Installation precautions
Follow these precautions when installing the switch.
14 Installation precautions
WARNING:
•The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling
over.Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest
devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.
•When wall mounting, to meet national and international safety requirements, wall mount with the
network ports facing up. The side vents cannot be placed up or downward.
CAUTION:
•When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be located near the switch and should be easily
accessible in case the switch must be powered off.
•Ensure that the AC power source circuits are properly grounded.
•Use only the AC/DC power adapter and power cord (if applicable), supplied with the switch. Use of
other adapters or power cords, including those that came with other Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Networking products, may result in damage to the equipment. For those switches that use a power
cord, if your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure
to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power
cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the
switch.
•Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all
devices installed on the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for the
circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power
connectors.
•Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed
40°C (104°F). This includes a fully-enclosed rack. Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of
the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.
•Ensure all port covers are installed when the port is not in use.
Installation Procedure
These steps summarize your switch installation. The rest of this chapter provides details on these steps.

When the self test completes successfully:
18Installing the Switch
•The Power LED remains on.
•The Fault/Locator LED stays off.
•The port LEDs on the front of the switch go into their normal operational mode:
◦If the ports are connected to active network devices, the Link/Act LEDs stay on or may be blinking
to indicate port activity. The Spd LEDs turn on for 1000 Mbps links, blink for 100 Mbps links, or stay
off for 10 Mbps links. On the PoE+ switches, the Mode LEDs behave according to the mode
selected. In the default mode (Spd), the Mode LEDs should be on for 1000 Mbps links, blink for 100
Mbps links, or stay off for 10 Mbps links.
◦If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the Link/Act and Spd LEDs will stay off.
If the LED display is different than what is described above, the self test has not completed correctly.

Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove an SFP.
Installing the SFPs:
Remove the protective plastic cover and retain it for later use. Hold the SFP by its sides and gently insert it
into any of the slots on the switch until the SFP clicks into place.
WARNING:
The HPE SFPs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the
transmit port.
Removing the SFPs
NOTE:
You should disconnect the network cable from the SFP before removing it from the switch.
To remove the SFPs that have the plastic tab or plastic collar, push the tab or collar toward the switch until
you see the SFP release from the switch (you can see it move outward slightly), and then pull it from the slot.
To remove the SFPs that have the wire bail, lower the bail until it is approximately horizontal, and then using
the bail, pull the SFP from the slot.
Replace the protective plastic cover on the SFP.
Connecting cables to SFPs
If you have any SFPs installed in the switch, the type of network connections you will need to use depends on
the type of SFPs you have installed. See the table in Network ports, and appendix A, Cabling andTechnology Information Specifications, for the SFP cabling information.
For SFP ports, and in general for all the switch ports, when a network cable from an active network device is
connected to the port, the port Link LED for that port should go on. If the port Link LED does not go on when
the network cable is connected to the port, see Diagnosing with the LEDs on page 27.
24 Installing the SFPs:
Configuring the Switch
Initial Configuration
The 1820 Switch Series can be managed through a Web-browser interface that you can access from any PC
or workstation connected to the switch.
To access the Web interface, you must have the switch’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. In the factory default
configuration, the IP address is automatically acquired from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
service that is available on your network or from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Most routers provide
this service. The DHCP service automatically provides a network IP address configuration to devices that
request it, such as the 1820 switches.
Many features are configurable on the 1820 Switch Series. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that at
minimum, you configure a management password for switch security. Follow these procedures to access the
switch’s Web interface to perform the switch configuration:
Procedure
1. Place the switch close to the PC that you will use for configuration. It helps if you can see the front panel of
the switch while working from your PC.
2. Connect power to the switch, and then start your PC (if it is not already running) and wait until the switch
and PC have finished their start-up sequences.
3. Connect the PC to any port on the switch using a standard Ethernet LAN cable. Verify that there is a link
between the switch and PC by checking the LEDs for the network port that you are using. (For more
information on LEDs, see LEDs on page 8 .)
4. If the switch has access to a DHCP service, it automatically acquires an IP address. Determine the IP
address of the switch by examining the client IP address table on your router (see the router
documentation for how to get this information), or talk to your ISP representative to get the IP address of
the switch.
If a DHCP service is not available in your network, or for some reason the switch does not acquire an IP
address from the service, the switch defaults to IP address 192.168.1.1 after 120 seconds of automatically
attempting to acquire an IP address.
NOTE:
Alternatively, if you cannot determine the switch’s IP address, you can force it to use the 192.168.1.1
address by first disconnecting the switch from any router or internet connection and then unplugging
and reconnecting power to it.
To communicate with the switch using the 192.168.1.1 address, see Using the 192.168.1.1 IP address on
page 26 before continuing these steps.
5. From the PC connected to the switch, open a Web-browser session and enter the switch’s IP address as
the URL. This opens the login screen for the switch’s Web browser interface from which you perform the
next steps.
6. Enter the default username “admin” and click Login to start a switch Web-browser interface session. By
default, there is no password.
7. To configure a password on the switch Web interface, click Maintenance > Password Manager and enter
the Current Password. Define a New Password and reenter it in the Confirm New Password field.
Passwords can be up to 64 alphanumeric and special characters in length, and are case sensitive.
8. Click Apply to implement the new password, and then click Save Configuration at the top of the browser
configuration screen to save your settings and retain them when the switch is rebooted.
Configuring the Switch25
See the HPE OfficeConnect 1820 Switch Series Management and Configuration Guide for more switch
configuration information.
NOTE:
If you cannot remember the switch’s IP address or password, you can restore the factory default
settings by following the procedure described in Troubleshooting on page 27.
Using the 192.168.1.1 IP address
If the switch does not acquire an IP address via the DHCP request, it defaults to the following configuration:
ParameterFactory Default Setting
Usernameadmin
Password<blank>
IP address192.168.1.1
Subnet mask255.255.255.0
Default gatewaynot set
To communicate with the switch using the 192.168.1.1 address:
1. Connect a PC directly to any of the switch’s network ports using a standard Ethernet cable.
2. Configure the PC’s IP Address and Subnet Mask to allow it to communicate with the switch through your
PC’s Web browser.
For example, for Windows 7, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. In the Control Panel, click Network and Internet and then
Network and Sharing Center.
b. Click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator
password or for a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
c. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click Properties.
NOTE:
Record your PC’s current IP settings to be able to restore them later, if needed.
3. Click Use the following IP address, and then, in the IP address and Subnet mask fields, type the IP
address settings:
a. For IP address, enter an IP address in the same range as the switch’s IP address, for example, enter
192.168.1.12.
b. For Subnet mask, enter 255.255.255.0, then click OK.
c. Click Close (or OK) to close the Local Area Connection Properties screen.
4. Open the Web browser on the PC, and enter the switch address, http://192.168.1.1 to access the switch’s
Web interface. Go back to
#unique_36/unique_36_Connect_42_V36447443 to configure the switch.

Note on 1000BASE-T Cable Requirements. The Category 5 networking cables that work for 100BASE-TX
connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, as long as all four-pairs are connected. But, for the most
robust connections, you should use cabling that complies with the Category 5e specifications, as described in
Addendum 5 to the TIA-568-A standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5).
1
Standards37
Because of the increased speed provided by 1000BASE-T (Gigabit-T), network cable quality is more
important than for either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. Cabling plants being used to carry 1000BASE-T
networking must comply with the IEEE 802.3ab standards. In particular, the cabling must pass tests for
Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). Additionally, unlike the cables for
100BASE-TX, the 1000BASE-T cables must pass tests for Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT) and
Return Loss.
When testing your cabling, be sure to include the patch cables that connect the switch and other end devices
to the patch panels on your site. The patch cables are frequently overlooked when testing cable and they
must also comply with the cabling standards.
The following information applies to installations in which multimode fiber-optic cables are connected to a
Gigabit-LX port. Multimode cable has a design characteristic called “Differential Mode Delay”, which requires
the transmission signals be “conditioned” to compensate for the cable design and thus prevent resulting
transmission errors.

