Power Receptacle

To be compatible with the electric service standards around the world, the switch is designed to afford the power supply in the range from 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Please make sure that your outlet standard to be within this range. To power on the switch, please plug the female end of the power cord firmly into the receptacle of the switch and the other end into an electric service outlet. After the power cord installation, please check if the power LED is lit for a normal power status.

Installation

This switch can be placed on your desktop directly, or mounted in a rack. Please refer to the instructions for installation.

Before installing the switch, we recommend:

1. The switch is placed with appropriate ventilation environment. A

minimum 25 mm space around the unit is recommended.

2. The switch and the relevant components are away from sources of

electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers

3. The switch is away from environments beyond recommend moisture

Desktop Installation

1. Install the switch on a level surface that can support the weight of the

unit and the relevant components.

2. Plug the switch with the female end of the provided power cord and plug

the male end to the power outlet.

Rack-mount Installation

The switch may be standalone, or mounted in a rack. Rack mounting facilitate to an orderly installation when you are going to install series of networking devices.

Procedures to Rack-mount the Switch:

1. Disconnect all the cables from the switch before continuing.

2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front

facing you.

3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the

unit.

4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.

5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.

6. Insert the unit into the rack and secure with suitable screws (optional).

7. Reconnect all the cables.

Installing Network Cables

support Auto-MDI/MDI-X functionality. Both straight-through or crossover cables can be used as the media to connect the switch with PCs as well as other devices like switches, hubs or router.

2. Category 3, 4, 5 or 5e, 6 UTP/STP cable: To make a valid connection

and obtain the optimal performance. An appropriate cable that corresponds to different transmitting/receiving speed is required. To choose a suitable cable, please refer to the following table.

Functional Description

Jumbo Frame

With Jumbo Frame supported, it is allowed for the switch to transport identical data in fewer frames. Hence helps to ensure fewer overheads, shorten processing time, and reduce interruptions. Note: To enable Jumbo Frame, Flow Control should be enabled in advance.

Flow Control and Back Pressure

Flow Control and Back Pressure both contributes for lower and higher speed devices to communicate to each other hence ensures the correctness of data transmitting. The 802.3x flow control and Back Pressure mechanisms work respectively for full and half duplex modes. Flow Control can be enabled or disabled on a per-port basis.

Mirror

The Mirror function provides network administrator to monitor the traffic. By forwarding a copy of the packets that transferred by the monitored port, the sniffer port received all the packets and hence is able to monitor the traffic of the specified port.

VLAN

With VLAN supported, the network can be segmented in groups to reduce the collisions from widely broadcasting. The device supports both port-based VLAN and 802.1Q tag based VLAN. Port-based VLAN classifies incoming packets to VLANs according to their ingress port. The 802.1Q based VLAN add a tag to the header of the packet to classify their VLANs.

Trunk (Aggregation)

The Trunk functionality integrates several ports to enlarge the bandwidth that helps to boost the backbone connectivity. The switch allows the Maximum 8 groups for each group.

Quality of Service (QoS)

The QoS service classifies packets into different precedence. The packets are transmitted and received by their classified priorities. This mechanism helps high bandwidth demanded applications such as VoIP to get an unobstructed connection.

SNMP

This device is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)-management supported. This allows this product to be monitored or inspected by a SNMP management station.

Management guide

Access the management interface of the Switch

This section instructs you how to enter and proceed with the advanced management capability, which can be accessed through console port or Internet Browser over the network (in-band).

Manage the device via command line interface

To start-up the command line interface, please connect a PC COM port to

the RS-232 connector and activate a terminal emulation software (e.g.

HyperTerminal of Windows.)

The terminal emulation software should be started as the following

configuration:

1. Data rate: 115200 baud.

2. Data format: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.

3. Flow control: none.

4. Click the property icon, select settings, make sure that:

“The Function, arrow, and ctrl keys act as”: Terminal keys. “Emulation”: VT100.

Note: To manage via command line interface, please find the “Appendix” for more information.

Manage the device via WEB browser

To access the Web-based management interface, you should configure the management station with an IP address and subnet mask that compatible to your switch.

The factory default value of the switch:

IP：：：： 192.168.2.1 Subnet Mask：：：： 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway：：：： 192.168.2.254

1. Running your Web Browser and enter the IP address “192.168.2.1” in the

Address field.

2. Key in the password 1234 (default value) to pass the authentication. Also,

you can initialize the Password in the configuration of System.

3. After authentication procedure, the following page shows up, and then you may click the hyperlinks on the left side of each page to get access to each management functions.

1. Select the VLAN group, click “Modify”, then setup the Port as the

members of this VLAN group by clicking those marked checkboxes. Finally, click the “Apply” button to execute.

2. Select the VLAN ID of the VLAN you want

in the VLAN Configuration List, then click “Delete” / “Refresh” to clear/refresh this VLAN group.

Note:

1. When a port is configured to a specific VLAN group, a PVID that

corresponding to the VLAN id will be assigned automatically to this port. (Ex, when you make port 3 of a VLAN with VLAN id “2”, the PVID “ 2 ” will be assigned automatically to port 3)

2. Settings in VLAN, Port aggregation, and Mirror are correlative.
