1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the FM2008/2009 SNMP/Web Managed Switch.
The FM2008/2009 switches are compact desktop-sized switches that are
an ideal solution for the SOHO (Small Office or Home Office) network user.
They provide full wire-speed, Fast Ethernet switching that allows a
high-performance, low-cost connection. Each switch features
store-and-forward switching and can auto-learn and store source
addresses on an 8K-entry MAC address table
.

Figure 1-1. The FriendlyNET FM2009 Switch

The FM2008/2009 both provide 8 switched, auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports. Each switch will automatically detect the speed of the device(s) connected to it, allowing the user to use both 10 and 100Mbps legacy devices. The 10Mbps bandwidth will accommodate 10Mbps workgroup hubs while simultaneously providing the 100Mbps bandwidth needed to accommodate multimedia applications. In addition, each RJ-45 port supports Auto MDI/MDI-X function.
The FM2009 switch also provides one 100Base-FX fiber port. Four types of fiber connectors are available: SC, MT-RJ, VF-45 (multi-mode), and SC (single-mode). The fiber port can be used to connect to a remote site up to 2 kilometers (multi-mode) or 15–60 kilometers (SC single-mode) away.
5 User’s Manual
With its built-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring the switch is easy: From cabinet management to port-level control and monitoring, the user can visually configure and manage the network via a web browser. Just click your mouse instead of typing command strings. However, the switch can also be managed via telnet, console, or SNMP management.

• Web-based Management
• SNMP Network Management
Console and Telnet Management
Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the switch in this method requires a direct connection
7 User’s Manual
between the computer and the switch, while Telnet management is done over the network. Once the switch is on the network, use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.
Note: The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.1. Both the default user name and the default password are root.
Web Based Management
The switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory. It offers advanced management features and allows users to manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to
remotely manage network devices, and to monitor statistics, performance,
and security.

2. Hardware Description

This section describes the hardware of the FM2008 and 2009. (The
model shown is the FM2009. The FM2008 is identical, except that
there is no fiber uplink port.)
Front Panel
The front panel of the switch consists of 8 auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports (automatic MDI/MDI-X), one 100Base-FX fiber port, and the LED indicators.

12 User’s Manual
Console Port: Switch management can be done through the console port. It requires a direct connection between the switch and an end station (PC) via an RS-232 cable.
Desktop Installation
Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy.
Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Feet
1. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the switch is grease and dust free.
2. Remove adhesive backing from the rubber feet (supplied).
3. Apply the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch. These footpads can prevent the switch from shock/vibration.
Installation Into an Equipment Rack
To mount the switch into an equipment rack:
1. Place the switch on a flat, stable surface.
2. Locate a rack-mounting bracket (supplied) and place it over the
mounting holes on one side of the unit.
3. Use the screws (supplied) to secure the bracket (with a Phillips
screwdriver).
4. Repeat the two previous steps on the other side of the unit.
5. Place the switch in the equipment rack.
6. Secure the switch by securing its mounting brackets onto the
equipment rack.

cause the unit to fall, which may result in personal injury or damage to the
unit.
Make sure the unit is supported until all of the mounting screws
Equipment Rack Guidelines
• Size: 10.0 x 5.2 x 1.5 inches
• Ventilation: Ensure that the rack is installed in a room in which the
temperature remains below 40° C (104° F). Be sure that no
obstructions, such as other equipment or cables, block airflow to or
from the vents
• Clearance: In addition to providing clearance for ventilation, ensure
that adequate clearance for servicing the switch from the front exists
Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the switch. The other side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The internal power supply in the switch works with AC in the voltage ranges 100-240VAC, frequency 50–60Hz.
Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.

3. Console Management

This chapter explains how to configure console management via a direct connection to the console port of the switch.
Console management involves the administration of the switch via a direct connection to the RS-232 console port. This port is a female DB-9 connector. From the main menu of the console program, user has access to manage the functions of the switch.
Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port
Figure 3-1. Connecting the switch to a terminal via an RS-232 cable
Use the supplied RS-232 cable to connect a terminal or PC to the console port. The terminal or PC to be connected must support the terminal emulation program.
After the connection between the switch and the PC is finished, turn on the PC and run a terminal emulation program such as Hyper Terminal to match the following default characteristics of the console port:
