1.
Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber connectors on the module.
2.
Plug the connector on the fiber cable into the fiber socket on the module.
3.
Connect the other end of the fiber optic segment to an appropriate device fitted with a
4.
100Mbps adapter.
Power on the switch.
5.
Check the LED indicators on the front of the switch to ensure that the module is
6.
operating correctly.
Removing Modules
Ensure that the power supply and the backbone connection cables are disconnected
1.
from the switch.
Place the switch on a flat surface. Loosen the screws of the module. Do not remove any
2.
other screws from the switch.
If you are not installing another module immediately, you must replace the blank module
3.
cover to ensure that dust and debris do not enter the switch, as well as to aid circulation

Connecting the ProSwitch
Any of the modules for the 2600M can be used to:
Connect the switch to the backbone of your network
Connect the switch to a classroom/workgroup hub or switch
Connect the switch to a server or workstation
The 2600M switch has been designed to support all standard Ethernet media types within a
single switch unit. The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE
802.3 and 802.3u standards and connector types are as follows:
Fiber:
IEEE Standard
100Base-FX
100Base-FX
1000Base-SX
1000Base-LX
Copper:
10Base-T
100Base-TX
1000Base-TX
Note: Since dual-speed ports are auto-sensing for both 10 and 100Mbps, it is
recommended that high quality CAT5E or better cables (which work for both 10Mbps and
100Mbps) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a mixed-speed
