The Belkin Wall Mount Belkin provides an adapter that will allow the Switch to be mounted to the wall.
Connecting a Simple Network Connecting a Simple Network Connecting multiple computers in your home or office via a network switch lets you cooperate, collaborate, and make the most of your hardware. You can share files and printers and even access the Internet from every computer in your network. While networking was once a complicated matter, Windows 95, 98 and later versions, along with hardware and software like Belkin networking products have made networking very easy to do.
Connecting a Simple Network To connect your computers to the Belkin Switch, each computer must be equipped with a network interface card/adapter such as an internal PCI card (for desktop computers), a PC card (for notebook computers), or a USB Ethernet adapter (an alternative to opening up your PC; for USB-equipped computers only). Each computer connects to the Belkin Switch via a CAT5 networking cable. You will need one networking cable for each PC. 1.
