Introduction

The MIL-SM808G managed compact desktop switch is an ideal solution
for a Fiber network infrastructure. It provides wire-speed, Fast Ethernet
switching providing high-performance data transfer. The switch features
a store-and-forward architecture with auto-learning of source addresses
with an 8K-entry MAC address table.

Figure 1-1. The MIL-SM808G switch

The switch provides eight switched 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Fiber ports
and one GBIC slot for a GBIC transceiver. The fiber port connectors are
available in either SC (single mode or multi-mode) or ST (multi-mode).

With built-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring the
switch is simplified. The Web Browser may be used to configure and
manage the network, from cabinet level management to port level
control and monitoring. Use of a mouse replaces typing of command
strings. The switch can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or SNMP
Management.

Management Methods

The MIL-SM808G switch series support the following management
methods:

 Console and Telnet Management
 Web-based Management
 SNMP Network Management

Console and Telnet Management

Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port.
Managing the switch in this method requires a direct connection
between a PC and the switch. Telnet management requires a network
connection. The default IP address is 192.168.1.77 with a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0. This default address can be used to login and change
the configuration using Telnet.

Web-based Management

The switch provides an embedded HTML web server residing in flash
memory. It offers advanced management features and allows users to
manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape.

3

SNMP Network Management

SNMP ( Simple Network Management Protocol ) provides a means to
monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations,
statistic collection, performance, and security.

Hardware Description

Front Panel

The Front Panel of the MIL-SM808G switch series consists of eight
100Mbps Fast Ethernet Fiber ports, one GBIC port, one console port,
one LED-Indicator for Power, one LED-Indicator (LNK/ACT) for the
GBIC port and two LED-Indicators (LNK/ACT, FDX/COL) for each Fiber
port.

There are two LED-Indicators (LNK/ACT, FDX/COL) for each Fiber port,
one LED-Indicator (LNK/ACT) for the GBIC port and one LED-Indicator
for power. The following table provides descriptions of the LED statuses
and meaning. They provide a real-time indication of systematic
operation status.

Rear Panel

The 3-pronged power plug and the power on/off switch are located at
the Rear Panel of the MIL-SM808G switch, as shown in Figure 2-3. The
switches will work with AC in the range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.

Desktop Installation

Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet
nearby. The surface where you put your switch should be clean, smooth,
level, and sturdy. Provide enough clearance around the switch to allow
attachment of cables, power cord and air circulation.

Attaching Rubber Feet

A. Make sure the mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is

grease and dust free.
B. Remove adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
C. Apply the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch.

These footpads can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.

Figure 2-4. Attaching Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the
Switch

Power On

Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the
Switch. Connect the other end of the cord to an appropriate power
outlet. The internal power supply in the switch works with AC in the
voltage range 100-240VAC, frequency 50~60Hz.

Press the power On/Off switch to the On position and check the power
indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.

Network Application

Segment Application

For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly
processed, this switch is suitable for department users to connect to the
corporate backbone.

You can use the MIL-SM808G switch to connect PCs, workstations, and
servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the switch.

You can also use any of the Fiber ports of MIL-SM808G to connect with
another Switch or Hub to interconnect each of your small switched
workgroups to form a larger and long distance switched network.

Network Configuration

Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port

Console management involves the administration of the switch via a
direct connection to the RS-232 console port. This port is a female DB-9
connector. From the main menu of the console program, the user has
access to manage the functions of the switch.

Figure 4-1. Connecting the switch to a terminal via RS-232 cable

Use the supplied RS-232 cable to connect a terminal or PC to the
console port. The terminal or PC to be connected must support the
terminal emulation program.

10

After the connection between Switch and PC is finished, turn on the PC
and run a terminal emulation program or Hyper Terminal to match the
following default characteristics of the console port:

Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Data Bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None

Figure 4-2. The settings of communication parameters

After you have entered the parameter settings, press the “ Enter “ Key
and the Main Menu of console management appears.

Console – Menu

1. The switch also provides a serial interface to manage and monitor the
switch. The user can follow the Console Port Information provided by
the web to use the Windows HyperTerminal program to link the switch.

2. Type the user name and password to login. The default user name is
“root”; the default password is “root”.

3. The timeout on the console port is 60 seconds. If no action is taken
on the console screen for one minute, the program reverts back to the
logon screen and a new login is necessary in order to continue.

4. The switch is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.77. The
default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
