2.2.3 Installing the SFP transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot.
The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port without having to power down the Managed Switch. As the Figure 2-10 appears.
Figure 2-10: Plug-in the SFP transceiver
Approved PLANET SFP Transceivers
PLANET Managed switches supports both single mode and multi mode SFP transceiver. The following list of approved PLANET SFP transceivers is correct at the time of publication:
1000Base-SX/LX SFP transceiver:
MGB-SX SFP (1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver – Multi mode / 220m)
MGB-LX SFP (1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver - Single Mode / 10km)
MGB-L30 SFP (1000Base-LX SFP transceiver – Single Mode / 30Km)
MGB-L50 SFP (1000Base-LX SFP transceiver - Single Mode / 50Km)
It recommends using PLANET SFPs on the Switch. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is not supported, the Managed Switch will not recognize it.
Before connect the other switches, workstation or Media Converter.
1.Make sure both side of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to 1000Base-SX, 1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX.
2.Check the fiber-optic cable type match the SFP transceiver model.
To connect to 1000Base-SX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cablewith one side must be male duplex LC connector type.

User’s Manual of FGSW-2620VM / FGSW-2620PVM
¾ To connect to 1000Base-LX SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable-with one side must be male
duplex LC connector type.
Connect the fiber cable
1.Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver.
2.Connect the other end of the cable to a device – switches with SFP installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or a Media Converter..
3.Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating correctly.
4.Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link failed. Co works with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, set the Link mode to “1000 Force” is needed.
Remove the transceiver module
1.Make sure there is no network activity by consult or check with the network administrator. Or through the management interface of the switch/converter (if available) to disable the port in advance.
2.Remove the Fiber Optic Cable gently.
3.Turn the handle of the MGB module to horizontal.
4.Pull out the module gently through the handle.
Figure 2-11: Pull out the SFP transceiver
Never pull out the module without pull the handle or the push bolts on the module. Direct pull out the module with violent could damage the module and SFP module slot of the Managed Switch.

3.3 Web Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. After you set up your IP address for the switch, you can access the Managed Switch's Web interface applications directly in your Web browser by entering the IP address of the Managed Switch.
Figure 3-1: Web management
You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Switch configuration parameters from one central location, just as if you were directly connected to the Managed Switch's console port. Web Management requires either
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, Safari or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later.

3.4 SNMP-Based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch, such as SNMPc Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’sup Gold. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Net-work management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default gets and sets community strings for the Managed Switch are public.
Figure 3-3: SNMP management
3.5 Administration Console (FGSW-2620PVM)
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user interface for performing system administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the switch's console (serial) port. There are two ways to use this management method: via direct access or modem port access. The following sections describe these methods. For more information about using the console, refer to Chapter 5 Console Management.
