Note
The SFP/Copper Combo port can be used at one time either. The
SFP port has the higher priority than copper port; if you insert the
1000M SFP transceiver into the SFP port which is connected to
the remote device, the connection of the accompanying copper
port will link down.
If you insert the 100M SFP transceiver into the SFP port even
without a fiber connection to the remote, the connection of the
accompanying copper port will link down immediately.
2 Gigabit Copper/SFP (Mini-GBIC) combo port:
The Industrial switch has two auto-detected Giga port—UTP/STP/Fiber
combo ports. The Gigabit Copper (10/100/1000T) ports should use
Category 5e or above UTP/STP cable for the connection up to 1000Mbps.
The SFP slots supporting dual mode can switch the connection speed
between 100 and 1000Mbps. They are for connecting to the network
segment with single or multi-mode fiber. You can choose the appropriate
mini-GBIC module to plug into the slots. You can use proper multi-mode or
single-mode fiber according to the used SFP module. With fiber optic, it
transmits speed up to 1000 Mbps and you can prevent noise interference
from the system and transmission distance up to 110 km, depending on the
mini-GBIC module.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used
in optical communications for both telecommunication and data
communications applications.
Twisted-pair segment can be established by using unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. The cable between the link
partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) and the converter must be less than
100 meters (328 ft.) long and comply with the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T
standard for Category 5e or above.
Fiber segment using single-mode connector type must use 9/125μm
single-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices in the distance of 10
km. Fiber segment using multi-mode connector type must use 50/125 or
62.5/125μm multi-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices up to
550m distances.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used
in optical communications for both telecommunication and data
communication applications.
To connect the transceiver and LC cable, please follow the steps shown
below:
First, insert the transceiver into the SFP module. Notice that the triangle
mark is the bottom of the module.
Transceiver to the SFP module

Make sure the module is aligned correctly and then slide the module into the
SFP slot until a click is heard.
Transceiver Inserted
Second, insert the fiber cable of LC connector into the transceiver.
Insert the wires into the fault alarm contact (No. 3 & 4)
[NOTE] Use 12 to 24 AWG wire.
[NOTE] Relay contacts are normally closed.
[NOTE] The Relay Alarm also requires software configuration. Refer to the

Network Application
This chapter provides some sample applications to help user to have more
actual idea of industrial switch function application. The following figure is a
sample application of the industrial switch.
X-Ring Application
The industrial switch supports the X-Ring protocol that can help the network
system to recovery from network connection failure within 300ms or less,
and make the network system more reliable. The X-Ring algorithm is like as
spanning tree protocol (STP)algorithm but it has faster recovery time than
STP. The following figure is a sample X-Ring application.
In the network, it may have more than one X-Ring group. By using the
coupling ring function can connect each X-Ring for the redundant backup. It
can ensure the transmissions between two ring groups will no failure. The
following figure is a sample of coupling ring application.
30
Dual Homing Application
Dual Homing function is to prevent the connection lose between X-Ring
group and upper level/core switch. Assign two ports to be the Dual Homing
port that is backup port in the X-Ring group. The Dual Homing function only
work when the X-Ring function is active. Each X-Ring group only has one
Dual Homing port.
[NOTE] In Dual Homing application architecture, the upper level switches
need to enable the Rapid Spanning Tree protocol.
The supplied cable which one end is RS-232 connector and the other end is
RJ-45 connector. Attach the end of RS-232 connector to PC or terminal and
the other end of RJ-45 connector to the console port of the switch. The
connected terminal or PC must support the terminal emulation program.

DHCP Server – System configuration
DHCP is the abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol that is a
protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With
dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it
connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can
even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static
and dynamic IP addresses. Dynamic addressing simplifies network
administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather
than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means that a new
computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually
assigning it a unique IP address.
The system provides the DHCP server function. Enable the DHCP server
function, the switch system will be a DHCP server.
DHCP Server: Enable or Disable the DHCP Server function.

range between 192.168.1.100 ~ 192.168.1.200. In contrast,
192.168.1.100 is the Low IP address.
High IP Address: Type in an IP address. High IP address is the end of
the dynamic IP range. For example, dynamic IP is in the range between
192.168.1.100 ~ 192.168.1.200. In contrast, 192.168.1.200 is the High
IP address.
Subnet Mask: Type in the subnet mask of the IP configuration.

The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized
means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to
allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the
identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, 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 4 ports into one dedicated connections. This feature can expand
bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires
full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE 802.3ad.

ports first. When disabled, the trunk group is a static trunk group. The
advantage of having the LACP disabled is that a port joins the trunk
group without any handshaking with its member ports. But member
ports won‘t know that they should be aggregated together to form a
logic trunk group.

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast
domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the
members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same
VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of
reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
However, all the network devices are still plugged into the same switch
physically.
The switch supports Port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The
default configuration of VLAN operation mode is ―Disable‖.
VLAN Configuration interface
VLAN configuration - Port-based VLAN
Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all
unselected ports are treated as belonging to another single VLAN. If the
port-based VLAN enabled, the VLAN-tagging is ignored.
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLAN groups, it itself
has to be either capable of tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or
attached to a VLAN-aware bridge that is capable of classifying and tagging
the packet with different VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also

other information about the packet, such as the protocol.
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore,
it is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders.
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a ―tag‖ into the Ethernet
frames. Tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN
numbers.
You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol.
There are 256 VLAN groups to provide configuration. Enable 802.1Q VLAN,
all ports on the switch belong to default VLAN of VID 1. The default VLAN
can‘t be deleted.
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a protocol that facilitates
control of virtual local area networks (VLANs) within a larger network. GVRP
conforms to the IEEE 802.1Q specification, which defines a method of
tagging frames with VLAN configuration data. This allows network devices
to dynamically exchange VLAN configuration information with other devices.
GVRP is based on GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol), a
protocol that defines procedures by which end stations and switches in a
local area network (LAN) can register and de-register attributes, such as
identifiers or addresses, with each other.
Every end station and switch thus has a current record of all the other end
stations and switches that can be reached.
GVRP, like GARP, eliminates unnecessary network traffic by preventing
attempts to transmit information to unregistered users. In addition, it is
necessary to manually configure only one switch and all the other switches
will be configured accordingly.
