The ComNet™ CNGE8MS is an 8-port Managed Ethernet Switch designed to
reliably operate in harsh, environmentally challenging applications. It features
four (4) 1000BASE-TX and four (4) gigabit combo ports. The four combo ports are
10/100/1000Mbps configurable for either Cat5-e copper, or multimode or singlemode optical fiber by the use of optional ComNet SFPs for connector type and
distance. Exclusive to ComNet is C-Ring, a feature that protects the network from
interruptions or temporary malfunctions with fast recovery technology. Legacy ring
allows the switch to be used in an existing ring of ComNet X-Ring enabled switches.
Redundant DC inputs are included for uninterrupted operation in the event of a power
supply failure. The electrical ports support the 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet IEEE802.3
protocol, and auto-negotiating and auto-MDi/MDiX features are provided. These
network-managed layer 2 switches are optically and electrically compatible with any
IEEE802.3 compliant Ethernet device. The CNGE8MS is DIN-rail or wall-mountable.

Overview
Introduction
The CNGE8MS is a powerful managed industrial Ethernet switch containing many unique features.
These switches can work under a wide temperature range, dirty environmental and humidity
conditions.
WEB-based, TELNET, Console port or other third-party SNMP software can manage the
CNGE8MS as well. The switch can be managed by a useful utility called eConsole, a powerful
network management software. With its user-friendly and powerful interface, multiple switches
can be easily configured at the same time, and switches’ statuses monitored.

About Web-based Management
An embedded HTML web site resides in the flash memory on the CPU board. It contains
advanced management features and allows you to manage the switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management function supports Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. It is based on Java
Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and
present an easy viewing screen.
Note: By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. You need to
explicitly modify the browser setting in order to enable Java Applets to use network ports.

supports 3 Ring topologies: C-Ring, Coupling Ring and Dual Homing.

switches which set Ring Master to enable, the switch with the lowest MAC address will
be the actual Ring Master and others will be Backup Masters.
1st Ring PortThe primary port, when this switch is Ring Master.
2nd Ring PortThe backup port, when this switch is Ring Master.
Coupling RingMark to enable Coupling Ring. Coupling Ring can be used to divide a big ring into two
smaller rings to avoid affecting all switches when a network topology changes. It is a
good application for connecting two Rings.
Coupling PortLink to Coupling Port of the switch in another ring. Coupling Ring need four switch to
build an active and a backup link.
Set a port as coupling port. The coupled four ports of four switches will be run at active/
backup mode.
Dual HomingMark to enable Dual Homing. By selecting Dual Homing mode, ring will be connected
to normal switches through two RSTP links (ex: backbone Switch). The two links work as
active/backup mode, and connect each ring to the normal switches in RSTP mode.
ApplySelect Apply to set the configurations.
Note: We do not suggest you to set one switch as a Ring Master and a Coupling Ring at the same
time due to heavy load.

Legacy Ring
Legacy ring provides support for the switch to be used in an existing ring of ComNet X-Ring
enabled switches.
X-Ring provides a faster redundant recovery than Spanning Tree topology. The action is similar
to STP or RSTP, but the algorithms between them are not the same. In the X-Ring topology, every
switch should be enabled with X-Ring or Legacy Ring function and two ports should be assigned
as the member ports in the ring. Only one switch in the X-Ring group would be set as the master
switch that one of its two member ports would be blocked, called backup port, and another port
is called working port. Other switches in the X-Ring group are called working switches and their
two member ports are called working ports. When the failure of network connection occurs,
the backup port of the master switch (Ring Master) will automatically become a working port to
recover from the failure.
The switch supports the function and interface for setting the switch as the ring master or not. The
ring master can negotiate and place command to other switches in the X-Ring group. If there are
2 or more switches in master mode, the software will select the switch with lowest MAC address
number as the ring master. The X-Ring master ring mode can be enabled by setting the Legacy
Ring configuration interface. Also, the user can identify whether the switch is the ring master by
checking the R.M. LED indicator on the front panel of the switch.

VLAN
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, allows
the isolation of network traffic. Only the members of the VLAN will receive traffic from the
same members of VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is the logical equivalent of
reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network
devices are still physically plugged into the same switch.
The switch supports 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The default configuration of VLAN operation
mode is at 802 .1Q .
VLAN Configuration — 802.1Q
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard, and t is possible to create a VLAN
across devices from different switch vendors. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a
“tag” into the Ethernet frames. The 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 configure. Enable 802.1Q VLAN, the all ports on the switch belong to default
VLAN, VID is 1. The default VLAN cannot be deleted.
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the switch is
connected to a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a GVRP request by using the VID of a
VLAN defined on the switch; the switch will automatically add that device to the existing VLAN.

Port Monitoring
Port monitoring supports TX (egress) only, RX (ingress) only, and TX/RX monitoring. TX monitoring
sends any data that egress out checked TX source ports to a selected TX destination port as
well. RX monitoring sends any data that ingress in checked RX source ports out to a selected RX
destination port as well as sending the frame where it normally would have gone. Note that keep
all source ports unchecked in order to disable port monitoring.

Command Line Interface Management
Configuration by Command Line Interface (CLI).
About CLI Management
Besides WEB-base management, the CNGE8MS also supports CLI management. You can use
console or telnet to manage the switch by CLI.
CLI Management by RS-232 Serial Console (9600, 8, none, 1, none)
Before configuring by RS-232 serial console, use an RJ45 to DB9-F cable to connect the switches’
RS-232 Console port to your PC’s COM port.
Follow the steps below to access the console via RS-232 serial cable.
Step 1. From the Windows desktop, select on Start -> Programs -> Accessories ->
Communications -> Hyper Terminal

Follow the steps below to access the console via Telnet.
Step 1. Telnet to the IP address of the switch from the Windows Run command (or from the
MS-DOS prompt).
Step 2. The Login screen will appear. Use the keyboard to enter the Username and Password (The
same with the password for Web Browser), and then press Enter.
