Chapter 1 Introduction to the Web Smart Switch

1.1 General Description

High Performance

GES-2450 is a powerful, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch with 24*10/100/1000Mbps ports and 4*SFP (mini GBIC) ports, providing you a cost-effective, space-saving solution for expanding your network. The gigabit ports can lead you to a real gigabit connection, making you be able to transfer high bandwidth-needed files larger and faster in an easy way. And the four mini gigabit ports allow you to add fiber-optic connectivity for connecting to other network switches to obtain long-distance communication. This device provides the easy management function through the Ethernet Web. The network administrator can configure the status and the port function setting of the device through the Web-Based UI. When installing the auto-discovery management tool helps network managers to search and access those switches on LAN easily. Therefore, network managers can access switches that support auto-discovery on LAN without memorizing IP address.

Smart Features

GES-2450 provides rich features including Link Aggregation, VLANs, IGMP Snooping, Port Trunking, Spanning Tree, Security (Port Security and 802.1x authentication) and other network management to meet the requirements evolving medium and small-sized enterprises. QoS secures the bandwidth for some bandwidth-demanded applications including VoIP or video conference. Additionally, IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet ability is supported to promise operation in Low Power Idle Mode and save power consumption.

Easy Installation and Management

This switch is plug & play and hassle-free in installation. Auto-MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables for connection to another switch or hub. Auto-Negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. This switch also features diagnostic LEDs, which display the status and activities of the LEDs, allowing you to quickly detect and correct problems on the network.

1.2 The Front Panel

The following figure shows the front panel of the switch.

The following table describes the port labels on the front panel.

24 10/100 RJ-45 Ethernet Ports

Four Mini-GBIC Slots:

Connect these ports to a computer, a hub, an Ethernet switch or router

Use mini-GBIC transceivers in these slots for connections to backbone Ethernet switches.

1.3 LEDs Definition

This device provides extensive leds to show the activities on power, system and ports. See the following description for your reference:

LED Status Operation

Steady Green The switch is powered on.

Power

Link/ACT

Blinking Green Valid port connection and there is data transmitting/ receiving. Off Port disconnected.

The RESET Button

Reset the switch to its factory default configuration via the RESET button. Press the RESET button for one second and release. The switch automatically reboots and reloads its factory configuration file. The RESET button is on the front panel of the switch.

1.4 The Rear Panel

The following figure shows the rear panel of t he switch:

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.

1.5 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.

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.

Web Smart Switch

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.