2 - 550 meters
Under certain circumstances, depending on the cable used and the lengths of the cable runs, an external
Mode Conditioning Patch Cord may need to be installed between the Gigabit-LX transmitting device and the
multimode network cable to provide the transmission conditioning. If you experience a high number of
transmission errors on those ports, usually CRC or FCS errors, you may need to install one of these patch
cords between the fiber-optic port in your switch and your multimode fiber-optic network cabling, at both ends
of the network link.
The patch cord consists of a short length of single mode fiber cable coupled to graded-index multimode fiber
cable on the transmit side, and only multimode cable on the receive side. The section of single mode fiber is
connected in such a way that it minimizes the effects of the differential mode delay in the multimode cable.
NOTE:
Most of the time, if you are using good quality graded-index multimode fiber cable that adheres to the
standards listed in this appendix, there should not be a need to use mode conditioning patch cords in
your network. This is especially true if the fiber runs in your network are relatively short.

As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the transceiver with the section of single mode
fiber plugged in to the Tx (transmit) port. Then, connect the other end of the patch cord to your network
cabling patch panel, or directly to the network multimode fiber.
If you connect the patch cord directly to the network cabling, you may need to install a female-to-female
adapter to allow the cables to be connected together.

The multimode cable in the patch cord must match the characteristics of your network cable
Make sure you purchase a patch cord that has appropriate connectors on each end, and has multimode fibers
that match the characteristics of the multimode fiber in your network. Most important, the core diameter of the
multimode patch cord must match the core diameter of the multimode cable infrastructure (either 50 or 62.5
microns).
Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs
The Auto-MDIX Feature:
In the default configuration, “Auto”, the fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T ports on the switches all automatically
detect the type of port on the connected device and operate as either an MDI or MDI-X port, whichever is
appropriate. So for any connection, a straight-through twisted-pair cable can be used—you no longer haveto use crossover cables, although crossover cables can also be used for any of the connections. (The
10/100/1000-T ports support the IEEE 802.3ab standard, which includes the “Auto-MDIX” feature.)
If you connect a switch twisted-pair port to another switch or hub, which typically have MDI-X ports, the switch
port automatically operates as an MDI port. If you connect it to an end node, such as a server or PC, which
typically have MDI ports, the switch port operates as an MDI-X port. In all cases, you can use standard
straight-through cables or crossover cables.
If you happen to use a correctly wired crossover cable, though, the switch will still be able to automatically
detect the MDI/MDI-X operation and link correctly to the connected device.

Using Fixed Configurations. If the port configuration is changed to any of the fixed configurations
though, for example 100 Mbps/full duplex, the port operates as MDI-X only and the correct cable type
must be used: for connections to MDI ports, such as end nodes, use a straight-through cable; for
connections to MDI-X ports, such as on hubs and other switches, use a crossover cable.
Other Wiring Rules:
•All twisted-pair wires used for 10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps operation must be twisted through the entire length
of the cable. The wiring sequence must conform to EIA/TIA 568-B (not USOC). See “Twisted-Pair Cable
Pin Assignments” later in this appendix for a listing of the signals used on each pin.
•For 1000BASE-T connections, all four pairs of wires in the cable must be available for data transmission.
•For 10 Mbps connections to the ports, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable, as
supported by the IEEE 802.3 Type 10BASE-T standard.
•For 100 Mbps connections to the ports, use 100-ohm Category 5 UTP or STP cable only, as supported by
the IEEE 802.3u Type 100BASE-TX standard.
•For 1000 Mbps connections, 100-ohm Category 5e or better cabling is recommended.
Straight-through Twisted-Pair Cable for10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network
Connections
Because of the Auto-MDIX operation of the 10/100 ports on the switch, for all network connections, to PCs,
servers or other end nodes, or to hubs or other switches, you can use straight-through cables.
If any of these ports are given a fixed configuration, for example 100 Mbps/Full Duplex, the ports operate as
MDI-X ports, and straight-through cables must be then used for connections to PC NICs and other MDI ports.

NOTE:
•Pins 1 and 2 on connector “A” must be wired as a twisted pair to pins 1 and 2 on connector “B”.
•Pins 3 and 6 on connector “A” must be wired as a twisted pair to pins 3 and 6 on connector “B”.
•Pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are not used in this application, although they may be wired in the cable.
