Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com Multi-port 10/100 Desktop Ethernet
Switch. Providing 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation, all ports support auto MDI/MDIX
functions, eliminating the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Featuring plug
and play functionality, the hub offers a practical and cost-effective way to upgrade
existing networks to 100Mbps standard or bridge 10BaseT and 100BaseTX net-
works.
• All RJ-45 ports support 10BaseT/100BaseTX and Full-Duplex/Half-Duplex Auto-
negotiation function
• Auto MDIX (crossover) function provides automatic crossover when cascading
switches or hubs - crossover cables or special uplink ports are no longer
required
• Complies with IEEE 802.3 10BaseT Ethernet and 802.3u 100BaseTX Fast
Ethernetstandards
• IEEE 802.3x compliant flow control for full duplex and backpressure for half-
duplex
This Fast Ethernet switch can be connected to PC computers with Ethernet net-
working cards, or other compatible switches, hubs, or servers.
Note: For each device you want to attach to the switch, you will need a Category 5
Ethernet UTP patch cable. StarTech.com offers a wide range of these cables in
various lengths and colors to suit your network needs. StarTech.com also carries a
wide range of Ethernet cards for both PC and notebook computers. For more
information on available cables and accessories, please see Accessory Products
from StarTech.com on page 5.

Installation
and usage
This section will guide you through the installation of your Fast Ethernet switch.
Please read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the order
listed.

Available ports
Please note: all RJ45 ports
can be used as the Uplink port.
Please note that the following instructions describe how to mount your new
Ethernet Switch on a wall. If you do not wish to perform this step, please skip to
step 5.
1. Place the Switch on a flat table or, if you wish to mount the Switch, the
StarTech.com Fast Ethernet switch has two wallmount sockets that allow it to be
hung from most walls. To mount the switch, you will need a drill, a screwdriver,
two #6 wood screws and their corresponding wall plugs.
2. Carefully measure the distance between the centers of the two screw-holes on
the back of the switch. Mark the location of the screw-holes on your wall,
making sure your marks are straight and even.
3. Drill the holes in the wall and insert the plastic wall plugs.
4. Insert the screws into the wall plugs so that there is a gap of about 2 mm (about
1/10 of an inch) between the head of the screw and the wall.
5. Place the Fast Ethernet switch so that the wide end of the mounting sockets are

over the screwheads. Slide the case downward so that the screwheads slide into
the narrow slots.
6. Connect one end of your network cable to an open port on the rear panel of the
switch.
7. Plug the other end of the cable into the RJ-45 port on your network device.
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for any other devices you want to connect.
9. Plug one end of the the power adapter into an open outlet and plug the other
end into the DC connector on the side panel of the device. The Power LED on
the front of the switch should now be lit.
10. Once the Switch is powered on, it will be automatically initialized, and all
Link/Act LEDs will flash momentarily, indicating that the system has been reset.

The LED indicators are used for monitoring and troubleshooting of the Switch:
Power LED: This indicator will light up when the Switch powers up. If the LED is
not lit, please check the power adapter and connection.
LINK/ACT LEDs: These LEDs indicate Link/Active status. One LED indicator will
light green when a device is connected to the corresponding port. It flashes when
data is being transmitted or received on the connection.
