Terms For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms "Switch" (first letter upper case) to refer to the 16-Port 10/100/100Mbps Copper Gigabit Ethernet Switch, and "switch" (first letter lower case) to refer to all Ethernet switches, including the 16-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Overview of this User's Guide Introduction. Describes the Switch and its features. Unpacking and Setup. Helps you get started with the basic installation of the Switch. [. . . ] Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router and the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today's switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The 16-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Copper Gigabit Ethernet Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously. 16 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports ??Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDIX for each port ??Supports Full/half duplex transfer mode for 10Mbps and 100Mbps ??Supports Full duplex transfer mode for 1000Mbps ??Wire speed reception and transmission ??Extensive front-panel diagnostic LEDs ??IEEE 802. 3x flow control for full duplex mode 5 UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: ?One 16-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch ?Accessory pack: 2 mounting brackets and screws ?Four rubber feet with adhesive backing ?This User's Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Setup The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps: ?The surface must support at least 5 Kg (11 lbs. ). The power outlet should be within 1. 82 meters (6 feet) of the device. 6 ?Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to the AC power connector. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. Desktop Installation When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device must be first attached. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. [. . . ] This indicator lights green when the port is connected to a Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or Ethernet device. If the indicator is blinking green, the port is receiving data. This LED indicator lights green when the port is connected to a 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet device. This LED indicator lights green when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet device. [. . . ]
