Green Switch
Model# ASW324v2
Ver. 1A
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the 24-Port 10/100Mbps
Green Switch! It is an easy-to-install network switch which
helps you to extend your network structure quickly and
reliably. The 24-Port 10/100Mbps Green Switch is designed
for energy saving, easy installation and high performance in
an environment where network traffic and the number of
users increase continuously. You can add other Ethernet
devices like computers, IP cameras, and Network Attached
Storage (NAS) onto your network quickly and easily. The
Green EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) technology of
ASW324v2 automatically reduces the power consumption
when any connected port is detected inactive (idle or
cable-unplugged) and it intelligently allocates less power to
any port that connects with an Ethernet cable shorter than
20m (66 ft)*.

Installing the Switch
The site where you place the Switch may greatly affect its
performance.
2.1 Installation
Please follow the guidelines below to install the Switch:
• Please install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place.
Please refer to the Technical Specifications for the
acceptable temperature and humidity operating
ranges.
• Please install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that
can support its weight.
• When connecting the power cord to the Switch and the
power outlet, the distance should be no more than
182cm.
• Please leave at least 10cm (about 4 inches) of space
at the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation.
2.2 Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the Switch on the desktop or shelf, please
attach the rubber feet to the Switch. Peel off the protective
paper on the pads and attach them to the bottom of the
Switch (one at each corner).

2.3 Rack Installation
The Switch is rack-mountable and can be installed on an EIA
11-inch equipment rack. To do this, first install the mounting
brackets on the Switch’s side panels (one on each side),
secure them with the included screws, and then use the
screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the
Switch.
2.4 Power on the Switch
The Switch has a universal power supply ranging from 100V
to 240V AC, 50 ~ 60Hz power source. The AC power
connector is located at the rear of the unit. The Switch’s
power supply will adjust to the local power source
automatically.

Section 3
Connecting the Switch
This section describes how to connect the Switch to your
10/100Mbps Ethernet network.
Your network device (i.e. computer, switch, IP Camera, VoIP)
can be connected to any port of the Switch via a two-pair
UTP Category 5 Cable. If the LED indicators do not light up
after making a proper connection, check your network device,
the cable, the Switch conditions and connections.

Troubleshooting
1. Power LED is not on
• Check if the power adapter is properly connected to the
power outlet. Make sure the power jack is firmly plugged
into the power socket of the switch.
2. Link/Activity is not lit when connect to 10/100Mbps device
• Made sure that the network device attached to the switch
is turned ON.
• Check the network cable; make sure it is properly
connected to the switch and the network device.
• Check the network cable; make sure the Ethernet cables
comply with the specifications described in Section 2.
