Installation Guide
The 3Com Network Jack is a 4-port, unmanaged Ethernet switch
that fits into any standard electrical wall outlet or data port
opening.
The Network Jack brings switching capabilities to any single port
on an Ethernet network by allowing up to four networking
devices, such as computers, printers, Voice Over IP (VoIP)
telephones, and scanners, to be connected to the network via
one Ethernet port. Optional connectors are also available that
allow up to two additional devices to be connected to separate
network segments through the same Network Jack.
The Network Jack needs no software to operate and little or no
configuration. All ports feature 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation,
which configures the Network Jack for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
connections automatically.
Power to the Network Jack can be provided one of the following ways:
I
Over the network via an integrated switch that supports
Power Over Ethernet; specifically, a switch that is compatible
with Capacitive Power Discovery Process (24V or 48V) or IEEE
802.3af-compatible Power Over Ethernet. Power Over
Ethernet, also known as in-line power, is a feature that
provides power onto an Ethernet cable, allowing a device to
receive both data and power from the same network cable.
I
I
Over the network via an optional single-port or multi-port
Ethernet power supply. See “Setting up the Power Supply”
on page 10 for more information.
Locally via an optional local power supply. See “Using the
3Com Local Power Supply” on page 12 for more information.

use and service, for the following length of time from the date of purchase from
3Com or its authorized reseller:
Limited Lifetime, for as long as the original Customer owns the product or for 5
years after product discontinuance, whichever occurs first (not transferable to a
subsequent end user). FOR NON-US CUSTOMERS: Where a limited lifetime warranty
is not permitted by local law, a 10 year warranty period shall be given by 3Com. The
duration of this warranty shall be modified where necessary to meet any minimum
warranty period required by law.
3Com’s sole obligation under this express warranty shall be, at 3Com’s option and
expense, to repair the defective product or part, deliver to Customer an equivalent
product or part to replace the defective item, or if neither of the two foregoing
options is reasonably available, refund to Customer the purchase price paid for the
defective product. All products that are replaced will become the property of 3Com.

remainder of the initial warranty period, whichever is longer.

Customer’s requirements or work in combination with any hardware or software
products provided by third parties, that the operation of the software products will
be uninterrupted or error free, or that all defects in the software products will be
corrected. For any third party products listed in the 3Com software product
documentation or specifications as being compatible, 3Com will make reasonable
efforts to provide compatibility, except where the non-compatibility is caused by a
"bug" or defect in the third party's product or from use of the software product not
in accordance with 3Com’s published specifications or user manual.
THIS 3COM PRODUCT MAY INCLUDE OR BE BUNDLED WITH THIRD PARTY
SOFTWARE. THE WARRANTY PROVISIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT DO NOT APPLY TO
SUCH THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE. IF A SEPARATE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR SUCH THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, USE OF THAT
SOFTWARE WILL BE GOVERNED BY THAT AGREEMENT. FOR ANY APPLICABLE
WARRANTY, PLEASE REFER TO THE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT GOVERNING
THE USE OF THAT SOFTWARE.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
Customer must contact a 3Com Corporate Service Center or an Authorized 3Com
Service Center within the applicable warranty period to obtain warranty service
authorization. Dated proof of purchase from 3Com or its authorized reseller may be
required. A User Service Order (USO), Return Material Authorization (RMA) or Service
Repair Order (SRO) number will be issued. This number must be marked on the outside
of the package sent to 3Com’s Corporate Service Center. The product must be
packaged appropriately for safe shipment and sent prepaid. It is recommended that
returned products be insured or sent by a method that provides for tracking of the
package. Responsibility for loss or damage does not transfer to 3Com until the
returned item is received by 3Com. 3Com will retain risk of loss or damage until the
item is delivered to Customer. For non-US Customers, the word 'prepaid' shall be
omitted where this requirement is not permitted by law. The allocation of responsibility
for loss or damage stated shall be subject to any mandatory legal requirements.
