Fast Ethernet Micro Switch

Installation and power supply

After connecting the power supply the switch is ready for operation with default values.

For the devices with integrated 230 VAC power supply the installation has to be done only by qualified
professionals. The correct assignment of the L- and N-wires and the earthing has to be respected
(according to the drawing on the type label).

For the devices with 48 VDC power supply the correct polarity (+/- clamp description) has top be respected.
Earthing the device is always required.

Reset of the switch

Inside of the first two RJ-45 ports there are buttons (see figure). By pressing hardware reset button the memory and
the MAC table are erased and all connections are established new. The complete configuration of the device (switch
and management) remains unchanged. For the easy handling of the button there is a separate reset tool available
(Article-No. MS140000).

Reset to factory default values

With simultaneous pressing of both buttons in port 1 and 2 (releasing the reset button first), the configuration of the
switch is set back to factory default values. The individual TCP/IP settings and the name of the device remain
unchanged.

Assignment of an IP address

For the commissioning of the network management the switch must be configured with a valid IP address. This can be
done automatically via DHCP (factory default) or manual by using the “Switch IP Config Tool” or the “nmp Software”.

Use of the “IP Config Tool”

The “Switch IP Config Tool” is on our web page www.MICROSENS.com under the newslink 600250 available for free
downloading. After installation as first the used network interface of the PC has to be selected. For the further steps
the devices which should be configured must be in the same subnet like the PC.

With the button “MAC-based Device Discovery” all Micro Switches in the same segment are detected and listed.
In this list it is possible to assign an IP address to each switch.

Alternative it is possible to release an IP request at the switch. For this the reset button (see figure) has to be
pressed and hold for approx. 5 seconds. After releasing the button the IP request is started. The software offers
the IP configuration now.

User Levels for the Management Access

After the successful IP configuration the network management can be accessed immediately via web and Telnet. The
following user levels are available as default:
