Installing the Switch on a Desktop
The AT-FS705PD switch can be used on a desktop or mounted on a wall. To
wall-mount the switch, refer to “Wall-Mounting the Switch” on page 17.
To install an AT-FS705PD switch on a desktop, perform the following
procedure:
1. Remove all equipment from the package and store the packaging material
in a safe location.
2. If you are installing the switch on a desktop, attach the four protective
feet to the bottom on the unit. See Figure 5.
Note
Do not attach the protective feet if you are wall-mounting the switch.
Figure 5 Attaching the Protective Feet
3. Place the switch on a flat, secure surface (such as a desk or table) leaving
ample space around the unit for ventilation.
4. Connect the twisted pair cables to the twisted pair ports.
When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the following
guidelines:
❑
An RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the converter.
The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
❑
You should check to be sure that you are using the appropriate type of
twisted pair cabling. Refer to Table 3 on page 12 for twisted pair cable
specifications.
❑
Since the twisted pair port, when operating in Auto-Negotiation, is
Auto MDI/MDI-X, you can use either a straight-through or crossover
twisted pair cable to connect any type of network device to a port on
the converter. If you disable Auto-Negotiation on the port, the port
defaults to MDI-X.
