Frequently Asked Questions - RF3769708 Renkforce

How to install the switch in a 19-inch rack?

Attach the provided brackets to the sides of the switch using the included screws, then mount the assembly in the rack with suitable screws (not included).

What to do if the POWER LED does not light up?

Check that the power adapter is properly connected to the switch (12V jack) and to a working power outlet. If the problem persists, the power adapter may be defective.

Does this switch support PoE power?

No, this switch is not PoE compatible. Each device must be powered by its own power cable.

What is the maximum Ethernet cable length?

The maximum network cable length is 100 meters per port.

How to clean the switch?

Unplug the switch and clean it with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive products, alcohol or solvents.

Yes, the switch is backward compatible with 10 and 100 Mbps speeds thanks to the Auto-Negotiation function.

Does the switch get hot during operation?

Yes, the casing may get hot. Ensure adequate ventilation and do not cover the switch. Leave about 10 cm of space around the unit.

How to know if a port is active?

Each port has an LED indicator: solid green indicates a link is established, blinking green indicates network activity. Solid orange indicates a 100 Mbps link, blinking orange indicates 100 Mbps activity.

Can this switch be used outdoors?

No, use is indoor only, in dry and enclosed spaces. Avoid any contact with moisture.

What to do in case of failure or malfunction?

Check cables and power. If the problem persists, contact a specialized technical service. Never open the casing, as it contains no user-serviceable parts.

USER MANUAL RF3769708 Renkforce

The Gigabit Switch is intended for cable-based networking of computers or other devices suitable for the purpose. It provides 16 twisted-pair connections (RJ45). It integrates the different speeds of 1000 Mbps for Gigabit Ethernet, 100 MBit/s for Fast Ethernet and 10 MBit/s for conventional Ethernet into a single network. The Gigabit switch supports Energy Efficient Ethernet. It detects the length of the connected data cables and automatically adjusts the signal strength for the purpose of energy saving.

It can be mounted into a 19" server rack or can be set up on feet. Power is provided by the supplied power adapter.

This product is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture (e.g. in a bathroom) must be avoided under all circumstances.

For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. Using the product for purposes other than those described above may damage the product.

Safety information

Read the operating instructions and safety information carefully. If you do not follow the safety information and information on proper handling in these operating instructions, we will assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/ guarantee.

a) General information

The device is not a toy. Keep out of the reach of children and pets.
- Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
- Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
- Never expose the product to mechanical stress.
- If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, stop using it and prevent unauthorised use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:

• is visibly damaged,
• is no longer working properly,
• has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
• has been subjected to any serious transport-related stress.

• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height may damage the product.
• Always observe the safety information and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected to the product.
• Consult a technician if you are not sure how to use or connect the product, or if you have concerns about safety.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs must be carried out by a technician or a specialist repair centre.
• If you have any questions that are not answered in these operating instructions, please contact our technical customer service or other professionals.

b) Electrical safety

• Before connecting the product to the mains, check that your local A/C mains voltage matches the specifications on the nameplate.
• The power adapter is built according to protection class II. Only connect the adapter plug to a standard mains socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz) connected to the public grid.
• Never pour liquids over electrical devices or place objects filled with liquid next to the device. If liquid or an object gets into the device, power down the respective mains socket (e.g. switch off the circuit breaker), and then pull the mains plug from the mains socket. Discontinue use and take the product to a specialist repair centre.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one. The condensation that forms might destroy the product. The power adapter may also generate a fatal electric shock! Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it and putting it into use. This may take several hours.
• Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may cause a fatal electric shock! Switch off the mains voltage to the socket containing the power adapter (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse, and then switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch). You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket. Dispose of the faulty power adapter in an environmentally friendly manner and discontinue use. Replace it with a power adapter of the same design.
  The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, ensure that the cables are not pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket during storms.
  Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This poses a risk of injury.

Setup and installation

Before installation, remove any connected devices and the power adapter to the Gigabit switch.

a) Installation

You can use the Gigabit switch on a horizontal heat-resistant surface using the feet. To install on a flat surface, proceed as follows:

• Pull the supplied feet individually from the support strip and affix them symmetrically with the adhesive side (base of the pyramid stub) on the base of the product. Distribute the feet symmetrically at the four corners as far from the centre of the housing as possible to ensure a stable, wobble-free position.
• When installing the product, ensure that there is enough space on all sides for sufficient air circulation for cooling (approx. 10 cm distance to walls and other objects).

b) Installation into a server rack

You can install the Gigabit switch into a standard 19" server rack with the mounting bracket supplied. To install into a server rack, proceed as follows:

• Attach the mounting bracket to the threaded holes (5) on the housing using the screws supplied. You will need a Philips screwdriver to do this.

• Then, install the pre-installed Gigabit switch into the rack using the appropriate server rack screws (not included).

Ensure that there is a mains socket near to where the switch is installed so that you can plug in the power adapter.

Setup

a) Data connections

The maximum length of the network cable can be up to 100 m.

You can directly connect up to 16 network devices with appropriate connectors via RJ45 connections and cables.

b) Mains connection

• Connect the low-voltage plug on the power adapter to the mains socket 12 V...1 A (6).
• Plug the mains plug of the power adapter into an appropriate mains socket to connect the power supply.
  The mains LED POWER (1) lights up. The Gigabit switch is correctly supplied with power.
• Connect the earth connection SWITCH GND (7) via a cable connected to the earth of the server rack into which Gigabit switch is installed. Screw in a curved cable eyelet with the aid of a suitable Phillips screwdriver.

If the function LED indicators (2) do not light up, check that the connections are firmly seated. If the mains LED POWER (1) does not light up, check the power supply (power adapter and connections).
