24-port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView Pre-Installation Considerations Fast Ethernet Considerations If you will be using the Switch for Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) applications, you must observe the following guidelines: Full-Duplex Considerations As previously mentioned, the Switch provides full-duplex support for its RJ-45 ports. Full-duplex operation allows data to be sent and received simultaneously, doubling a port's potential data throughput. If you will be using the Switch in full-duplex mode, the maximum cable length using Category 5 cable is 328 feet (100 meters). Positioning the Switch Before you choose a location for the Switch, observe the following guidelines: • Make sure that the switch is accessible and that the cables can be connected easily. • Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. • Position the Switch away from water and moisture sources. • To ensure adequate air flow around the Switch, be sure to provide a minimum clearance of two inches (50 mm). • Do not stack free-standing Switches more than four units high. • Connect Network Devices Hardware Installation To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these instructions: 1. Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch are powered off. 2. Connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the Switch. 3. Connect the other end to a PC or other network device. Chapter 3: Connecting the Switch 8 Pre-Installation Considerations

Pre-Installation Considerations
Fast Ethernet Considerations
If you will be using the Switch for Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) applications, you must observe the following
guidelines:
Full-Duplex Considerations
As previously mentioned, the Switch provides full-duplex support for its RJ-45 ports. Full-duplex operation allows
data to be sent and received simultaneously, doubling a port’s potential data throughput.
If you will be using the Switch in full-duplex mode, the maximum cable length using Category 5 cable is 328 feet
(100 meters).
Positioning the Switch
Before you choose a location for the Switch, observe the following guidelines:
•
Make sure that the switch is accessible and that the cables can be connected easily.
•
Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
•
Position the Switch away from water and moisture sources.
•
To ensure adequate air flow around the Switch, be sure to provide a minimum clearance of two inches (50
mm).
•
Do not stack free-standing Switches more than four units high.
•
Connect Network Devices
Hardware Installation
To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these instructions:
1.
Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch are powered off.
2.
Connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the Switch.
3.
Connect the other end to a PC or other network device.
