3 Quick start guide

This section provides the basic instructions to set up the GigaX environment.
Refer also to the GigaX Series Installation Guide.

Part 1 shows you how to install the GigaX on a flat surface or on a rack.
Part 2 provides instructions to set up the hardware.
Part 3 shows you how to configure basic settings on the GigaX.

Obtain the following inf orma tion fro m your net work ad ministrat or bef ore
proceeding:

IP address for the switch
Default gateway for the network
Network mask for this network

3.1 Part 1 — Installing the hardware

Connect the device to the power outlet, and your computer or network.
Figure 4 illustrates the hardware connections.

3.1.1 Installing the switch on a flat surface

The switch should be installed on a lev el surface that can support the weight of
the switches and their accessories. Attach four rubber pads on the marked
location on the bottom of the switch.

3.1.2 Mounting the switch on a rack

1. Attach brackets to each side of the switch and make the posts insert to
the switch.

2. Insert and tighten two screws to securely attach the bracket to the rack
on each side.

18

GigaX Series L2 Managed Switch User Guide

3.2 Part 2 — Setting up the switch

Connect the device to the power outlet, and your computer or network. See
Figure 4.

3.2.1 Connect the console port

For console management, use an RS232 (DB9) or a USB cable to connect
the switch. If you want to use WEB interface, connect your PC to the switch
using the Ethernet cable.

3.2.2 Connect to the computers or a LAN

You can use Ethernet cable to connect computers dire ctly to the switch ports.
You can also connect hubs/switches to the switch ports by Ethernet cables.
You can use either the crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable to connect
computers, hubs, or switches.

Use a twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the
1000BASE-T port. Otherwise, the link speed can not reach
1Gbps.

3.2.3 Attach the RPS module

Connect your RPS module to the RPS jack and make sure the other end of the
RPS is connected to the power cord. Connect to the power cord to a grounded
power outlet.

3.2.4 Attach the power adapter

1. Connect the AC power cord to the POWER receptacle on the back of
the switch and plug the other end of the power cord into a wall outlet or
a power strip.

2. Check the front LED indicators with the description in Table 4. If the
LEDs light up as described, the switch hardware is working properly.

3.3 Part 3 — Basic switch setting for

management

After completing the hardware connections, configure the basic settings for
your switch. You can manage the switch using the following methods:

• Web interface: the switch has a set of pages to allow to you manage it
using Java

®

-enabled IE5.0 or higher version.

• Command Line Interface: use console port to manage the switch.

3.3.1 Setting up through the console port

1. Use the supplied crossover RS-232 cable to connect to the console
port on the back of the switch. This port is a male DB-9 connector,
implemented as a data terminal equipment (DTE) connection. Tighten
the retaining screws on the cable to secure it on the connector.
Connect the other end of the cable to a PC running terminal emulation
software. e.g Hyper Terminal.

2. Use the supplied USB cable to connect to a PC. You have to install the
USB driver from the switch CD-ROM before the USB can work properly.
The USB drivers will simulate an additional COM port under Windows
Me/2K/XP OS.

21

GigaX Series L2 Managed Switch User’s Guide

3. Make sure the settings of your terminal emulation software as follows:
a) Choose the appropriate serial port number
b) Set the data baud rate to 9600
c) Set the data format to no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit
d) No flow control
e) Set VT1000 for emulation mode

4. After setting up the terminal, you can see the prompt “(ASUS)%” on the

terminal.

5. Type “login” to access the command line interface. The default user

name is “admin”. Skip the password by pressing <Enter>.

You can change the password at any time through CLI (see
section 5.3.1). To protect your switch from unauthorized

6. Follow these steps to assign an IP address to the switch:
a) Type “net interface ip sw0 <your ip address> <your network

mask>”. For example, if your switch IP is 192.168.10.1 and the
network mask is 255.255.255.0. Then you should type “net
interface ip sw0 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0”.

access, you must change the default password as soon as
possible.

b) If the switch has to be managed across networks, then a default

gateway or a static route entry is required. Type “net route static
add 0.0.0.0 <your network gateway IP> 0.0.0.0 1// as your default
route entry, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Login and IP setup Screen

22

GigaX Series L2 Managed Switch User Guide

3.3.2 Setting up through the Web interface

To successfully connect your PC to the switch, your PC must a valid IP in your
network. Contact your network admini strator t o obtai n a valid IP f or the switch.
If you wish to change the default IP address of the swit ch, follow secti on 3.3.1
to change the IP address. Since the switch does not support DHCP client
function, a valid static IP for the switch i s necessary to u se Web int erface.

1. It is not necessary to login Web interface at the first time to use Web
interface because the default configuration for Web access
authentication is disabled. To secure the system configuration, please
enable the authentication function at the “Administration” page under
“System” category. Skip step 2 if the authentication is disabled.

2. At any PC connected to the network that the switch can access , open
your Web browser (Internet Explorer), and type the following URL in the
address/location box, and press <Enter>:

http://192.168.1.1

This is the factory default IP address of the switch.
A login screen appears, as shown in Figure 6.

Default Password: (no password)

You can change the password at any time (see section

5.3.1 System Commands).

3. To setup a new IP address, click “System”, then “IP Setup” (see Figure

8). Fill in the IP address, network mask and default gateway, then click
.

4. If your new address is different from the default, the browser can not
update the switch status window or retrieve any page. This is normal.
You have to retype the new IP address in the address/location box, and
press <Enter>. The WEB link returns.

5. To enable authentication for Web access, click “Administration” on
the menu list, then select “Enabled” to start the protection.
