Connectors and LED Indicators

• DC Jack Power Connector: An optional power supply is connected here if the bus power of the host USB port is not enough. In most of cases, you don’t need to connect any external power supply to this connector unless your USB port does have a problem powering up the Product.

• PWR LED (Green): It lights steadily when the Product is correctly powered.

• Type-C USB Upstream Facing Port Connector: It should be connected to the PC’s USB host port or a USB Hub’s Downstream Facing Port via a USB C-to-A or C-to-C cable. This connector supports a USB-C screw-lock mechanism for the USB-C screw-lock cable. The following picture shows how it works.

• RJ45 Ethernet Connectors: The 4 l 0/l 00/ l 000Mbps Ethernet ports. They support auto cross-over feature. You can use the same cable to connect to either a Hub/Switch or a host computer.

• LAN LED Indicators: There are 2 LEDs on each RJ45 connector, they are described as the following table:

and Active

Blinking: Transferring Ethernet Data Off: Ethernet Port Disconnected

Speed| Yellow| Off: l0/l00Mbps Mode

Steady on: Gigabit (l000Mbps) Mode

• Switch Pin# 1 also controls the onboard Windows drivers. When it is set ON, it enables the drivers. Otherwise, it disables the onboard Windows drivers.

Installing the Product

Review the settings of the 4-pin DIP switch on the front panel. By default, all 4 switch pins are set ON to enable all 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It is OK if you don’t care which port will be detected by the Windows first. However, Windows usually tries to install all ports simultaneously and aligns them depending on which one is detected first. As a result, it won’t guarantee the port numbers are aligned as the Product’s front panel marked (1, 2, 3, and 4 from left to right). To solve this problem, you can use the DIP switch to enable the ports sequentially. Here  is the procedure:

1. Set switch Pin 2, 3, and 4 to OFF, only let Pin 1 is ON.

2. Plug the USB cable into the host PC, Windows then will install the drivers automatically (the following dialogue box will appear if this is the first time you plug in the Product)
   You will see only the Port l shown on Windows Device Manager, assigned as Ethernet Port # l

3. Set switch Pin 2 to ON while still keeping Pin 3 and 4 at OFF, Windows then install the drivers for Port 2 and adds Ethernet Port #2 to its Device Manager

4. Set switch Pin 3 to ON, add Ethernet Port #3

5. Set switch Pin 4 to ON, add Ethernet Port #4

After installing the drivers for all ports, you are ready to plug the Network Cable to the RJ45 connectors of the Product.

Mounting the Product

The Product provides a detachable mounting kit that can mount it wall or a DIN Rail (with optional DIN Rail clips). The following procedures show how to install the DIN Rail Mounting Kit:

1. Installing the 2 DIN Rail Clips on the Mounting Kit
2. Assemble the mounting kit at the bottom of the Product
3. Assemble the Product on the DIN Rail:
