Desktop Installation
Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The
surface where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy.
Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of
cables, power cord and allow air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Feet
1. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and
dust free.
2. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.
3. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These
footpads can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.
Rack-mounted Installation
The 24 10/100BASE-TX + 100Base-FX slot Web smart Switch comes with a
rack-mounted kit and can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch Rack.
The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Perform the
following steps to rack mount the switch:
1. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and
secure it with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining
bracket to the other side of the Switch.
2. After attached mounting brackets, position the Switch in the rack by lining
up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure
the Switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws.
Note: For proper ventilation, allow about at least 4 inches (10 cm) of
clearance on the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the Switch.
This is especially important for enclosed rack installation.

Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the Switch.
The other side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The internal power
supply of the Switch works with voltage range of AC in the 100-240VAC,
frequency 50~60Hz. Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if
power is properly supplied.

Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in witch the
Switch is used. In general, LevelOne FSW-2470 Web smart Switch is
designed as a segment switch. That is, with its address table (4k MAC address)
and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly
connecting with 24 10/100BASE-TX + 100Base-FX slot Web smart Switch.
The switch automatically learns nodes address, which are subsequently used
to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
By using Uplink port, the Switch can connect with another switch or hub to
interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched
network.
Small Workgroup
LevelOne FSW-2470 Web smart Switch can be used as a standalone switch to
which personal computers, server, printer server, are directly connect to form
small workgroup.
Segment Bridge
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed,
this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate
backbone.
In the illustration below, two Ethernet switches with PCs, print server, and local
8
Page 13
server attached, are both connect to the Switch. All the devices in this network
can communicate with each other through the Switch. Connecting servers to
the Switch allow other users to access the data on server.

Web Management
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-Based
management.
About Web-based Management
Inside the CPU board of the switch exists an embedded HTML web site
residing in flash memory. It offers advanced management features and allow
users to manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 5.0. It is based on
Java Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance
access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
[Note] By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open
sockets. The user has to explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java
Applets to use network ports.
Preparing for Web Management
The default value of the switch is as below:
IP Address: 192.168.16.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.16.254
User Name: root
Password: root

Troubleshooting
This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the
FSW-2470 Web smart Switch.
Incorrect connections
The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when you link
switch with other Ethernet device. For the RJ-45 connector should use correct
UTP or STP cable, 10/100Mbps port use 2 pairs twisted cable and Gigabit
1000T port use 4 pairs twisted cable. If the RJ-45 connector is not correct pin
on right position then the link will fail. For fiber connection, please notice that
fiber cable mode and fiber module should be match.
Faulty or loose cables
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make
sure the connections are snug. IF that does not correct the problem, try a
different cable.
Non-standard cables
Non-standard and miss-wired cables may cause numerous network collisions
and other network problem, and can seriously impair network performance. A
category 5-cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-T network
installation.
Improper Network Topologies
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. Common
topology faults include excessive cable length and too many repeaters (hubs)
21
Page 26
between end nodes. In addition, you should make sure that your network
topology contains no data path loops. Between any two ends nodes, there
should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause
broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance.
Diagnosing LED Indicators
The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in
identifying problems, which describes common problems you may encounter
and where you can find possible solutions.
If the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with power outlet, or power cord. However, if the Switch
powers off after running for a while check for loose power connections, power
losses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact
your local dealer for assistance.
Cabling
RJ-45 ports: use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair ( STP )
cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps
connections or 100Ω Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be
sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100
meters (328 feet).
