Installation
Micronet SP624EA Switches do not require software configuration.
Users can immediately use any of the features of this product simply
by attaching the cables and turning on the power.
Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable. Plug one
RJ-45 connector into a RJ-45 port of the switch, and plug the other
RJ-45 connector into the station’s network adapter. Power on the
switch and then system is ready.
In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to
connect another switch with straight or crossover cable. As all the
ports support auto-uplink (MDI / MDI-X) function, using a straight
cable to make a switch-to-switch connection is allowed.
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
Note: To prevent costly equipment damage and downtime, please
consider installing a surge suppression device or a UPS
(Un-interrupted Power Supply).
