| DIP Switch | Function Controlled | Default |
| Standard | Switch all ports can communicate with each other port and work as a common Unmanaged Switch. *1 to 16 port supports Power over Ethernet and transmit data at 10/100 Mbps.** 1 to 8 port supports port priority to optimize port cache. | On |
| Isolate | 1 to 16 port can’t communicate with each other, but each of them can communicate with port 17 and 18. | Off |
| Extend | The data rate of 9 to 16 port is limited to 10Mbps, whereas the maximum transmission distance of the port is increased to 250 meters. | Off |
Hardware Installation
Before You Begin
Observe the following precautions to help prevent shutdowns, equipment failures, and personal injury:
- Install the DSS-100E-18P in a cool and dry place. Refer to the technical specifications in the user manual for the acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges.
- Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic sources, vibration, dust, and direct sunlight.
- Leave at least 10 cm of space to the left and righthand side of the switch for ventilation.
- Visually inspect the power connector and make sure that it is fully secured to the power cord.
- Do not stack any devices on top of the switch.
Using the Switch on a Flat Surface
The included rubber pads can be placed on the bottom of the device to prevent it from damaging the surface it is placed on.
- Remove the rubber pads from the adhesive strip.
- Stick one pad on each corner on the bottom panel of the switch.
Mounting the Switch in a Rack
The DSS-100E-18P can be mounted into a standard 19” server rack.
- Attach the included mounting brackets to the sides of the switch and secure them using the provided screws.
- Install the switch into the rack.
- Use the screws that were provided with the rack to secure the switch to the rack.
Grounding the Switch
This step must be completed before powering on the switch.
Required tools and equipment for grounding
- Grounding screw (included) and one M4x6 (metric) pan-head screw (not included).
- Grounding cable (not included). The grounding cable should be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for installation. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the cable depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities.
- A screwdriver (not included).
Note: Verify that the system is powered off.
- Remove the grounding screw from the back of the device and place the #8 terminal lug ring of the grounding cable on top of the grounding screw opening.
- Insert the grounding screw back into the screw opening and use a screwdriver to tighten the grounding screw.
- Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding source.
- Verify that the connection between the grounding connector on the switch and the grounding source is secure.
Powering On the Switch
- Connect the power cord to the power connector on the switch.
- Plug the other end of the power cord into a nearby power socket.
Connecting to the Network
The switch can be integrated into the network through one of the following connection methods:
Switch to End Node or Powered Device
Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the switch to PCs with an 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 interface, or connect and power remote IEEE 802.3af/at compliant devices, such as IP cameras or IP phones using PoE.
Switch to Hub or Switch
Connect the switch to another switch or hub using the RJ-45 or SFP uplink ports.
Switch to Server
Connect the switch to a network backbone or network server using the RJ-45 or SFP uplink ports.
