• Copper Ports Cable Installation
⇒ The switch copper ports support MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover. This enables use of
either straight-through or crossover Cat 5E cables.
⇒ Use Cat. 5 grade RJ-45 copper cables to connect to the copper RJ-45 ports.
⇒ Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each RJ-45 port to be connected.
• Power On
The switch supports 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply. The power supply
will automatically convert the local AC power source to DC power. When initial
power is applied, all the LED indicators will light up for a brief period while the
system performs its startup tests. Once the initial tests (‘POST test’) have
completed all except the power LED should return to an off state.
• Firmware Loading
After power on, the boot-loader will load the switch firmware into the main
operational memory. This process will take about 30 seconds. Once completed, the
switch will flash all the LED’s once switch to a ready state.
2-1-2. Cabling Requirements
To help ensure a successful installation and keep network performance at its
optimum level, please take care in using correct Cat5E or greater cabling. Please
ensure that Stranded core runs for no more than 10 meters, and that solid core runs
for a maximum of 100meters. Poor cabling is the most common cause for network
dropouts, or poor performance.
