2 What Else You Need 
  Appropriate cables for data ports 
  Personal computer or laptop 
 
3 Select a Location 
  Desktop installations: Mount on a flat table 
or shelf surface. 
  Rack installations: Use a 19-inch (48.3-
centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack 
that is grounded and physically secure.  
  Identify a power source within 6 feet (1.8 
meters). 
  Choose a dry area with ambient temperature 
between -40 and 75ºC (-40 and 167ºF). 
  Be sure there is adequate airflow. 
4 Connect to the Data Ports 
Your switch has the following ports: 
  8 10/100Base-M12 D-Code 4-pin female ports 
  2 Gigabit-M12 A-Code 8-pin female/LC ports 
10/100Base-M12 Ports 
These ports support Power over Ethernet (PoE). 
They conform to IEEE802.3at and provide up to 
30W per port, with a total power budget of 
120W. Use these ports to connect to devices such 
as an IP surveillance camera or a Voice Over 
Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone. 
Gigabit-M12 Ports 
These ports come as 10/100/1000Base-TX, 
1000Base-SX, or 1000Base-LX interfaces.  
These ports can connect to network devices such 
as a computer, printer, network video recorder 
(NVR), network storage, or they can connect to 
the network itself. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist 
strap before connecting to these ports. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5 Apply DC Power 
The switch supports two sets of power supplies —
power input 1 and power input 2.The M23 6-pin 
male connector on the front panel is used for the 
dual power inputs. Use a power cord with an M23 
6-pin female connector to connect the power 
inputs to the switch.
