Dynex DX-ESW5 and DX-ESW8 Ethernet Switches 3
Setting up the switch
To set up the switch:
1 Place the switch flat on a tabletop or use the enclosed screws to hang it ver-
tically on a wall. Be sure to leave enough space around the switch for good
ventilation.
2 Don’t place heavy objects on the switch.
3 Connect the AC power adapter to the switch, then plug the adapter into an
AC power outlet. The switch turns on and initializes by blinking the Link/Act
LEDs and turning on the Power LED.
4 Connect your network cables to the switch.
Identifying switch components
Although the following illustrations show the DX-ESW8, the DX-ESW5 is similar.
F RONT PANEL
The LED indicators on the front panel are used for monitoring and troubleshooting
the switch.
Power LED : This indicator turns on when the switch is plugged into an AC power
outlet. If the LED is not on, check the power adapter connections.
Link/Act LEDs : These indicators show link and activity status. The port’s LED indi-
cator turns green when a device is connected to that port. The indicator flashes
when data is being transmitted or received on the port.
R EAR P ANEL
The rear panel of the DX-ESW8 consists of eight 10/100 Mbps RJ- 45 ports. All
ports can be the uplink port, so you can disregard the
Uplink mark under Port 8.
