BOUT UIDE This user’s guide tells you how to install your 8-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch, how to connect it to your Gigabit Ethernet network. Terms For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms “Switch” (first letter upper case) to refer to the 8-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch, and “switch”...
NTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the 8-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch, as well as providing some background information about Gigabit Ethernet and switching technology. Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over...
Gigabit Ethernet supports video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time. Switching Technology Another key development pushing the limits of Ethernet technology is in the field of switching technology.
characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router and the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today’s switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The 8-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment...
NPACKING AND ETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One 8-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch Four rubber feet with adhesive backing One external power adapter This User’s Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your...

Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic source,vibration, dust,and direct sunlight. Leave at least 10cm of space at the left and right hand side of the Switch for ventilation. Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.
DENTIFYING XTERNAL OMPONENTS This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch Front Panel The front panel of the Switch consists of eight 1000BASE-T ports and LED indicators. Front panel view of the Switch 1000BASE-T Ports: Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports of 10/100/1000Mbps Auto- Negotiation interface.
Rear Panel The rear panel of the Switch consists of an DC power connector. The following figure shows the rear panel of the Switch. Rear panel view of the Switch DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Check the technical specification section for information about the AC power input voltage.

The Switch LED indicators POWER This indicator lights green when the Switch is receiving power, otherwise, it is off. Link/ACT These LED indicators are lighted up when there is a secure connection (or link) to the desired port. The LED indicators blinking whenever there is reception or transmission (i.e.
