What This Product Does
Expand your home or office network with the D-Link® 16-Port 10/100 Desktop or
Rackmount Switch. This Switch lets you network up to sixteen 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, gaming console (such as Xbox 360), 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 power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the
power cord.
• 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.
Mounting
• You may mount the Switch on a rack with the included mounting brackets and
screws.
Connecting the Switch
Step 1
Plug the supplied power cord 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 in the device you want to connect to the
Switch and the other end into one of the Ethernet ports on the Switch. Check the
Link lights (LEDs) on both the Switch and the device to verify that there is a valid
connection.
Note: Connect devices via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or
Crossover Ethernet cable. A Category 5 (or higher) Ethernet cable must be used for
100Mbps operation.
