Introduction

General Description

Easily boosting your networking throughput, the 16/24-Ports Gigabit Web Smart Switch provides you 16/24 10/100/1000Mbps gigabit ports that lead you to a real gigabit connection. Users are now able to transfer high bandwidth-demanded fi les faster and get a real efficiency improvement with the user-friendly W eb-based management interface. This product also equips 4 mini GBIC slots for your flexible fiber connection. Use of the mini-GBIC port disables the connection of its corresponding copper port automatically.

The management functionalities provide efficient network usage. VLAN reduces the collisions from widely broadcasting. Port Aggregation enlarges the bandwidth of backbone connection. QoS is supported to secure the bandwidth for some bandwidth-demanded applications including VoIP or videoconference. The 802.3x and backpressure flow control mechanisms are also supported to ensure the correctness of data transmitting.

Restore Default Button

You can use this button to reset the switch or restore factory default settings.

To reset the switch, press the button once.

To restore factory default settings, press and hold the button for three

seconds.

The Rear Panel

The rear panel of the switch:

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 from100 to

240VAC, 50/60Hz. Please make sure that your outlet standard to be within

this range.

T o 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 25mm 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 sur f a ce 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

1. Crossover or straight-through cable: All the ports on the switch 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 5eUTP/STP cable: T o make a v alid 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.

Media Speed Wiring

10/100/1000Mbps copper

1000Mbps Fiber (Mini GBIC required)

10Mbps Category 3,4,5 Utp/STP 100Mbps Category 5 UTP/STP 1000Mbps Category 5,5e UTP/STP 1000Mbps The cable type differs from the

mini-GBIC you choose. Please refer to the instruction came with your mini-GBIC.

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 interrupts. Note: To enable Jumb o Fram e, Flo w Con trol s hou ld b e en abled in ad vance .

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 a ll th e p ac ke ts a nd he nc e is able t o mon itor t he tra ffic 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(16-port)/ 12(24-port) groups and 8 members 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 the advanced management capability, which can be accessed through console port or Telnet session / 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:

5. “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： 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask： 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway： 192.168.1.254

1. Running your Web Browser and enter the IP address “192.168.1.1” in the Address field.

2. Key in the user name and password to pass the authentication. The factory default value of User Name and Password is “admin”.
