1 POSITIONING YOUR SWITCH
Safety Information
WARNING:
Please read the ‘Important Safety
Information’ section in the Support and Safety
Information sheet before you start.
VORSICHT:
Bitte lesen Sie den Abschnitt ‘Wichtige
Sicherheitsinformationen’ sorgfältig durch, bevor Sie das
Gerät einschalten.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Veuillez lire attentivement la
section "Consignes importantes de sécurité" avant de
mettre en route.
When positioning your Switch, ensure:
• It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.
• Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fix-
tures, and sources of electrical noise such as radios, trans-
mitters and broadband amplifiers.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side
of the case is not restricted. 3Com recommends you pro-
vide a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance.
Using the Rubber Feet

2 BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR SWITCH
Unit Connections
To connect other OfficeConnect units (such as gateways or
switches) to your Switch you need:
• One suitable Twisted Pair (TP) cable for each unit
3Com recommends Category 5E cable for Gigabit connections.
Workstation Connections
To connect workstations or other equipment (such as servers)
directly to your Switch, you need:
1 One adapter card for each workstation to be connected to
a port on the Switch. The adapter card must be capable of
communicating at the required speed.
2
An operating system (for example Netware or Windows
95/98/Me/2000/XP) with network support configured, run-
ning on your workstations (for example Windows/Mac/
Linux).

Expanding Your Network
You can increase the number of workstations and other
devices that can connect to your network by adding
OfficeConnect gateways and switches. You can connect a
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX OfficeConnect unit to each port of
the Switch.
The Switch has automatic MDI/MDIX functionality, and there-
fore does not require the Uplink/Normal switch associated
with some OfficeConnect products. Simply plug in the cable,
and the Switch will automatically detect which wiring practice
has been followed, and will compensate accordingly.
Checking Unit Connections
When you have connected all your units, power on the units
and the Switch. The Port Status LEDs for the ports you have
used should be lit. If they are not, check your connections.
4 HOW YOUR SWITCH CAN BE USED
Switching
When a network of repeater hubs is in operation, any infor-
mation that is sent by the workstation is passed around the
whole network (regardless of the destination of the informa-
tion). This can result in a lot of unnecessary traffic that can
slow the network down. The Switch solves this problem
because it "listens" to the network and automatically learns
what workstations can be reached through its ports. It can
then selectively pass on any information by transmitting the
traffic from the relevant port only. This operation is called
"switching".
13
3 CONNECTING WORKSTATIONS
Twisted Pair (TP) Cables
Cables can be shielded (screened) or unshielded. Cables must
be Category 5 or above. The maximum length you can use is
100 m (328 ft).
Twisted Pair (TP) cable is very easy to use. To connect a TP
cable, simply slot the connector into the relevant RJ-45 Port.
When a connector is fully in, its latch locks into place. To
disconnect the cable, push the connector’s latch in and
remove it.
When one end of a TP cable is connected to the Switch and
the other end is connected to the network interface card of a
workstation or other device, the Switch will automatically
detect whether a straight-through or crossover cable is being
used and will compensate if required. The units will then
autonegotiate to determine the fastest possible link speed
between them. This may take a few seconds and the out-
come will be reflected in the LEDs on the front of the Switch.
If the equipment connected to the Switch does not sup-
port autonegotiation or it has been disabled, it must be
configured to operate in half duplex mode.
12
3C16790C_ 3C16791C_booklet 3/6/08 09:51 Page 12
5 PROBLEM SOLVING
The Switch has been designed to aid you when detecting and
solving possible problems with your network. These problems
are rarely serious; the cause is usually a disconnected or dam-
aged cable, or incorrect configuration. If this section does not
solve your problem, contact your supplier for information on
what to do next.
Perform these actions first:
• Ensure all network equipment is powered on.
• Power each piece of network equipment off, wait about
five seconds and then power each one on.
CAUTION: Do not power the Switch off and then
immediately on. Wait about five seconds between
power cycles.
Check the following symptoms and solutions:
Power Status LED (Illuminated 3Com Logo) not lit.
The power adapter or power adapter connection is likely to
be faulty. Check your power adapter connection. If there is
still no power, contact 3Com Technical Support and ask for a
replacement power adapter. Please quote the power adapter
part number, shown on the OfficeConnect power adapter
you are currently using or refer to the table opposite.
15
The Switch effectively divides up your network, localizing the
network traffic and passing on traffic as necessary. If you have
any high performance workstations that require a lot of band-
width, connect them directly to the Switch.
Traffic Prioritization (8 port Switch only)
The Switch has a built in feature to aid network performance
at times of excessive load. It is called Priority Queuing. When
a packet is received, the 8 port Switch will examine it to see if
it has been priority encoded. If it has, the Switch will then
read the priority level and determine whether it should be
directed through the normal or high priority channel. This fea-
ture can be useful during excessive loads, for example, when
one type of traffic may require priority over another.
Connecting 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Networks
The ports can each be connected to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
network. If you have various connection speeds in your net-
work, you can join them together using the Switch allowing
all your workstations to communicate. For example, by con-
necting one of the ports to a server, all the workstations con-
nected to the server can communicate with devices connected
to the Switch, significantly increasing the size of your network.

Only use the power adapter supplied with the Switch
or a replacement OfficeConnect power adapter. Do
not use any other power adapter.
Port Status LED not lit for a port that has a TP cable
connected. After connection, it may take several seconds for
the Port Status LEDs to illuminate. The Port Status LED should
turn, Green for each port that is connected. Please refer to
‘About Your Switch’ for a full description of the LEDs.
If the Port Status LED is not lit after several seconds, ensure
that the connected device is powered on, that the TP cable is
not damaged and that it is correctly inserted at both ends.
You may find that a TP cable works when connected to the
Switch, but that it does not if disconnected from the Switch
and connected to another device. This may be because the
other device does not have the automatic MDI/MDIX feature.
The Port Status LED is lit but the network performance of
the switch is poor. The switch supports full-duplex autonego-
tiation. If the connected device does not support autonegotia-
tion, ensure it is configured for half duplex operation only.
