Start up

Please refer to the following for your cabling:

10/100BASE-TX

All 10/100BASE-TX ports come with auto-negotiation capability. They automatically

support 10/100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks. Users only need to plug a

working network device into one of the 10/100BASE-TX ports, and then turn on

the FSD-808P. The port will automatically run at 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or

200Mbps after negotiating with the connected device.

Cabling

Each 10/100BASE-TX port uses RJ45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for

connection to unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3 / 802.3u Fast

Ethernet standard requires Category 5, 5e UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T

networks can use Cat. 3, 4 and 5 (see table below). Maximum distance is 100

meters (328 feet).

Port Type

10BASE-T

100BASE-TX

Any Ethernet devices like hubs/PCs can connect to the FSD-808P by using straight-

through wires. The eight 10/100Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X, which can be

used on straight-through or crossover cable.

To install the Switch on desktop, simply follow the following steps:

Step 1 Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch

as shown in Figure 3-1.
