With 5 or 8 ports capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation operation (NWay), the switch could automatically negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications. Moreover, the 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy way to migrate 10/100Mbps to 1000Mbps network. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switch delivers a dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps connection to every attached client without bandwidth congestion issue. This switch also supports auto MDI/ MDI-X function. Each port could be used to connect to another switch or hub without crossover RJ-45 cable. Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all the network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of the frames can occur simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double the network bandwidth. Moreover, Pre-IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet is supported to save power consumption GEU-0520 and GEU-0820 are plug and play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols. 3 Quick Installation Guide This section provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One GEU-0520, or GEU-0820 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Four rubber feet with adhesive backing Wall-mount Kit One external power adapter QIG Manual If any item is found missing or damaged, contact your local dealer for a service. Installation The site where you install the Switch stack may affect its performance. Use the following guidelines when installing the switch: Install the Switch in a cool and dry place. See specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges. Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight. Leave at least 10 cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation. Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight. When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching. 4 Wall Mounting Before you begin, you need 2 wallboard screws to mount the unmanaged switch. To mount the unmanaged switch to the wall: 1. Determine where you want to mount the unmanaged switch. Verify that the surface is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy. 2. Drill two pilot holes into the wall surface. The wall-mount slots are two crisscross slots on the bottom panel of the unmanaged switch. 3. Insert a screw into each hole, leaving a gap between the surface and the base of the screw head of at least 0.1 inches (3 mm). 4. Place the unmanaged switch wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the unmanaged switch down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots. 5. Connect the unmanaged switch to the other devices, as described in the “Connecting the Equipment” section. Flat Surface Installation To deploy the device on a desktop or other flat surface: 1. Place the unmanaged switch on a desktop near an AC power source. 2. Connect the unmanaged switch to the other devices, as described in the “Connecting the Equipment” section. Connecting the Equipment This section describes the process for connecting the device to the network. 1. Power down all of the devices you want to connect to the switch. 5 2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a PC, printer, network storage, or other network device. NOTE We recommend using Cat5e or better cable. Also, do not exceed the maximum cabling distance of 328 feet (100 meters) per segment. For cable selection, refer to the following table： Network Speed Cable Type Max. Length 10Mbps Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP 100 meters 100Mbps Cat. 5 UTP/STP 100 meters 1000Mbps Category 5e, 6 UTP/STP 100 meters 3. Connect the other end of the network Ethernet cable to one of the numbered unmanaged switch Ethernet ports. 4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each device you want to connect to the unmanaged switch. CAUTION Make sure you use the power adapter included with the switch. Using a different power adapter might damage the switch. 5. Connect the power adapter to the power port on the back panel of the unmanaged switch. 6. Power up the devices connected to the switch. 6 Magnet Mounting This model support magnet mounting Introduction to magnetic mounting parts There are two permanent magnets in the bottom of switch, as shown in below figures. GEU-0520 GEU-0820 Installation procedure Attach the magnet-mounted device to the specified location. Take care not to get your fingers stuck between because the magnetism is very huge. 7 CAUTION Select the installation location carefully. In the case of poor surface, magnet mounting may not be reliable. Put the device at a stable place free from vibrations or shocks. Otherwise, personal injuries or equipment damage may occur. Avoid installing the device at a high place because personal injuries or equipment damage may occur in case of a falloff. Avoid frequently moving the desk-mounted device because such movements may damage the surface coating. Keep the front panel of the device facing upwards and the two sides with ventilation holes vertical to the ground, if you want to install the device vertically. Pay attention that the weight of external cables should not bring about a falloff, which may result in personal injuries or equipment damage. Keep floppy disks and magnetic cards away from magnets to avoid erasure of any information. Keep computers and monitors that are easily influenced by magnetic fields away from magnets. Otherwise, faults may occur to these electronic devices. Power On Plug one end of theca power adapter into the power connector on the switch and the other end into the local power source outlet. After the switch is turned on, the LED indicators will momentarily blink, showing a reset of the system. 8 Power failure If a power failure occurs, unplug the switch. When power is resumed, plug the switch back in.
