How to Install Allied Telesis 16-Port 10/100/1000T Unmanaged Switch with Internal PSU

Installing this switch is quick and straightforward, designed for immediate plug-and-play use in a typical small office or home network. Follow these simple steps to get your network up and running in minutes:

• Unbox the switch and place it on a stable surface near your modem/router and the devices you want to connect. Ensure there is adequate ventilation and that the switch is not placed in a restricted or cramped area.
• Connect the switch to your internet gateway or router using a standard Ethernet cable plugged into any available port on the switch and the LAN port of your router. For expanded networks, you can use multiple switches in a daisy-chain (cascading) configuration, if needed, ensuring each link uses a wired connection to preserve performance.
• Plug the switch’s internal power supply into a working AC outlet. Turn the switch on if there is a power switch, otherwise it will power up automatically once connected to power.
• Connect your devices to any of the 16 ports using Ethernet cables. In most cases, devices will automatically establish a link and begin transmitting data at their maximum supported speed without any configuration.
• Power on connected devices and verify link/activity indicators on the front panel. The LED indicators provide a quick visual confirmation of port status, link speed, and activity, helping you confirm that everything is connected correctly.
• Organize cables for a clean setup and optimize airflow around the switch to maintain cool operation. If you need to relocate or rearrange, the switch’s lightweight design makes repositioning simple without tools.
