sunlight. 
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for 
ventilation. 
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, 
or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. 
For information on rack 
installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting
.
When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to 
the bottom of each device. 
The rubber feet cushion the hub and 
protect the hub case from scratching.

Rack Mounting 
The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, 
which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. 
Attach 
the mounting brackets at the switch’s front panel (one on each side), 
and secure them with the provided screws.

Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each 
switch in the rack.

Connecting Network Cable 
The Switch supports 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet that runs in Auto-
negotiation mode and 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet that 
runs both in half and full duplex mode and 1000Mbps Gigabit 
Ethernet runs in full duplex mode using four pair of Category 5 Cable. 
These RJ-45 ports are Auto-MDI type port. The Switch can auto 
transform to MDI-II or MDI-X type, so you can just make an easy 
connection that without worrying if you are using a standard or 
crossover RJ45 cable.

AC Power 
The Switch used the AC power supply 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz. The 
power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC 
power connector and the system fan. The switch’s power supply will 
adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on 
without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.

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 panels of the Switch. 
Figure 4. Front panel of 24-port Gigabit Smart Switch 
LED Indicator: 
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and 
the network (see the LED Indicators chapter below). 
Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Port 1~24): 
The Switch sixteen Gigabit twisted pair ports, supported auto negotiable 
10/100/1000Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection function, this 
function gives true “plug and play” capability, just need to plug-in the 
network cable to the hub directly and don’t care if the end node is NIC 
(Network Interface Card) or switch and hub.
These ports can operate in 
half-duplex 
mode 
for 
10/100Mbps 
and 
full- 
duplex 
mode 
for 
10/100/1000Mbps. 
Mini GBIC Ports 
The Switch is equipped with two Mini GBIC ports, supported optional 
1000BASE-SX/LX Mini GBIC module. 
Note: When the port was set to “Forced Mode”, the Auto 
MDI/MDIX will be disabled.

AC Power Connector: 
This is a three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug 
in the female connector of the provided power cord into this connector, 
and the male into a power outlet. Supported input voltages range from 
100-240V AC at 50-60Hz. 
Reset: 
The Reset button is to reset all the setting back to the factory default. 
Note: Be sure that you recorded the setting of your device, else all 
the setting will be erased when pressing the “Reset” button.
