1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 8 Port Desk-top Giga Ethernet Switch.
1.1. Product Overview
The 8 Port Desk-top Giga Ethernet Switch provides non-blocking, wire speed switching for
your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients. Drop this switch in place of your current work
group hub or switch, and you can upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit
speeds as necessary, while continuing to service other clients at their current speeds, or build
your network from the ground up, with appropriate link speeds for each user’s requirements.
Either way, it’s perfect for graphics projects, multimedia, and other applications that need to
move large files across the network quickly. With the Port Desk-top Giga Ethernet Switch, you
can connect your existing 10/100 Ethernet network to a Gigabit server backbone without any
additional equipment. All ports have automatic MDI/MDIX detection, so installation is worry
free. Each port independently and automatically negotiates for best speed and whether to run
in half or full-duplex mode.

The LED indicators include Power, Link/Act LED indicators, which are used for monitoring
and pre-troubleshooting of the Switch. The following section shows the LED indicators of the
Switch along with an explanation of each indicator.
POWER LED: This indicator will light solid red when the Switch powers up. If the LED is
not lit, please check the power supply and connection.
Link/Act LED: The LED indicates Link/Active status. The corresponding LED indicator
will light solid green when connected to a network device. It flashes green when data is
being transmitted or received on the working connection.
1000Mbps LED: The corresponding port LED indicator will light solid green when it's
working on 1000Mbps speed. Not lit indicates working on 10/100Mbps speed.

2. Hardware Installation
2.1. Before installation
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps: Install the Port
Desk-top Giga Ethernet Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Working
environment for the acceptable operation temperature and humidity ranges
Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic source, vibration, dust,
and direct sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the left and right hand side of the Switch for
ventilation.
Visually inspect the AC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power
adapter.
Do not stack any device upon the Switch
2.2. Installation
Desktop or Shelf 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.
3. Troubleshooting
The Power LED is not lit
Check if the AC power cord is well connected. Try to unplug and plug back in the power
cord to the switch or try another power outlet.
The Link LED is not lit
Make sure the network configuration of connecting device is correct, and network card and
drivers are installed correctly.
Check the cable connections.
Make sure the cable distance between the switch and other IEEE802.3 compatible network
device does not exceed 100 meters.
Performance is bad
Check the status of Ethernet switching. If Ethernet switching is set to full-duplex on one
device but a partner is set to half-duplex, then performance will be poor.
Make sure the cable between the switch and other IEEE802.3 compatible network device
is Category 5 UTP or better.
Some devices can’t talk to other devices on the network
Check status of the Link LEDs to make sure devices are linked.
Make sure that the devices' network configurations are correct.
Reset the switch if needed.
