Unpacking Information

Thank you for purchasing the 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch. Before you start, please verify that your package contains the following items:

1. One 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch

2. One power cord

3. One RS-232 Cable (optional)

4. Rack-mount brackets and screws (optional)

5. User’s Manual

Introduction

General Description

Easily boosting your networking throughput, the Gigabit Web smart switch provides you 8* 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit ports that lead you to a real Gigabit connection. Users are now able to transfer high bandwidth-demanded files faster and hence get a real efficiency improvement with the user -friendly Web-based management interface.

The management functionalities provide efficient network usage. VLAN reduces the collisions in network. Port Aggregation enlarges the bandwidth of backbone connection. QoS is supported to secure the bandwidth for some bandwidth-demanded services including VoIP or videoconference. Flow control also contributes for ensuring the correctness of data transmitting. The 802.3x and backpressure flow control mechanisms work respectively for full and half duplex modes.

Sufficient compatibility enhances easy installation and maintenance. The switch supports Nway auto-negotiation protocol, which detects the networking speed (either 10/100/1000 Mbps) and the duplex modes (Full or Half duplex mode) automatically and do an immediately adjustment to advance the capability. Auto-MDI/MDI-X function alleviates the effort to use crossover cables. Users need not to prepare crossover cables for equipment connectivity. Also, rich diagnostic LEDs are provided for users to get real-time information of the connection status that helps to do quick response and correction.

Restore Default Button

You can use this button to reset the switch or restore factory def ault 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 from 100 to 240VAC, 50/60Hz. Please make sure that your outlet standard to be within this range. 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.

Installation

This switch can be placed on your desktop direct ly, 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 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 (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 use d 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: 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.

Media Speed Wiring

10/100/1000Mbps

1000Mbps Category 5,5e UTP/STP

Network Application

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 Jumbo Frame, Flow Control should be enabled in advance.

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 source port, the monitoring port received all the packets and hence is able to monitor the traffic of this specific port.

VLAN

With VLAN supported, the network can be segmented in groups to reduce the collisions from widely broadcasting. The device supports 802.1Q tag based VLAN, which add tags 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.

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 Switch

This section instructs you how to enter and proceed the advanced management capability, which can be accessed by Telnet session / Internet Browser over the network (in-band).
