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.
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).
Note:
The switch is not designed to be stacked on top of other devices.
Depending on the speed of your network devices, you need a Category 3 (10 Mbps),
Category 5 (100 Mbps), or Category 5e (1000 Mbps) Ethernet cable with RJ-45
connectors for each device you want to connect to the switch. Each Ethernet cable must be
less than 328 feet (100 meters).
Install the Switch and Connect the
Other Devices
1.
Place the switch on a flat surface.
2.
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. If you have more
devices to connect than the number of ports on the switch, connect the devices to
another switch or hub and then connect that switch or hub to this switch.
3.
If you add devices using another switch or hub, make sure the QoS category of the
devices match the GS605AV port used by the switch or hub.
Note:
The GS605AV will optimize audio/video streaming prioritization if it can recognize
the pattern. If the GS605AV cannot recognize the pattern, you still can use port-based QoS
to manually configure priority for your devices.
