how to install Intellinet 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

• Choose a location: Place the switch on a stable surface, or mount it in a suitable rack or cabinet. Ensure there is adequate ventilation to prevent overheating during extended use.
• Power up: Connect the switch to a reliable power source using the supplied power adapter. Confirm the power indicator is on before proceeding.
• Link devices: Use standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e/Cat6 or better) to connect your computers, printers, NAS devices, and other networked equipment to any of the 24 ports on the switch.
• Connect to your network: If you’re integrating with a router or another switch, connect the appropriate uplink port to your router or core switch. Because the device is unmanaged, no software configuration is required—devices will auto-negotiate speed and duplex settings.
• Verify and monitor: Check the port LEDs to confirm link activity and network status. Begin using your network as usual and monitor performance. If you notice any connectivity issues, re-seat cables or test with known-good cables to isolate potential faults.
