This managed industrial switch comes equipped with a proprietary
redundant network protocol—X-Ring which provides an easy way to
establish a redundant Ethernet network. With ultra high-speed recovery
time (less than 300 ms) and a long MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)
the industrial switch will continue to operate until a Gigabit network
infrastructure has been established, without requiring extra upgrade
costs.
In addition to10/100/1000Base-TX fast Ethernet ports, the switch has
SFP (mini-GBIC) ports. Traditiona l RJ-4 5 por ts can be us ed fo r up l inking
short distance (less than 100 m) wide-band paths, while the SFP slots
can be used for the application of wideband uploading and long distance
transmissions adding flexibility.
All ports on this industrial switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation.
You can use straight-through cables (See Figure below) for all network
connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. In
straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are
connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the
cable. The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port
pin outs are as tabled below.
Pin MDI-X Signal Name MDI Signal Name
1 Receive Data plus (RD+) Transmit Data plus (TD+)

Use the four twisted-pair, Category 5e or above cabling for RJ-45 port
connection. The cable between the switch and the link partner (switch,
hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver
used in optical communications for both telecommunication and data
communication applications.
Follow these steps to connect the transceiver and LC Cable:
First, insert the transceiver into the SFP module. A triangle is marked on
the bottom of the module.
2. Ensure the DIN-Rail is tightly screwed to the Industrial switch. If not,
refer to DIN-Rail Mounting section for DIN-Rail installation. To panel
mount the Industrial switch, refer to Panel Mounting section.
3. Apply power to the switch (refer to the Wiring the Power Inputs
section). The power LED will light.
4. Connect CAT 5 cables to the Industrial switch’s RJ-45 ports and to the
network devices.
[NOTE] If the network devices do not support MID/MDIX, a
crossover cable may be required.

5. Connect the fiber optic cables to the industrial switch and network device.
Ensure that the switch’s fiber optic transmitter is connected to the
network devices receiver and vice versa.
6. Connect the fiber optic cables.
7. When all the connections are made and the LEDs show normal
indications, the installation is complete.
X-Ring Application
This switch incorporates the X-Ring Protocol to ensure network reliability
and system restoration within 300 ms in the event of a connection failure.
The X-Ring algorithm is similar to the spanning tree protocol (STP)
algorithm but it has faster recovery time. The following figure below is an
example of an X-Ring application.
If the network has more than one X-Ring group, the coupling ring function is
used to connect them and add redundancy. This ensur es that transmiss ions
between the two ring groups will not fail. The figure below is an example of
the coupling ring application.
Dual Homing Application
The Dual Homing function is used to prevent a connection loss between the
X-Ring group and the upper level/core switch. Assign a port in each X-ring
group to be the Dual Homing ports The Dual Homing function can only be
used when the X-Ring function is active. Each X-Ring group can have one
Dual Homing port. Note: The upper level switches must have RSTP
enabled.

The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized
method for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link. This
allows their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach an agreement on
the identity of the Link Aggregation Group, move the link to that Link
Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in
an orderly manner. Link aggregation lets you group up to four consecutive
ports into two dedicated connections. This feature expands bandwidth to a
device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode.

3. LACP: If enabled, the group is an LACP static trunk group. If disabled,
the group is local static trunk group. All ports support LACP dynamic
trunk. If connected to a device that also supports LACP, the LACP
dynamic trunk group is automatically created.
4. Work ports: A maximum of four ports can be aggregated at the same
time. With LACP static trunk group, any excess ports are considered
standby and can be aggregated if a work port fails. If it is local static

Active: The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.
Passive: The port responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets
from the opposite device.
Note 1. A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can
perform dynamic LACP trunk.
2. A link, which has two passive LACP ports, will not perform dynamic
LACP trunk because both ports are waiting for an LACP protocol
packet from the opposite device.
Port mirroring is a method to monitor traffic in switched networks. Traffic
flowing through the indicated ports can be monitored by a specified port.
Destination Port: Only one port can be selected as the destination
(mirror) port for monitoring both RX and TX traffic from the source port.
Two ports may be configured to monitor RX and TX traffic separately. A
LAN analyzer can be connected to the mirror port.
Source Port: Select the ports to monitor. All monitored port traffic will
be sent to the mirror (destination) port. Multiple source ports by can be
selected by checking the RX or TX check boxes.

