Frequently Asked Questions - HN08GTX Hamlet

How do I set up the Hamlet HN08GTX switch?

Simply connect each device to the switch using twisted-pair cables. Plug one end into the switch's RJ-45 port and the other into the device's network adapter. Power on the switch using the external power adapter. The switch is plug and play and requires no software configuration.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The Power LED is steady green when the switch is powered on. Each port has a Link/Act LED: steady green indicates a valid connection, blinking green indicates data activity, and off means no connection.

Can I connect this switch to another switch or hub?

Yes, all ports support auto MDI/MDI-X, so you can use either a straight or crossover cable to connect to another switch or hub.

What type of cable should I use for 1000 Mbps?

For 1000 Mbps operation, use Cat 5e or Cat 6 UTP/STP cable with a maximum length of 100 meters.

Does the switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

No, the Hamlet HN08GTX does not support PoE. It is a standard switch that requires each connected device to have its own power source.

How do I reset the switch to factory settings?

The HN08GTX has no reset button and requires no configuration. To reset it, simply power cycle the switch by unplugging the power adapter and plugging it back in.

What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate?

The switching capacity is 16 Gbps, and the forwarding rate is 11.9 Mpps (million packets per second).

Is the switch energy efficient?

Yes, it supports pre-IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, which reduces power consumption when network traffic is low.

What are the operating temperature and humidity ranges?

Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C. Operating humidity: 10% to 90% RH, non-condensing. Storage temperature: -40°C to 70°C (metal case) or -20°C to 70°C (plastic case).

What is in the box?

The package includes the 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, an external power adapter (5V/1A), four rubber feet, and a user manual.

Trademarks and changes

All trademarks and company names mentioned in this manual are used for description purpose only and remain property of their respective owners.

The material in this document is for information only and subject to change without notice.

Hamlet HN08GTX is a powerful, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch with 8 ports capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation operation (NWay), which means 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

The switch is plug and play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols.

Before you start to install the switch, check the following contents in this package.

LEDs Definition

The Hamlet HN08GTX switch contains one power LED for the device, Link/Act LED for each port that shows the activities and information of the ports.

Please refer to the following table for LEDs definition.

LED Status Operation
Power	Steady Green	The switch is powered on
	Off The switch is powered off
Link/Act	Steady Green Valid port connection
	Blinking Green	Valid port connection and there is data transmitting/receiving
	Off Port disconnected

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.

Switches Connection

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 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
1000Mbps	Cat. 5e, 6 UTP/STP	100 meters

[Note] To make this switch perform well, we strongly recommend below installation environment:

1. The switch is placed with appropriate ventilation environment. A minimum 25mm space around the unit is recommended.
2. The switch and the relevant components are away from sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers.
3. The switch is away from environments beyond recommend moisture.
