Introduction:

Congratulations on the purchase of this EZ-500 mini 5 port Switch. The EZ-500s

is affordable and small yet great for business and home uses. Plug & Play is

important these days. People are often confused about setting up their home or

business network so they rather have a unit that sets everything up for them.

Just plug the Ethernet cables from a source into the ports on the EZ-500s will

automatically obtain the IP address for you. There is no need to install any

software or no setup required. Every LAN port on the EZ-500s has an ‘Auto-

Uplink’ ability which means you can connect your existing router into any of the

five ports on the EZ-500s and it will connect and establish the connection

automatically. As simple as 1-2-3, the EZ-500s is the best solution whether if

you want to setup a LAN party or expand your existing home/business network

so you can have more computers linked together. Please read farther down for

more information on this great unit and thank you for choosing GigaFast.
