Belkin Docking Options

The Belkin Docking Ring

Belkin has designed the SOHO switches to link together with other

Belkin networking products through the docking ring on the side of the

module. The ring will fit into the mating ring of another Belkin network

product such as a gateway router, a wireless access point. Simply place

modules side by side and push them together.

The Belkin Wall Mount

Belkin provides an adapter that will allow the Switch to be mounted

to the wall.The adapter is available at belkin.com. To install the wall

mount follow these steps.

1. Use the wall mount as a template and mark the screw holes on

your wall with a pencil.

2. Drill holes in the wall and insert screw anchors (not included)

into the wall.

3. Insert screws into the anchors and turn them in just far enough that

when the wall mount is placed on the screws it will be snug but still

able to slide.

4. Snap the wall mount into the docking ring on the Belkin Switch.

5. Align the wall mount’s holes with the screw heads and push the wall

mount over screws. Slide the Belkin Switch and wall mount down

over the screw heads to secure it to the wall.

Connecting a Simple Network

Connecting multiple computers in your home or office via a network

switch lets you cooperate, collaborate, and make the most of your

hardware. You can share files and printers and even access the

Internet from every computer in your network.

While networking was once a complicated matter, Windows 95, 98

and later versions, along with hardware and software like Belkin

networking products have made networking very easy to do. The

following section of this manual will help you set up a simple

network in your home or office. If you are connecting to a larger

existing network, it is recommended that you consult your network

administrator (the person who originally set up the network) for

instruction on how to connect additional computers to the network.

Connecting three or more computers

To connect your network you will need a network switch or hub with

enough ports for the number of computers you intend to connect

immediately or in the near future. (The F5D5130-5 provides five ports

and the F5D5130-8 provides eight ports.) Although hubs and

switches perform the same function, they do so at different rates of

performance, efficiency, and speed.

While a hub transmits information to all PCs on your network, a

switch is a "Smart Hub" that features a store-and-forward function.

This function retains the originator’s IP address and transmits

information to the specified PC rather than over the entire network.

Less network traffic and the elimination of the time needed to process

information sent to unintended recipients means minimal data

collisions and data loss.

To connect your computers to the Belkin Switch, each computer must

be equipped with a network interface card/adapter such as an

internal PCI card (for desktop computers), a PC card (for notebook

computers), or a USB Ethernet adapter (an alternative to opening up

your PC; for USB-equipped computers only). Each computer connects

to the Belkin Switch via a CAT5 networking cable. You will need one

networking cable for each PC.

1. Be sure that the power to the Belkin Switch, your modem, and

all of your PCs has been turned OFF or disconnected from the

power supply.

2. Install the Network Cards into each PC (skip this step if this

is already done).

3. Connect each computer’s installed Network Card to the Network

Switch port using a straight through unshielded twisted pair (UTP)

Ethernet Cat5e patch cable (A3L850-XX-S) or for higher

performance use Belkin Cat6 patch cables (A3L980-XX-S).

4. Plug one end of the power-supply adapter into the power

socket found at the rear of the switch and the other end into

the power outlet.

5. If the LED power indicator is green, there is power going to the

switch.

6. Turn on the rest of your computers and let them boot up. After

your computers boot up, the LAN link lights on the front of the

Belkin Switch should be ON for each port to which a computer is

attached.Verify that your computers are connected by checking

these lights.
