Frequently Asked Questions - SWITCH 10/100 À 16 PORTS #F5D5131EA16 BELKIN

How do I connect the switch to my computers?

Power off all equipment. Connect an Ethernet cable between each computer's network card and the numbered ports on the front of the switch. Then plug the switch's power cord into a power outlet. The ports auto-negotiate speed and duplex mode automatically.

Can I connect the switch to another switch?

Yes, use an Ethernet cable to connect a free port on each switch. All ports support auto-negotiation and MDI/MDIX, so either a straight-through or crossover cable works. Use only one cable to avoid network loops.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The Power LED is solid green when the switch is powered on. For each port, the Link/Act LED solid green indicates a link; blinking indicates activity. The 10/100 LED solid green means 100 Mbps, off means 10 Mbps. The FDX/COL LED solid green indicates full duplex mode; blinking indicates collisions in half duplex.

What type of Ethernet cable should I use?

It is recommended to use Category 5 or higher cables (Cat5e, Cat6) for optimal performance at 100 Mbps.

How do I install the switch in a 19-inch rack?

Remove the adhesive rubber feet if already attached. Attach the provided mounting brackets to each side of the switch using screws. Place the switch in the rack, align the bracket holes with the rack holes, then screw securely.

The switch does not power on, what should I do?

Check that the power cord is properly connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Try another outlet. If the problem persists, contact Belkin technical support.

How do I connect a 10 Mbps device?

The switch auto-negotiates speed with each device. Simply connect the 10 Mbps device to a port; the switch will automatically detect the speed and adjust operation (to 10 Mbps).

Can I use the switch with a modem or router?

Yes, connect an Ethernet cable from the modem/router to one of the switch ports to share the internet connection with all devices connected to the switch.

How do I clean the switch?

Unplug the power before any cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquids, cleaning sprays, or abrasive products.

What is the warranty on this product?

Belkin offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. For details, refer to the manual or the Belkin website.

Connecting your Switch to your Computers

1. Power down all your equipment.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable between each computer's network interface card and one of the numbered ports on the front of the Switch.
3. All switch ports can automatically negotiate speeds and full- and half-duplex modes to allow users to attach 10/100Base-Tx network devices.
4. Connect the power adapter cord into the power adapter socket in the rear of the Switch; now plug the adapter cord into a power source (wall jack or power strip).

Connecting your Switch to another Switch

1. Connect a 10/100 Ethernet cable between one of the numbered ports on the front of the Switch and one of the numbered ports on the other Switch you are cascading or connecting to.
2. All switch ports can automatically negotiate speeds and full- and half-duplex modes to allow users to attach 10/100Base-Tx network switches or hubs.
3. All ports support auto MDI and MDIX functionality. When cascading or connecting switches or hubs, the user can use a straight-through or crossover cable.

Important: When connecting two switches together, use a single cable. If multiple cables are used, loops may occur resulting in unwanted collisions. This will result in poor network performance.

The Switches can be placed on a flat surface, on a wall, or in a 19-inch rack.

Placement on a Flat Surface

1. Affix the four rubber feet shipped with the Switch on the bottom of the Switch in the area that is clearly marked on each of the four corners.
2. Make sure the Switch is placed in an area that allows for proper ventilation.
3. Place on a flat surface.

Placement in a 19-Inch Rack

1. Do not affix the four rubber feet on the Switch when rack-mounting. If already affixed, remove.

1. Attach the mounting bracket to each side of the Switch with the included screws.
2. Place the Switch in the rack and align the holes of the mounting bracket with the correct hole in the rack.
3. Place and tighten the screws of each mounting bracket into the rack.
