Installing the Switch on a Table or Desktop
To install the switch on a table or desktop, perform the following
procedure:
1. Remove all the items from the packaging and store the packaging
material in a safe place. In the event a problem occurs and you need to
return the unit, please use as much of the original shipping material as
possible.
2. Attach the four self-adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the switch, as
shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Attaching the Rubber Feet
3. Place the switch on a flat and secure surface, leaving ample space
around the switch for ventilation.
4. Connected the twisted pair cables to the twisted pair ports.
When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the following
guidelines:
ˆ An RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the switch.
The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
ˆ Check that you are using the appropriate type of twisted pair
cabling. Refer to “Twisted Pair Cabling and Distances” on page 25
for twisted pair cable specifications.
ˆ Since the twisted pair port, when operating in Auto-Negotiation, is
Auto MDI/MDI-X, you can use either a straight-through or
crossover twisted pair cable to connect any type of network device
to a port on the switch. If you disable Auto-Negotiation on the port,
the port defaults to MDI-X.
5. Apply power to the switch by plugging the AC/DC power adapter into
an AC power outlet, the plug the DC connector to the power receptacle
of the switch.
