A valid 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps link is established. Blinking amber.
Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports When you insert a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically performs the following actions: • Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable. • Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection (such as when you are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as when you are connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports • Restart the switch. Press the Reset button for about two seconds. (Do not press the button for more than five seconds!) The switch restarts but retains its custom settings. During this process, the Power LED lights amber. • Reset the switch to the most recently saved cloud-managed configuration. Press the Reset button for at least five seconds.
Applications 3 The switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring network connections. The switch can be used as your only network traffic–distribution device for PoE (on model GC110P) and non-PoE devices or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps Ethernet and fiber hubs, routers, and switches.

In such a setup, you must connect one port on the switch to a LAN port on the router. Figure 6.
Installation 4 This chapter describes the installation procedures for the switch.
Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports Step 1: Prepare the Site Before you install the switch, make sure that the operating environment meets the site requirements that are listed in the following table. Table 5. Site requirements Characteristics Requirements Mounting Desktop installations. Provide a flat table or shelf surface. Wall installations. Use the wall-mount screws that are supplied with the switch to attach the switch to a wall.
Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports • When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, leave it in the antistatic package until you are ready to install it. Just before unwrapping the antistatic package, discharge static electricity from your body. • Before moving a sensitive component, place it in an antistatic container or package. • Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area.
Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports Check the contents of the boxes to make sure that all items are present before installing the switch. To check the package contents: 1. Place the container on a clean flat surface, and cut all straps securing the container. 2.

Press firmly on the flange of the module to seat it securely into the connector. Step 6: Connect Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The switch supports Auto Uplink technology, which allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports Step 8: Apply Power and Check the LEDs The switch does not provide an on/off power switch. The DC power adapter connection controls the power. Before connecting the DC power adapter to the DC connector on the switch, select an AC outlet for the DC power adapter. Make sure that the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. To apply power: 1.
