What This Product Does
Expand your home or office network with the D-Link® 24-Port 10/100 Mbps Unmanaged Switch. This
Switch lets you network up to 24 devices at speeds up to 200Mbps (at full duplex) and is compact enough
to be placed virtually anywhere in your home or office. Add a computer, printer, NAS storage device, or
network camera and expand the functionality of your network. You may also connect the Switch to hubs,
switches, and routers to expand your network.
Before You Begin
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps:
• Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.
• Do not cover the ventilation holes on the sides of the Switch, and make sure there is adequate
ventilation around it.
• Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
• Place the Switch in a cool and dry environment.
Connecting the Switch
Step 1
Plug the supplied power adapter into the Switch and the other end into a power outlet, power strip,
or surge protector (recommended). Verify the Power indicator is lit on the Switch.
Step 2
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the device you want to connect to the Switch, and the other
end to one of the Ethernet ports on the Switch. Check the Link lights (LEDs) on both the Switch and
the device to verify that the cable is good and that there is a working connection
Note: A Category 5 (or higher) Ethernet cable must be used for 100Mbps or higher operation.
