1. Introduction to 24+2G Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch

1.1 General Description

The device is a 24+2G 10/100Mbps Ethernet Web Smart Switch. The device is a powerful, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch, which
provides smart and efficient management functions and support 26 ports connection with 24 ports of 10/100Mbps and 2 ports 10/100/1000Mbps with Full/Half duplex capability. The NWay auto-negotiation operation automatically negotiates with the connected part ners on the network speed and du plex mode; that provides an easy way to integrate 10/100Mbps networ ks with no pain. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications.
Out of the ordinary dumb switches, the 24+2G Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch embedded advanced management capability; that the device can be managed through console port or web-based UI. This is much useful for system manager to monitor and control the system efficiently.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the lo w latency plus eliminates all the network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of the frames can occur simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double the network bandwidth.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel provide the operating status of individual port and whole system.

2. Installing 24+2G Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch

This switch can be placed directly on your des ktop, or mounted in a rack. Users can immediately use most of the features simply by attaching the cables and turning the power on.

2.1 Desktop Installation

For desktop installation, the switch needs to put on a clean, flat desk or table close to a power outlet. Plug in all network cables and the pow er cord, then the system is ready.
Before installing the switch, you must ensure:
1. It is accessible and cables can be connected easily
2. Cabling is away from: Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband
amplifiers
Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
3. Keep water or moisture off
4. Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the si de of the c ase is gr eat
for heat radiation (company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25 mm clearance)
To prolong the operational life of your units:
1. Never stack unit more than eight sets high if freestanding
2. Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack
3. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case

2.2 Rack-mount Installation

The switch may standalone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch eq uipment rack. Rack mounting produces an orderly installation when you have a number of related network devices. The switch is supplied w ith rack mounting brackets and screws. These are used for rack mounting the unit.
Rack Mounting the Switch in the 19-inch rack:
1. Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing.
2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front faci ng
toward 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.
6
Page 9
5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.
6. Insert the unit into the 19" rack and secure with suitable screws (not
provided).
7. Reconnect all cables.

2.3 Installing Network Cables

Station Connections
Reference to the wiring statement of th e previous section; connect eac h station to the switch with correct type of cables.
Switch-to-Switch Connections
In making a switch-to-switch connection, use every port to connect another switch or backbone is strongly recommended. Th e Gigabit Ethernet ports provide the fat pipe to the server or backbone connectivity for boosting the total system performance. Reference to the wiring statement of the pr evious section; connect each station to the switch with correct type of cables.
