please read the ′important safety information′ section before you start.

    veuillez lire attentivement la section ″consignes importantes de sécurité″ avant de mettre en route.

    do not power the switch off and on quickly. wait about five seconds between power cycles.

    connecting workstations and other equipment to your switch is easy. to connect a workstation to any of the switch′s ports, use a ′straight-through′ tp cable. refer to ″twisted pair (tp) cables″ on page 11 for further information.

    10base-t cables are very easy to use. to connect a 10base-t cable, simply slot the connector into the relevant rj-45 port. when the connector is fully in, its latch locks it into place. to disconnect the cable, push the connector′s latch in and remove it.

    if the equipment connected to the switch does not support auto-negotiation or if it has been disabled, it must be configured to operate in half duplex mode.

    if you are using the highest-number port (port 4 on switch 4, port 8 on switch 8, port 16 on switch 16) to connect a workstation, ensure the uplink/normal switch is set to normal (out).

    the switch detects all port connections, so you can start using your network immediately. if you need more ports, simply add another officeconnect unit.
