Connecting To The Network; Power Over Ethernet (Poe) Considerations - Comtrend Corporation GS-7608 User Manual

3.1.2. Connecting to the Network

To connect your switch to the network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer, printer, network
storage, or other network devices.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet
ports of the switch. The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active.
3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device that you want to connect to the switch.
We strongly recommend using CAT-5E or better cable to connect network
devices. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed the
maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to
one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is
connected. This is normal behavior.
Switch ports will automatically adjust to the characteristics (MDI/MDI-X, speed,
duplex) of the device to which the switch is connected.

3.1.3. Power over Ethernet (PoE) Considerations

For PoE switch models, consider the following information:
Devices considered a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), can deliver a maximum of 30
Watts per PoE port.
