Mounting and connecting the LANCOM switch
Installing the LANCOM switch involves the following steps:
→ Mounting – The device is designed for mounting in an available 19" unit
in a server cabinet. Make use of the supplied mounting brackets for 19"
cabinets. If necessary fix the rubber pads to the underside of the device
to prevent any scratching to other equipment.
Ensure that the device has sufficient ventilation to prevent damage from
!
excessive heat build-up.
→ LAN connection – Connect the network devices to the ports of the
LANCOM switch by means of a suitable twisted-pair cable (TP cable).
The connectors automatically detect the available data transfer speeds
and the pin assignment (autosensing).
Use only standard TP cables of category CAT 5 or better with a maximum
length of 100 m to ensure the best possible data transfer. Crossover cables
can be used thanks to the auto-sensing function.
→ Supply power – Supply power to the device by means of the IEC power
cable and/or an external power supply unit (model dependent).
→ Ready for operation? – After a brief self-test, the power or system LED
lights up continuously. Green Link / Act LEDs show which LAN connectors
are used for a connection.
