[. . . ] Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. CE Mark Warning This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. VCCI Warning This is a product of VCCI Class A Compliance. UL Warning a) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature-If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra). [. . . ] A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by making it possible for a local area network to be divided into different segments which don't compete with each other for network transmission capacity, giving a decreased load on each. The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. Traffic that needs to go from one segment to another is automatically forwarded by the switch, without interfering with any other segments. This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards. Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which were 4 characterized by higher latencies. 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. 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. 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 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. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it. Installing The Switch on Desktop 7 Rack Installation The Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the sides of the Switch and secure them with the screws provided. Attaching the mounting brackets to the Switch Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the Switch in the rack. Installing the Switch in an equipment rack 8 IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch Front Panel The front panel of the Switch consists of sixteen 10/100/100Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports and LED indicators. 16-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch 1 3 5 7 9 11 1 3 15 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 3 14 15 16 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 LCD Indicators 1000 BASE-T Ports Front panel view of the Switch ?
