How to install Allied Telesis 8-Port 10/100/1000T UnManaged Switch With External PSU

• Place the switch on a stable surface or in a ventilated rack or cabinet. Ensure there is adequate airflow to prevent overheating during sustained use.
• Connect the external PSU to the switch and plug it into a properly grounded wall outlet or power strip.
• Use standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher) to connect up to eight devices (PCs, printers, NAS, IP cameras, etc.) to the eight RJ-45 ports.
• If you’re linking the switch to your broader network, connect the uplink port to your router, modem, or another switch so traffic can move between your local devices and the internet.
• Power on the switch and verify connectivity by checking the Link/Activity LEDs on each port. Test network access by pinging local devices or accessing shared folders or printers.
