Installation
Precautions for Installation
• Do not install the device in an unstable location such as on an unsteady
table or an inclined surface.
• Do not place another hub or object that generates heat on this unit.
• Please route all cables properly to prevent people from tripping over
them.
• Ensure the air vents on the product are not blocked by other
equipment or walls.
• Only use the power cable included with the product. Using other
power cables may result in damage or re.
Floor or Shelf Mounting
Attach the supplied rubber feet to the bottom corners of the unit before
use.
Mounting to a Metal Surface
To mount to a metal surface, such as the side of a steel desk, use the
"BS-MGK-A Magnet Kit" (sold separately). Attach the supplied rubber feet
to the bottom corners of the unit before using the magnet kit.
Caution: Do not put oppy discs, magnetic cards, or other magnetic
storage media near magnets. Doing so may delete or corrupt
data.
Note: If the switch is secured by the magnet alone, it should be no
more than 75 cm (29.5 in) from the oor.
Mounting to a Wall
The BS-GU2024 can be mounted to a wall using the supplied mounting
brackets or the mounting holes on the bottom.
To mount the unit with the mounting brackets, install as shown in the
gure below.
To mount the unit directly to the wall, use 2 screws (not included) with the
dimensions shown below. Install the screws 175 mm (6.9 in) apart and
slide the mounting holes on the base of the BS-GU2024 over them.
Installing on 19-inch Rack
Install as shown in the gure below by using the supplied mounting
brackets.

Loop Prevention
This unit can detect and prevent network loops that can cause
interference in the network.
What Is a Loop?
If both ends of an Ethernet cable are connected to the same hub, or when
multiple connections exist between two hubs, data may be sent in a loop
around the network, wasting network capacity and never getting to its
destination. This continuously circulating data may interfere with other
network communication.
Loop Prevention
･Off:Loops are not blocked.
･On:If a network loop is detected, the port is blocked until the loop is
xed. Also, the loop, link/act, and 1000 Mbps LEDs for the blocked
port blink once per second.
Notes:
・While loop prevention is enabled, the BS-GU2024 will send a loop
detection packet through the network every two seconds. If these
packets disrupt your network in any way, disable loop prevention.
・Loop prevention cannot detect or block all types of loops.
Turning Loop Prevention On and Off
Use the switch on the front of the BS-GU2024 to turn loop prevention on
or o.
When a Loop Is Detected
Reconnect your Ethernet cabling, making sure that there are no redundant
connections.

Troubleshooting
If you are unable to connect to a network, check the following.
• Is the power cable connected correctly? Also, is the power cable
plugged into an outlet or surge protector?
• Is the Ethernet cable connected correctly? Are any cables disconnected
or broken?
• Is the link/act LED on? If not, manually set the communication mode of
the connected device to 100 Mbps half duplex or 10 Mbps half duplex.
