Figure 2.3 – Mount the Switch in the rack or chassis
Please be aware of following safety Instructions when installing:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit, and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use
of power strips)."
Step 3 – Plugging in the AC Power Cord
Users may now connect the AC power cord into the rear of the switch and to an electrical outlet (preferably

System > DHCP Auto Configuration
This page allows you to enable the DHCP Auto Configuration feature on the Switch. When enabled, the
Switch becomes a DHCP client and gets the configuration file from a TFTP server automatically on next boot
up. To accomplish this, the DHCP server must deliver the TFTP server IP address and configuration file
name information in the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be up and running and store the
necessary configuration file in its base directory when the request is received from the Switch.

NOTE: Be sure to adjust port speed settings
appropriately after changing the connected cable
media types.
Media: When port number is 25 or 26. Select the Media is Copper, Fiber_1G or Fiber_100.
Speed: Gigabit Fiber connections can operate in 1000M Full Force Mode, Auto Mode or Disabled. Copper
connections can operate in Forced Mode settings (1000M Full, 100M Full, 100M Half, 10M Full, 10M Half),
Auto, or Disabled. 100M Fiber connections support 100M Full Force Mode, 100M Half Force Mode, or
Disabled. The default setting for all ports is Auto.
MDI/MDIX:
A medium dependent interface (MDI) port is an Ethernet port connection typically used on the Network
Interface Card (NIC) or Integrated NIC port on a PC. Switches and hubs usually use Medium dependent interface crossover (MDIX) interface. When connecting the Switch to end stations, user have to use
straight through Ethernet cables to make sure the Tx/Rx pairs match up properly. When connecting the
Switch to other networking devices, a crossover cable must be used.
This switch provides a configurable MDI/MDIX function for users. The switches can be set as an MDI port in
order to connect to other hubs or switches without an Ethernet crossover cable.
Auto is designed on the switch to detect if the connection is backwards, and automatically chooses MDI or
MDIX to properly match the connection. The default setting is “Auto” MDI/MDIX.
Flow Control: You can enable this function to mitigate the traffic congestion. Ports configured for full-duplex
use 802.3x flow control, half-duplex ports use backpressure flow control. The default setting is Disabled.
System > Port Configuration > Port Description
In the Port Description page, the user may name various ports on the Switch.

System > SNMP Settings > SNMP Global State
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) protocol designed
specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management stations to
read and modify the settings of gateways, routers, switches, and other network devices. Use SNMP to
configure system features for proper operation, monitor performance and detect potential problems in the
Switch or LAN.
Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the
device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage
the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard
presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the
MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.
The default SNMP global state is disabled. Select Enable and click Apply to enable the SNMP function.
