1.4 LED Descriptions

The LEDs on the front panel provide users with switch status checking and monitoring. There are three types of LEDs as follows:

 System LED indicates if the switch is powered up correctly or not, or, indicates if

there is a system alarm triggered for troubleshooting.

 Mode LED indicates the mode of all ports on the switch. Users can press the mode

button sequentially to switch between the two different modes (link/activity/speed mode and PoE mode).

1.5 Mode / Reset Button

By pressing the mode / reset button for certain period of time, users can perform the following tasks.

 Change Port Status LED Mode to read the port status correctly in the two

different modes (link/act/speed mode or PoE mode).

 Reset the Switch to reboot and get the switch back to the previous configuration

settings saved.

 Restore the Switch to Factory Defaults to restore the original factory default

settings back to the switch.

Note: According to the table below, users can easily judge which task is being per-

formed by reading the LED behaviors while pressing the mode / reset button.

Once the LED behaviors are correctly displayed, users may just release the button.

2. Installing the Switch

2.1 Package Contents

 The switch  DC adapter  Four adhesive rubber feet  Installation guide  Mounting kit

Note: The switch is an indoor device. If it is to be used with outdoor devices such as

outdoor IP cameras or outdoor WiFi APs, then users are strongly suggested to install a surge protector or surge suppressor in order to protect the switch.

2.2 Mounting the in a 19-inch Rack

Step 1: Attach the mounting brackets to both sides of the chassis. Insert screws and

tighten then with a screwdriver to secure the brackets.

Figure 3: Attaching Brackets to the Switch

Step 2: Place the switch on a rack shelf in the rack. Push it in until the oval holes in the

brackets align with the mounting holes in the rack posts.

Step 3: Attach the brackets to the posts. Insert screws and tighten them.

Figure 4: Attaching Brackets to the Rack Post

2.3 Mounting the Switch on Desk or Shelf

Step 1: Verify that the workbench is sturdy and reliably grounded.

Step 2: Attach the four adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the switch.

Figure 5: Attaching the Rubber Feet

2.4 Connecting the AC Power Cord

Step 1: Connect the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle of switch.

Step 2: Connect the other end of the AC power cord to the AC power outlet.

Step 3: Check the SYS LED. If it is ON, the power connection is correct.

2.5 Installing SFP Modules

You can install or remove a SFP module without having to power off the switch.

Step 1: Insert the module into the SFP port.

Step 2: Press firmly to ensure that the module seats into the connector.

Figure 7: Installing a SFP Module into a SFP Port

WARNING: Infrared radiation as used for data transmission within the fiber optic,

although invisible to the human eye, can nevertheless cause damage.

To avoid damage to the eyes:

 never look straight into the output of fiber optic components – danger of blinding!  cover all unused optical connections with caps.  commission the transmission link only after completing all connections.

3. Initial Configuration of Switch

3.1 Initial Switch Configuration Using Web Browsers

After powering up the switch for the first time, you can perform the initial switch configuration using a web browser. For managing other switch features, please refer to the Web interface user guide for details.

To begin with the initial configuration stage, you need to reconfigure your PC’s IP address and subnet mask so as to make sure the PC can communicate with the switch. After changing PC’s IP address (for example, 192.168.1.250), then you can access the Web interface of the switch using the switch’s default IP address as shown below.

The initial switch configurations are as follows:

IP address: 192.168.1.1

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.254

Login: admin

Password: admin

3.2 Initial Switch Configuration Procedure

The initial switch configuration procedure is as follows:

1. Power up the PC that you will use for the initial configuration. Please make sure the

PC has the Ethernet RJ45 connector to be connected to the switch via standard Ethernet LAN cable.

2. Reconfigure the PC’s IP address and subnet mask as below, so that it can

communicate with the switch. The method to change the PC’s IP address, for example, for a PC running Windows® 7/8.x/10, is as follows:

Step 1: Type “network and sharing“ into the Search box in the Start Menu

Step 2: Select Network and Sharing Center

Step 3: Click on Change adapter settings on the left of PC screen

Note: Users can also skip step 1 to 3, by pressing WinKey+R and type ”ncpa.cpl”

command to get to step 4 directly.

Step 4: Right-click on your local adapter and select Properties

Step 5: In the Local Area Connection Properties window highlight Internet

Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click the Properties button.

Note: Be sure to record all your PC’s current IP settings to be able to restore them

later.

Step 6: Select the radio button Use the following IP address and enter in the IP

for the PC (e.g. any IP address not in use, and in between 192.168.1.2 and

192.168.1.254), Subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0), and Default gateway

that corresponds with your network setup. Then enter your preferred and Alternate DNS server addresses.

Step 7: Click OK to change the PC’s IP address.

3. Power up the switch to be initially configured, and wait until it has finished its

start-up processes.

4. Connect the PC to any port on the switch using a standard Ethernet cable, and

check the port LED on the switch to make sure the link status of the PC’s is OK.

5. Run your Web browser on the PC; enter the factory default IP address, to access

the switch’s Web interface.

If your PC is configured correctly, you will see the login page of the switch as shown by Figure 9 below.

Figure 8: Web Interface login page

If you do not see the above login page, please perform the following steps:

- Refresh the web page.

- Check to see if there is an IP conflict issue.

- Clean browser cookies and temporary internet files.

- Check your PC settings again and repeat step 2.

6. Enter the factory default username and password in login page.

Click “Login” to log into the switch.
