- Placement: Place the switch on a stable, flat surface or mount it on a wall using appropriate hardware (not included). Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
- Connect to Power: Connect the provided power adapter to the power input port on the switch and then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The power LED (if present, or the port LEDs will light up) should illuminate.
- Connect to Network:
- Connect your router or modem to any of the 8 LAN ports on the Naxos800 switch using an Ethernet cable.
- Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, gaming consoles, IP cameras, Smart TVs, printers) to the remaining LAN ports on the Naxos800 switch using an Ethernet cable.
- Verify Connection: Once devices are connected, the corresponding LED indicators on the switch's front panel should light up green (solid for link, flashing for activity).

6. Operating the Switch
The Naxos800 is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without user intervention once connected. It functions as an internet splitter, expanding the number of wired network connections available from your router or modem.
- Automatic Speed Detection: Each port automatically detects the speed of the connected device (10Mbps or 100Mbps) and adjusts accordingly.
- Auto MDI/MDIX: Eliminates the need for crossover cables; the switch automatically detects and corrects for straight-through or crossover cable types.
- Data Transmission: Data packets are forwarded between connected devices at Fast Ethernet speeds. The store-and-forward architecture ensures data integrity.
7. Maintenance
The Naxos800 switch requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the switch. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
- Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked to prevent overheating.
- Power Cycle: If the device experiences issues, a simple power cycle (unplugging and replugging the power adapter) can often resolve minor problems.
