3.2 Part 2 —Start the Switch

In Part 2, this guide will show you how to connect the switch to a power
outlet, to your computer (with CNM installed), and to the network.

3.2.1 Step 1. Connect to the PC with CNM Installed

The switch can be managed through the ASUS CNM software that is running
on a Windows OS computer. Please refer to the CNM installation guide for
details. Before starting the CNM application, you have to connect the PC to
the same network as the switch is attached to.

3.2.2 Step 2. Connect to computers or a LAN

You can use Ethernet cable to connect computers directly to the switch
ports. You can also connect hubs/switches to the switch ports by Ethernet
cables. Note that both the crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable can
be used to connect computers, hubs or switches.

Note: Use twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the
1000BASE-T port. Otherwise, the link speed can not reach 1Gbps.
