Step 2 – Switch Installation
For safe switch installation and operation, it is recommended that you:
- Visually inspect the power cord to see that it is secured fully to the AC power connector.
- Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the switch.
- Don’t place heavy objects on the switch.
Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device must be attached on the bottom at each corner of the device’s base. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it.
Rack Installation
The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment.
1. Attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided.
2. Use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the switch in the rack.
Grounding the Switch
This section describes how to connect the switch to the ground. You must complete this procedure before powering on your switch.
Required tools and equipment:
- One M4 x 6 mm (metric) pan-head screw (included in the mounting kit).
- Grounding cable (not included in the mouting kit): The grounding cable should be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for installation. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the cable depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities.
- A screwdriver (not included in the mounting kit).
You can connect the switch to a protective ground by following the steps below:
- Verify if the system power is off.
- Place the terminal lug ring of the grounding cable on top of the ground-screw opening, insert the grounding screw into it and tighten the screw with a screwdriver.
- Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding stud or bolt on rack where the switch is installed.
- Verify if the connections at the ground connector on the switch and the rack are securely attached.
Step 3 – Plugging in the AC Power Cord
You can connect the AC power cord into the rear of the switch and to an electrical outlet (preferably one that is grounded and surge protected).
Power Failure
As a precaution, the switch should be unplugged in case of power failure. When power is resumed, plug the switch back in.
Step 4 – Configuring the Switch Operating Mode
The switch has two DIP switches which allow to use two additional operating modes: Isolation and Extended.
Standard mode (both DIP switches are OFF): all ports can communicate with each other and work as a common Unmanaged Switch.
Isolation mode: 1 to 16 port can’t communicate with each other, but each of them can communicate with port 17 and 18.
Extended mode: the data rate of 1 to 8 port is limited to 10 Mbps, whereas the maximum transmission distance of the port is increased to 250 meters.