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) can be thought of as a broadcast domain that exists
within a switch or a defined set of switches. By grouping switch ports into
VLANs, traffic flooding is limited since devices can only communicate
directly with devices belonging to the VLAN. Creating a VLAN from a switch
is the logical equivalent of reconnecting a group of devices to another Layer
2 switch. However, the network devices retain their same physical
connection. The switch supports port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based)
VLAN. In the default configuration, the VLAN option is disabled.
VLAN Configuration interface
VLAN configuration - Port-based VLAN
With port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a VLAN. Therefore, all
devices attached to a given port should be members of the same VLAN. As
with other VLAN configurations, the packets forwarded using this method do
not leak into other VLAN domains on the network. After the port has been
assigned to a VLAN, devices on the port cannot send to or receive from
devices in other VLANs without the intervention of another layer 3 device or
the ability to tag the data packet with a specific PVID.

Note If the configuration is not saved, it will be lost when the switch is
powered off.
802.1Q VLAN
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification, which allows VLANs
to be created across devices from different venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
uses a technique to insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frame. The tag contains a
VLAN Identifier (VID).
When the 802.1Q VLAN is enabled, all ports on the switch belong to a
default VLAN (VID 1). The default VLAN cannot be deleted. Up to 64 VLAN
groups are supported.

The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evoluti on of Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP). It provides a faster spanning tree convergence after a
topology change. The s w i t c h w ill auto det ec t a device th at is running STP or
RSTP protocol.

¾ RSTP mode: Enable or disable the RSTP.
¾ Priority (0-61440): a value used to identify the root bridge. The
bridge with the lowest value has the highest priority an d is selected
as the root. If the value changes, the switch must be rebooted. The
value must be multiple of 4096.
.
¾Max Age (6-40): The number of seconds a bridge waits without
receiving Spanning-tree Protocol configuration messages before
attempting a reconfiguration. Enter a value between 6 through 40
1. Path Cost: The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting
bridge at the specified port. Enter a number 1 through 200000000.
2. Priority: Network priority. Enter a number between 0 and 240. The value
must be a multiple of 16.
3. P2P: Some of the rapid state transactions that are possible within RSTP
are dependent upon whether the port concerned can only be connected
to exactly one other bridge (i.e. it is served by a point-to-point LAN
segment), or can be connected to two or more bridges (i.e. it is served
by a shared medium LAN segment). This function allows the P2P status
of the link to be manipulated administratively. True is P2P enabled.
False is P2P disabled.
4. Edge: The port directly connected to the end stations cannot create a
bridging loop in the network. To configure the port as an edge port, set
the port to ‘True’ status.
5. Non STP: Set True to disable ST P mathematic calculation. Set False to
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol developed to
manage nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches, hubs, etc.) on an
IP network. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network
performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.
Network management systems learn of problems by receiving traps or
change notices from network devices implementing SNMP.

¾ Use an 8,4,2,1 weighted fair queuing scheme: The switch will
follow 8:4:2:1 rate to process the priority queue from the highest to
the lowest queue. For example, when processing, 1 frame of the
lowest queue, 2 frames of the low queue, 4 frames of the middle
queue, and 8 frames of the high queue will be processed at the
same time.
¾Use the strict priority scheme: The highest queue will always

Priority Type: there are five priority selections available.
Port-base: the port priority will follow the assigned Port-base – High,
middle, low, or lowest.
¾COS Only: the port priority will only follow the COS priority
assigned.
¾TOS only: the port priority will only follow the TOS priority
assigned.
¾COS first: the port priority will follow the COS priority first, and
then the other priority rule.
¾TOS first: the port priority will follow the TOS priority first, and then
COS priority: Set up the COS priority level 0 to 7 –High, Middle, Low,
Lowest.

