product may cause radio interference in which case the user
may be required to take adequate measures.
VCCI Warning
This is a product of VCCI Class A Compliance.

UL Warning
a) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature-If installed in a
closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the
manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
b) Reduced Air Flow-Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
c) Mechanical Loading-Mounting of the equipment in the rack
should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due
to uneven mechanical loading.
d) Circuit Overloading-Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supplycircuit and the effect
that overloading of circuits might have on over current
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
e) Reliable Earthing-Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct connections to
the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

INTRODUCTION
This section describes the features of the Switch, as well as
providing some basic information about Gigabit Ethernet and
switching technology.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing
the same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD
protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but
with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10Mbps
Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10Mbps and 100Mbps
Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a
straightforward upgrade without wasting a company’s existing
investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit
Ethernet is essential to coping with the network bottlenecks
that frequently develop as computers and their busses get
faster and more users use applications that generate more
traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and
servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network
response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic
between your subnets.

Gigabit Ethernet supports video conferencing, complex imaging,
and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data
transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers
outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10
times the number of operations in the same amount of time.
Switching Technology
Another key development pushing the limits of Ethernet
technology is in the field of switching technology. A switch
bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the
Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or
fast Ethernet LAN segments.
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network
capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch
increases capacity and decreases network loading by making it
possible for a local area network to be divided into different
segments which don’t compete with each other for network
transmission capacity, giving a decreased load on each.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the
individual segments. The switch automatically forwards traffic
that needs to go from one segment to another, without
interfering with any other segments. This allows the total
network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the
same network cabling and adapter cards.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the
previous generation of network bridges, which were

5
characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used
to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router and the
setup and maintenance required make routers relatively
impractical. Today’s switches are an ideal solution to most
kinds of local area network congestion problems.

UNPACKING AND SETUP
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the
Switch.
Unpacking
Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its
contents. The carton should contain the following items:
? ?One 24-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch
? ?Accessory pack: 2 mounting brackets and screws
? ?Four rubber feet with adhesive backing
? ?One AC power cord
? ?This User’s Guide
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your
local reseller for replacement.
Setup
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following
steps:
? ?The surface must support at least 5 Kg (11 lbs.).
? ?The power outletshould be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the
device.

7
? ?Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully
secured to the AC power connector.
? ?Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and
adequate ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy
objects on the Switch.
Desktop Installation
When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber
feet included with the device must be first attached. Attach
these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the
device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and
the objects around it.

Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Switch consists of an AC power
connector and the power switch. The following shows the rear
panel of the Switch.

? ?AC Power Connector This is a three-pronged connector
that supports the power cord. Plug in the female connector
of the provided power cord into this connector, and the
male into a power outlet. Supported input voltages range
from 100 ~ 240 VAC at 50 ~ 60 Hz.

11
LED Indicators
The LED indicators of the Switch include Power, Link/Act,
1000Mbps and 100Mbps. The following shows the LED
indicators for the Switch along with an explanation of each
indicator.
The Switch LED indicators
Per unit:
? ?Power This indicator lights green when the Switch is
receiving power, otherwise, it is off.
Per port:
? ?Link/ACT This indicator lights green when the port is
connected to a Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or Ethernet
device. If the indicator is blinking green, the port is
receiving data.
? ?1000Mbps This LED indicator lights green when the port
is connected to a 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet device.
? ?100Mbps. This LED indicator light green when the port is
connected to a 100MbpsFastEthernet device.
Note: If the Link/ACT LED indicator lights green and both the 1000Mbps
and 100Mbps LED indicators are off, the port is connecting to 10Mbps
Ethernet device.
