and broadband network. The following sections introduce some typical application cases of it.
1.2.1 Networking of Residential Area for Broadband Ethernet Access
In the networking of residential area with broadband Ethernet access, STCS5024 Series Routing Switches are located in the
residential area center. It connects to Ethernet users via the L2 switches such as STES2026 Switch. Its Uplink is connected to the
core L3 switch through the GE extended module and thus connected to the MAN backbone.
1.2.2 Networking of Medium/Small Enterprise or Large Enterprise Branch
In the medium/small enterprises or the branches of large enterprises, STCS5024 Series Routing Switches can serve as the
backbone switch, which is connected to the head office or other branches through the router. As the enterprise or organization
scale grows, STCS5024 Series Routing Switches can provide the larger scale backbone by cascade.
1.2.3 Networking of Large Enterprise and Campus
In large-scale enterprise networks and campus networks, STCS5024 Series Routing Switches are located on the convergence layer
and connected to several L2 Ethernet switches such as STES2026 Switch on the downlink and the backbone GE switch via the GE
extended port on the uplink. In this way, STCS5024 Series Routing Switches provide a complete enterprise networking solution,
which provides 1000M bandwidth to backbone and 100M bandwidth to desktop users.

Chapter 3 Installation Preparation
3.1 Precautions
To avoid any device impairment and bodily injury due to improper use, please follow the precautions listed below:
Before cleaning the switch, please unplug the switch connector first. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or with
liquid.
Do not place the switch near water or any damp area. Try as much as possible to prevent water and moisture from
entering the switch chassis.
Do not place the switch on the unstable cases or desktop, as the switch might be damaged severely in case of a fall.
Ensure proper ventilation of the room and keep the switch ventilation hole free of obstruction.
The switch can operate normally under correct voltage input. Make sure that the operating voltage is consistent with
that labeled on the switch.
Do not open the chassis while the switch is in operation to protect the safe of the operator and the switch.
3.2 Requirements on Environment
Switch should be used indoors. The following requirements must be met irrespective of whether you install the switch in
19-inch standard cabinet or install it directly on the workbench.
Make sure that enough room is left for the ventilation hole of the switch so as to ensure the heat dissipation of the
switch chassis.
Make sure that the drafting and heat dissipation systems of the cabinet and the workbench are good.
Make sure that the cabinet and the workbench are stable enough to bear the weight of the switch and the accessories.
STCS5024 Full Gigabit Layer 3 switch Installation Guide

www.stephen-tele.com
Make sure that the cabinet and the workbench are well grounded.
To ensure normal operation and prolong the service life of the switch, the requirements on the installation site described in
the following sections must also be met.
3.2.1 Temperature/Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and service life of a switch, you need to maintain the temperature and the humidity of the
equipment room at a certain level. If the humidity level in the equipment room is too high for a long time, it will lead to bad
insulation of the insulating material or even leakage. Sometimes, the mechanical performance, change of material and the
corrosion of some metal parts are also likely to occur. If the relative humidity is too low, the captive screw may become
loose due to the shrinking of insulating sheath. Meanwhile, the static electricity is likely to be produced in the dry weather,
which may jeopardize the CMOS circuit of the switch. The Higher the temperature is, the greater the damage to the switch
will be. The reliability of the switch will be then seriously affected and its service span will be shortened because of
exposure to high-temperature environment for a long term. The ultra-high temperature will speed up the aging process of
the insulating material.
3.2.2 Laser Safety
In operating status, it is prohibited to stare into the open optical interface because the laser being transmitted through the
optical fiber will produces a small beam of light, it has very high power density and is invisible to human eyes, when a beam
of light enters the eye, retinal may be burned.
֠֠֠֠Caution:
Staring at the laser beam inside the fiber could hurt your eyes.

Chapter 4 Installation
4.1 Hardware Installation
4.1.1 Installing the Switch in 19-inch Standard Cabinet
Take the following steps to install the switch:
Step 1: Check the grounding and stability of the cabinet. Attach the angle iron at both sides of the front or rear panel with
screws.
Step 2: Place Switch on a shelf of the cabinet. In accordance with the actual cases, slide switch along the guiding slots of the
cabinet to an appropriate position. Ensure that there is proper clearance between the Switch and the guides.
Step 3: Use screws to attach the angle iron on the fixed cable guides at both sides of the cabinet. Make sure that switch is
securely mounted on the cabinet with the brackets of cabinet slots and the mounting angle iron of the switch.
4.1.2 Installing the switch on the Workbench
If 19-inch standard cabinet is not available, you may simply place the switch on a clean workbench. However, you need to
pay attention to the followings during such operation:
Make sure that the workbench is stable and well grounded.
Leave about 10 centimeters away from the four sides of the switch for heat dissipation.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the switch.
4.2 Connecting Power Cord
Step 1: Connect one end of the ground wire of the chassis shipped with the switch to the grounding screw on the switch
STCS5024 Full Gigabit Layer 3 switch Installation Guide

rear panel, and properly ground the other end as near as possible.
Step 2: Plug one end of the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the switch chassis, and plug the other end
into the socket of AC power supply.
Step 3: Check whether the power indicator (POWER) on the front panel of the switch is on. On means that the power cord
is correctly connected.
4.3 Connecting Console Cable
I. Console cable
The console cable is an 8-core shielded cable. One end of the cable is a crimped RJ-45 connector, which is to be plugged
into the Console port of the switch. The other end is furnished with a DB-9 (female) connectors. You can select either of
them according to the actual cases to fit in with the 9-pin serial port on the configuration terminal. The figure below
illustrates the console cable.
Table 4-1 Console cable pinouts
RJ-45 Signal Direction DB-9
1 RTS ← 7
2 DTR ← 4
3 TXD ← 3
4 CD → 1
5 GND - 5
6 RXD → 2
7 DSR → 6
8 CTS → 8
II. Connecting Console Cable
While configuring the switch at the configuration terminal, take the following steps to connect the console cable.
Step 1: Plug the console cable’s DB-9 female connector to the serial port of the PC or the terminal where the switch is to be
configured.
Step 2: Plug one end of the RJ-45 connector of the console cable into the console port of the switch.
֠֠֠֠Caution:
Confirm the interface identification before plugging the connector into it

Note:
PC and terminal serial port doesn’t support hot swap. When connect the PC and switch, please first plug the
DB-9 female plug of the console cable to the serial port of the PC or the terminal, then plug the RJ-45
connector of the console cable to the console port of the switch. When disconnect the PC and switch, please
first unplug the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the switch, then unplug the DB-9
female plug of the console cable to the serial port of the PC or the terminal.
4.4 Connecting AUX Cable
AUX cable is used for performing out-band configuration on switch. It’s a Ethernet port.
II. Connecting AUX cable
Step 1 : plug one end of the cross Ethernet cable into the AUX port of the switch.
Step 2 : plug the other end of the cross Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the PC
.
4.5 Post-installation Checklist
After the installation is completed, check whether:
The power to be used is consistent with that labeled on the switch.
The Console cable and power input cable are connected properly.
Check if all the interface cabling is performed indoors and there is no outdoor cabling. In the case of outdoor cabling,
check if the socket strip with lightning protection and network port lightning arrester have been connected.
Chapter 5 Booting and Configuration
