Chapter 1 Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of the FriendlyNET GX5-424W 24+4 WebManaged Gigabit Ethernet switch. This device integrates 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and 10 Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package.
The versatile GX5 uses its on-board CPU to take the complexity out of configuring a workgroup. Using any popular web browser, you’re only a few clicks of your mouse away from enabling high­end services, like trunking, mirroring, virtual LANs (VLANs) and quality of service (QoS).
Highlights
• 24 × 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports
• 2 × 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating Gigabit RJ45 ports
• 2 × SFP Mini-GBIC ports
• Up to 4000 unicast addresses entities per device, self-learning, and table aging
• 1152 KB total buffer
• Supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full duplex mode ports; back pressure flow control for
half duplex mode ports
• Supports port-based VLAN and QoS
• Supports trunking on 1000BaseT ports
• Supports port mirroring
• Supports port-settings for speed/disable and flow control
• Easy configuration via web browser
• Easy monitoring via GX5W Management Utility for Windows
• Standard 19" rackmount size (rackmount kit included)
Chapter 2 Unpacking and Installation
This chapter provides unpacking and installation information for the GX5-424W switch.
Unpacking
Open the shipping cartons of the GX5-424W switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items:
• One FriendlyNET GX5-424W WebManaged switch
• One AC power cord, suitable for your area’s electrical power connections
• Four rubber feet to be used for desktop mounting
• Screws and two mounting brackets
• CD-ROM with GX5W Management Utility and User’s Manual
• Quick Start Guide
If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
Installation
The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:
• Install the GX5-424W switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See “Technical Specifications” for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
• Install the GX5-424W switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight
• Leave at least 4" of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation
• Install the GX5-424W switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an
EIA standard-size equipment rack
• When installing the GX5-424W switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet protect the bottom of the switch.
Rack Mounting
The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19" rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the screws provided.
Figure 1. Secure the mounting brackets with the screws provided.
Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.
Figure 2. Mount the GX5-424W switch in the rack.
Connecting Network Cable
The GX5-424W switch supports 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet and runs both in half and full duplex mode using Category 5 cable.
The GX5-424W switch also supports 2 port 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet that runs in auto­negotiation mode and 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet that runs both in half and full duplex mode and 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet runs in full duplex mode using four pair of Category 5 Cable.
These RJ45 ports support Auto-Uplink. The switch can automatically detect and correct common wiring errors; you can use either standard or crossover RJ45 Category 5 UTP cable.
An additional 2-port SFP Mini-GBIC slot is included for an optional SFP Mini-GBIC module.
AC Power
The GX5-424W switch uses the AC power supply 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz. The power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC power connector and the system fan. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.
Chapter 3 Identifying External Components
This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED indicators of the GX5-424W switch.
Front Panel
The figure below shows the front panel of the GX5-424W switch.
Figure 3. Front panel of the FriendlyNET GX5-424W 24+4 WebManaged switch.
LED Indicator
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network (see the following “LED Indicators” chapter).
Fast Ethernet Ports (Ports 1-24)
These ports support network speeds of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, and can operate in half and full duplex transfer modes. These ports also supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function and give true “plug-and-play” capability. Just plug in the network cable to the hub directly. The end node may be a Network Interface Card (NIC), switch, or hub.
Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Ports 25–26)
The GX5-424W switch is equipped with two Gigabit twisted pair ports, supporting auto-negotiable 10/100/1000 Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection function. These two ports can operate in half duplex mode for 10/100 Mbps and full duplex mode for 10/100/1000 Mbps.
SFP Mini-GBIC Ports (Ports 27–28)
The GX5-424W switch is equipped with 2 SFP Mini-GBIC ports and a supporting optional 1000BaseSX/LX SFP Mini-GBIC module.
Note: When the port is set to “Forced Mode,” the Auto MDI/MDIX will be disabled.
Rear Panel

Power Switch
You can enable or disable the power with this switch.
AC Power Connector
This three-pronged connector supports the power cord. Plug in the female connector of the provided power cord into this connector, and the male into a power outlet. Supported input voltages range from 100–240 VAC at 50–60Hz.
Reset to Factory Default
This button resets all the settings back to the factory default, including:
• IP Address: 192.168.123.253
• Password: admin
Note: Be sure to record the settings of your device. All of the settings will be erased when the reset button is pressed.
Chapter 4 Understanding LED Indicators
The front panel LEDs provide instant status feedback, helping to monitor and troubleshoot when needed.
