Prepare to Install the Switch
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface such as a
table, desk or shelf. You can use wall-mounting screws (not provided) to hang the
switch in an open space on a wall.
Make sure the selected location is:
•
Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
•
Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear
space on all sides of the switch.
•
Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
Depending on the speed of your network devices, you need a Category 3 (10
Mbps), Category 5 (100 Mbps) or Category 5e (1000 Mbps) Ethernet cable with RJ-
45 connectors for each device you want to connect to the switch. Each Ethernet
cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).
Install the Switch and Connect the Other Devices
1.
Place the switch on a flat surface or hook onto the screws.
2.
For each device, insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the port in the device
and insert the other end into one of the Ethernet ports on the switch.
3.
Connect the power adapter cord into the back of the switch and then plug the
adapter into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).

1000 Mbps, both LEDs light up.
