1-3 External Component Description
1-3-1 Front Panel
The front panel of the Switch consists of 8 x 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 + 2 x SFP ports, and a series of LED
indicators as shown as below:
Front Panel
10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports (1-8):
It is designed to connect to the devices of bandwidth of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps. Each
bandwidth has a corresponding 10/100/1000Mbps LED.
LED indicators:
The LED Indicators will allow you to monitor, diagnose and troubleshoot any potential problem with the
Switch, the connection(s) or other attached devices.

supports AC 100 - 240V, 50 - 60Hz.
1-5 Rack-mountable Installation
This part describes how to install your Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Please read the following topics and
perform the procedures in the order being presented.
a. Attach the mounting brackets on the Switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them with
the screws provided.
b. Mount the switch on the equipment rack using the screws provided and tighten them.
Chapter 2 Connect & Login
2-1 Switch to End Node
Use a standard Cat.5/5e Ethernet cable (UTP/STP) to connect the Switch to end nodes as shown
below. Switch ports will automatically adjust to the characteristics (MDI/MDI-X, speed, duplex) of the
device to which it is connected to.
Please refer to the LED Indicator Specification in
each port turns on when the link is available.

2-2 Login
Open a web browser and go to the switch’s IP address. The default IP address is 192.168.2.2. Your
computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the switch. For the default IP address this is any IP
address in the range 192.168.2.x (x = 3 – 254). You can modify the IP address of your computer if you
need.
1. Enter the switch’s IP address (192.168.2.1) in the URL bar of a web browser. IE 7 or above is
recommended.
2. At the following screen login with the default username “admin” and password “1234”.
3. You will arrive at the switch configuration window as shown below:
System
This link displays device information and allows you to configure device name and IP.
Management
This link allows you to perform functions such as firmware or configuration file
maintenance, and system reset or reboot.
Port
This link allows you to check Link Status, TX/RX counter, Loop Status and Loop Reset.
VLAN
