User Manual for Intellinet Network Solutions 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch 561815

Quick Guide

The Intellinet Network Solutions 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a plug-and-play device designed for small office or home networks. It features Green Ethernet technology (IEEE 802.3az) to reduce power consumption on inactive ports and automatically adjusts power output based on cable length. The switch supports a backplane speed of 32 Gbps and automatically senses link speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps.

Front Panel and LED Indicators

The front panel contains the network ports, the slide switch for mode selection, and LED indicators to monitor device status.

• Power LED: Off (Power Off), Green (Power On).
• Link/Act/Speed LED: Off (No device connected), Orange (Connected at 10/100 Mbps), Green (Connected at 1000 Mbps), Flashing (Sending/receiving data).

Slide Switch Modes

The slide switch allows you to configure the operation of the ports:

• Normal: Default mode; allows standard communication between ports 1–16.
• Flow Control: Disables the switch's flow-control function.
• VLAN: Isolates ports 1–14 from each other while allowing them to connect to ports 15 and 16; increases forwarding rate during broadcast storms.
• Extend: Allows ports 1–8 to achieve transmission distances up to 250 m (820 ft.) at a reduced speed of 10 Mbps.

Rear Panel and Power

The rear panel contains the power input and grounding terminal.

• Power: Connect the included power cord to an AC outlet (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz).
• Chassis Ground Column: Located next to the power connector. Use this to provide proper grounding for the switch. In rackmount installations, grounding is typically provided by the metal frame of the rack.

Installation

Desktop Installation

Place the switch on a level surface capable of supporting its weight. Ensure at least 25 mm (approx. 1 inch) of clearance around the device for ventilation. Keep the switch away from sources of electrical noise like radios or transmitters. Attach the included rubber feet to the bottom corners to increase stability.

Rackmount Installation

The switch is compatible with EIA standard 19-inch racks. Attach the mounting brackets to the side panels of the switch (one on each side) using the provided screws. Secure the switch to the equipment rack using the screws provided with the rack.
