Instructions
Setup of the AN-100-SW-R is very simple and requires nothing more than connections
to other equipment and power. This switch provides automatic crossover detection
functionality for any port, so connections can be made to other switches without the need
for a crossover cable between devices.
Make all Ethernet connections using twisted-pair, 568B-terminated straight-through cables
manufactured and terminated to meet the Cat5e/6/+ standard in use for the installation.
Patch cables may be stranded. Bulk wire should be solid core to permit the longest run
possible. No cable length should be over 100 meters in total, containing a maximum of 10
meters of stranded patch cables. It is highly recommended to test every cable in use with
a network analyzer prior to finalizing the installation.
