Page 9: Unpacking And Installation
Switch. Unpacking Open the box containing the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One 8-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch with 4 PoE Ports One AC power adapter Four rubber feet User’s Guide If an item is found to be missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for a replacement. -
Page 10: Connecting Network Cable
Connecting Network Cable The Switch supports 8 10/100M Ethernet ports with ports 1 through 4 supporting PoE. These PoE ports will automatically activate when a compatible terminal is connected, and the Switch will supply power through the Ethernet port to the connected PoE powered device (PD). For the Legacy devices that are not compatible with PoE, the PoE port will not supply power to the port. -
Page 11: Identifying External Components
IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED indicators of the Switch. Front Panel The figure below shows the front panel of the Switch. Figure 1. Front panel Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network (see the Understanding LED Indicators section below). - Page 12 These ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full- duplex transfer modes. These ports also support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection which provides true “plug and play” capability. Ethernet Ports (Port 5-8): These ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full-duplex transfer modes.

UNDERSTANDING LED INDICATORS The front panel LEDs provide instant status feedback, and helps monitor and troubleshoot when needed. Figure 3. LED indicators of the Switch System LED Power: (Power Indicator) The Switch is receiving power. Off: The Switch is not receiving power. PoE status LEDs (Port 1 - Port 4) PoE Status: Green: A PoE powered device (PD) is connected to the port and... -

PoE MAX: On: The system has less than 7.5W of power remaining to power PoE devices. If this LED is on, the system will not provide power to any additional PoE devices connected to the Switch. Off: The system has more than 7.5W of power remaining to power PoE devices. - Page 15 Example: If there are PoE devices connected to the Switch with a total power consumption of 25 watts, the Switch only has 5 watts remaining as a buffer, and the PoE MAX LED will light up. If another POE PD inserted, the system will not provide power to the additional POE PD.
