternatively, you can connect both an external power adapter and
the terminal block to create a redundant power input.
You should use wire ranging in size of 12 to 24 AWG.
Caution! Make sure that you ground the enclosure before you install the terminal
block connector into the network switch.
1. Insert the grounding wire into the Ground port on the terminal block, and tighten
the wire clamp screws.
2. Insert the positive DC power wire into the V+ port on the terminal block connector,
and tighten the wire clamp screws.
3. Insert the negative DC power wire into the V- port on the terminal block connector,
and tighten the wire clamp screws.
4. Insert the terminal block connector into the 3-pin terminal block on the network
switch.
Reboot the network switch
The Reset button on the network switch is designed to reboot the network switch
without turning o and turning on the power.
• To reboot the network switch, press the Reset button.
Reset to the default factory settings
You can use the Reset button to reset the network switch to the following default
factory settings:
Default user name: admin
Default password: admin
Default IP address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.254
• To reset to the default factory settings, press and hold the Reset button for more
than 5 seconds.
When you press the Reset button, the port LED indicators illuminate. When the LEDs
are no longer illuminated, the reset sequence is complete.

Installation
Install the network switch onto a wall
The mounting holes on the network switch are 8 mm in diameter, and the distance
between the two holes is 133 mm.
1. Hold the network switch against the wall in the area that you want to install it, and
use a pencil to trace the location of the four mounting holes onto the wall.
2. Use the mounting holes that you traced on the wall as a template and drill holes in
the wall.
3. Insert the four screw anchors into the holes.
Note: Make sure that the screw anchors are ush against the wall.
4. Place the network switch against the wall and insert the four screws through the
mounting holes on the switch and into the screw anchors. (gure 1)
5. Tighten the screws.
6. To power the switch, connect an external power adapter, wire the power inputs, or
do both.
7. Connect RJ45 cables to the RJ45 ports on the network switch.
