Installing the Switch

This part describes how to install the Switch and make connections to it. Please read

the following instructions step by step. Besides, the Switch does not need software

installation. Install the Switch either on a desktop or a rack.

Pre-Installation Considerations

Before installing the Switch, make sure that the RS232 cable complies with cable

specification. Since the Switch is configured through the console port, the PC must be

equipped with the console interface as well.

Desktop Installation

Step 1

Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch. See Figure 1.

Figure 1 Attaching the Rubber Feet to the Bottom of the Switch

Step 2

Place the Switch on a desktop near an AC power source.

Step 3

Keep enough ventilation space for the Switch.

Note: Pleas check the environmental restrictions mentioned in specifications as you

are placing the Switch.

Step 4

Connect the Switch to network devices.

A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 24 RJ-45 ports

B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer servers,

workstations or routers, and so on.

Note: Connection to the Switch requires UTP CAT5 network cable with RJ-45 tips. For

more information, please see the cable specifications.

Rack Mounting

To rack-mount the Switch in any standard 19-inch rack, follow the instructions

described below.

Step 1

Place the Switch on a hard flat surface with the front panel faced towards your front

side

Step 2

Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the Switch with supplied screws attached to

the package. Figure 2 shows how to attach brackets to one side of the Switch.

Figure 2 Attaching the Brackets to the Switch (Front Panel Forward)

Caution: Please use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused

to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.

Step 3

Secure the brackets tightly.

Step 4

Follow the same steps to attach the other bracket to the opposite side.

Step 5

After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach

the brackets to any standard 19-inch rack as shown in Figure 3.

Step 6

Connect the Switch to network devices.

A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 24 RJ-45 ports

B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer servers,

workstations or routers, and so on.

Step 7

Supply power to the Switch

Connect one end of the power cable to the Switch.

Connect the other end to a standard wall outlet.

When the Switch receives power, the Power LED should show as solid green.

Powering on the Switch

Supply power to the Switch

A. Connect the AC power cord to the back of Switch.

B. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

C. Then the Switch will boot up automatically. When the Switch receives power, the

Power LED should show as solid green.

Uplinking the Switch

To uplink the Switch, connect one end of a Cat5 (or better) cable into 24 100BaseTX

ports, and then connect the other end of the cable into the peripheral device’s uplink

port.
