2.4 Mounting and connecting up the LANCOM Switch
Installating the LANCOM Switch involves the following steps:
햲 Mounting – The device is designed for mounting in an available 19” unit
in a server cabinet. If necessary fix the rubber pads to the underside of the
device to prevent any scratching to other equipment.
C
Ensure that the device has sufficient ventilation to prevent damage
from excessive heat build-up.
햳 LAN connection – Connect the network devices to the ports of the LAN-
COM Switch by means of a suitable twisted-pair cable (TP cable). The con-
nectors automatically detect the avalable data transfer speeds and the pin
assignment (autosensing).
I
Use only standard TP cables of category CAT 5e or better with a maxi-
mum length of 100 m to ensure the best possible transfer of data.
Cross-over cables can be used thanks to the auto-sensing function.
I
If optical connections are to be used, additional modules can be
purchased as accessories.
햴 Supply power and switch on – Supply power to the device by means of
the IEC power cable.
햵 Ready for operation? – After a brief self-test, the power LED lights up
continuously. Green LAN-LINK LEDs show which LAN connectors are
being used for a connection.
