6. Installing the Switch
This part describes how to install your Fast Ethernet Switch
and make connections to it. Please read the following topics
and perform the procedures in the order being presented.
Note
This Fast Ethernet Switch does not need
software configuration.
Desktop Installation
To install the Fast Ethernet Switch on desktop, simply follow
the following steps:
Step 1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on
the bottom of the Fast Ethernet Switch.
Step 2: Place the Fast Ethernet Switch on desktop near an
AC power source.
Step 3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Fast
Ethernet Switch and the surrounding objects.
Per 10/100Mbps Port
LED Color Function
LNK / ACT Green
Lights to indicate the link through that
port is established successfully.
Blinks to indicate that the Switch is
actively sending or receiving data over
that port.
100Mbps Green
Lights to indicate the port is runing at
100Mbps.
Lights off to indicate that the port is
operating at 10Mbps.

Power
Note
1. The device is a power-required device,
meaning, it will not work till it is powered. If
your networks should be active all the time,
please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted
Power Supply) for your device. It will
prevent you from network data loss or
network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect your Fast
Ethernet Switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch
or the power adapter.
Step 4: Connect your Fast Ethernet Switch to network
devices.
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to
the 10/100 RJ45 ports on the front of the Fast
Ethernet Switch.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network
devices such as printer servers, workstations or
routers, etc.
Step 5: Supply power to the Fast Ethernet Switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the Fast
Ethernet Switch.
B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a
standard wall outlet.
When the Fast Ethernet Switch receives power, the Power
LED should remain solid Green.