.
TOS Configuration
TOS priority: the system provides 0 to 63 TOS priority levels. Each
level has four types of priority – high, midd le, low, and lowest. The default
value is ‘Lowest’. When an IP packet is received, the system will check the
TOS level value in the IP packet. For example, if the TOS level 25 is high
and the port is following the TOS priority policy only, when a packet is
received, the system will check the TOS value of the received IP packet. If
the TOS value of received IP packet is 25(priority = high), then the packet
will have highest priority.

IGMP Configuration
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of
the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. IP manages multicast traffic by using
switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows the
ports to detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast
traffic through the switch. IGMP has three fundamental types of message.
X-Ring provides network redundancy similar to the Spanning Tree and
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocols. However, recovery time is greatly reduced
when the X-Ring protocol is used. The protocol identifies one switch as the
Ring Master. Packets are blocked from the redundant path unless a ring
member becomes disconnected from the rest of the network. When this
happens, the protocol automatically restores connectivity using the
redundant path.
In the X-Ring topology, every switch should enable X-Ring function and
assign two member ports to the r ing. Only one switch in the X-Ring gr oup
would be set as the backup switch. Other switches are called working
switches and their two member ports are called working ports. If a network
connection failure occurs, the backup port will automatically become a
working port to recover.
The switch can be set in the ring master or slave mode. The ring master
negotiates and places commands to the other switches in the X-Ring group.
If there are two or more switches in the master mode, the software will
select the switch with lowest MAC address number as the ring master. The
X-Ring master mode is enabled using the X-Ring configuration interface.
The Ring Master can also be identified using the R.M. LED on the front of
the switch.
The switch also supports coupling ring to connect two or more X-Ring
groups for redundant backup. The dual homing function is used to prevent a
connection lose between the X-Ring group and the upper level/core switch.
Enable X-Ring: Mark the check box to enable the X-Ring function.
Enable Ring Master: Mark the check box to set the switch as the Ring
Master.
st
1
& 2nd Ring Ports: Assign two ports as the member ports. 1st Ring
Ring Port fails, the system will automatically upgrade the 2nd Ring
Port to be the working port.
Enable Coupling Ring: Mark the check box to enable the coupling ring
function.
Coupling port: Assign the member port.
Control port: Set the switch as the master switch in the coupling ring.
Enable Dual Homing: Set up one of port on the switch to be the Dual
Homing port. In an X-Ring group, only one port can be the Dual Homing
port. Dual Homing only works when the X-Ring function is enabled.

Note 1. When X-Ring function is enabled, disable the RSTP function. X-Ring
and RSTP cannot exist at the same time.
2. If the configuration is not saved, it will be lost when the switch is

In this section, you can configure 802.1x and MAC address table.
802.1X/Radius Configuration
802.1x is an IEEE authentication specification that allows a client to connect
to a wireless access point or wired switch but prevents the client from
gaining access to the Internet until it proves authority by providing a user
name and password, which is verified by a separate server.
System Configuration
1. IEEE 802.1x Protocol: Enable or disable 802.1x protocol.
2. Radius Server IP: Enter the Radius Server IP address.
3. Server Port: Enter the UDP destination port for authentication requests
to the Radius Server.
4. Accounting Port: Enter the UDP destination port for accounting
requests to the Radius Server.
5. Shared Key: Enter an encryption key for use during authentication
sessions. This key must match the encryption key used on the Radius
Server.
6. NAS, Identifier: Enter the identifier of the radius client.
You can configure 802.1x authentication state for each port. The State
choices are Disable, Accept, Reject and Authorize. Use the ‘Space’ key

Uses the MAC address table to ensure the port security.
Static MAC Address
You can add a static MAC address. This address remains in the switch's
address table, regardless of whether the device is physically connected to
the switch. Therefore, the switch does not have to re-learn a device's MAC
address when the disconnected or powered-off device reconnects to the
network. You can add / modify / delete a static MAC address.
