Prepare to Install the Switch
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface such as a
table, desk, or shelf. The switch comes with wall-mounting screws. You can use the
screws if you want to hang the switch in an open space on a wall. Make sure the
selected location is:
• Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
• Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear
space on all sides of the switch.
• Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
You need one Category 5e (Cat 5e) Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors for each
device you want to connect to the switch. Each Ethernet cable needs to be less than
328 feet (100 meters).
Installation
1. Either place the switch on a flat surface, or wall-mount the switch.
2. To connect the switch, for each device, insert one end of an Ethernet cable into
the port in the device and insert the other end into one of the Ethernet ports on
the switch.
3. Connect the power adapter cord into the back of the switch, and then plug the
adapter into an electrical outlet or power strip.
The Power LED should light up.
4. Check the LEDs to confirm that all connections are correct.
The following table describes LED behavior.
LED Activity

Installation
Wall-Mount the Switch
1. If you are wall-mounting the switch, drill pilot holes for the anchors.
2. Insert the anchors, and then the screws. Tighten the screws, leaving about
4.8 mm of the screw exposed as shown.
3. Slip the case over the screws.
