Installation 
 
Operating Environment 
 
ƒ 
This switch must be installed and operated within the limits 
of the specified operating temperature and humidity (see the 
Specifications section) 
 
ƒ 
Do not place objects on top of the unit. Do not obstruct any 
vents on the unit 
 
ƒ 
Do not position the switch in direct exposure to the sun, or 
near any heat source such as a heater, radiator etc.  
 
ƒ 
Prevent water and moisture entering the unit. If necessary, 
use a dehumidifier to reduce humidity. 
 
 
Connecting network devices 
 
This switch features Auto MDI/MDI-X RJ-45 ports for easy 
connection to other network devices using straight-through type 
connecting cable. As a minimum, the network patch cables must 
at least comply with the Category 5 standard for 10 and 
100Mbps data transmission. 
 
1.  Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 port on 
the switch. Connect the other end to the RJ-45 port on the 
network device 
 
2.  Follow the same procedure to connect each of the RJ-45 
ports on the switch.  
 
 
3.  Please always be aware that the maximum length of any 
Ethernet segment is 100m. This can be achieved by using 
patch cables of no more then 5m length at both ends plus 
an installation cable in between for the remaining length. 
Using higher spec network cable can increase this to a 
certain extent. 
 
4.  Connect the power cable to the mains and to the power 
socket on the unit.  
 
 
Connecting to another network switch 
 
You can use any port to make a connection to another switch, 
with either straight or crossover cable, as all the ports support 
Auto MDI/MDI-X.   
 
 
Rack mounting the switch 
 
The switch can either be installed standalone or mounted in a 
19” rack. The switch is supplied with two rack mounting brackets 
and screws for this purpose. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Troubleshooting 
 
The power LED is not lit 
 
ƒ 
Check the power cable  is properly connected to both the 
mains outlet and the switch 
 
ƒ 
Make sure the power at the mains socket is switched on! 
 
The Link/Act LED is not lit when connected to a network 
device
 
 
ƒ 
Check the power cable and power switch of the device 
connected to the switch
. Make sure it is turned on! 
 
ƒ 
Check the network cable. Make sure it is properly 
connected to the switch and to the network device. The 
segment length has to be below 100 metres (see remark 
above) and all cables and connectors should be at least 
category 5 compliant.    
 
ƒ 
If this does not solve the problem try another port of the 
switch that works OK and also check if the other device 
works OK by attaching it to another properly working 
network switch 
 
ƒ 
If you experience any other problems with the switch please 
contact LINDY or your supplier.
