Users can immediately use any of the features of this product simply by attaching the cables and turning on the power. 3.1 To locate the switch on a desktop Attach the Four (4) rubber feet included in the product package to the bottom of the Switch, one in each corner.
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS 4.1 Prior to Installation Before installing the Switch and connecting network devices, it is important to plan the network's layout. Things you should consider include: Dedicated Bandwidth: File servers and other high-traffic hardware improve their performance if they have their own dedicated 10Mbps or 100Mbps bandwidth.
(attached) device is capable of. Evaluating Auto-Negotiation Capability: If attached device is: The Switch will automatically set its TP ports to operate at: 100Mbps,no 100Mbps (100BASE-TX, Half-Duplex) Auto-Negotiation 100Mbps,with 200Mbps (100BASE-TX, Full-Duplex) Auto-Negotiation 10Mbps,no Auto-Negotiation 10Mbps (10BASE-T, Half-Duplex) 10Mbps,with 20Mbps (10BASE-T, Full-Duplex) Auto-Negotiation Note: If the attached device is set to a fixed mode (ex: Forced Full-Duplex) it will not operate as an Auto-Negotiation device.
SMART FUNCTION SETTINGS 5.1 Start Smart Function The Switch has a smart function that you can use to manage your local area network (LAN ) more effectively.
