1. Introduction

The MIL-SM801P, MIL-SM801G and MIL-SM800P managed series of
compact desktop switches are ideal solutions for network users. They
provide wire-speed, Fast Ethernet switching providing high­performance data transfer. The switches feature a store-and-forward
architecture with auto-learning of source addresses with an 8K-entry
MAC address table.

Figure 1-1. The MIL-SM801P switch

The switches provide 8 switched auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
Ethernet ports. The MIL-SM801P provides one additional 100BASE-FX
fiber port and the MIL-SM801G provides one additional 1000BASE-SX
Gigabit Ethernet port. The switch automatically detects the speed of
the device attached allowing use of both 10 and 100Mbps devices. In
addition, each RJ-45 port supports Auto MDI/MDIX.

There are 4 types of fiber connectors available on the MIL-SM801P
switch. These fiber connectors include SC, MT-RJ, and VF-45 in multi­mode and SC in single-mode. The fiber port can be used to connect to
remote sites up to 220 meters using multi-mode or 15 kilometers with
SC single-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-SM801P, MIL-SM801G and MIL-SM800P 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 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.

SNMP Network Management

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

Rear Panel

The Console port and 3-pronged power plug are located at the Rear
Panel of the MIL-SM801P, MIL-SM801G and MIL-SM800P switches as
shown in Figure 2-5. The switches will work with AC in the range 100­240V AC, 50-60Hz.

Figure 2-5. The Rear Panel of the switch

Console Port: Console management can be done through the Console
Port. It requires a direct connection between the switch and an end
station (PC) via a RS-232 cable.

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.

6

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 protect the switch from shock and vibration.

Figure 2-6. 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. Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is
properly supplied. The internal power supply works with AC in the
voltage range 100-240VAC, frequency 50~60Hz. Country specific
power cords are available for the unit.

3. Network Application

Desktop Application

The switch can be used as a standalone switch connecting personal
computers, servers, or print servers directly connecting to form small
workgroups.

Figure 3-1. Desktop Application

Segment Application

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

4. 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 DB­9 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 HyperTerminal to match
the following default characteristics of the console port:

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

Figure 4-2. The settings of communication parameters

After you have finished 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.

monitoring port.

Press the Space key to change the configuration of an item.

1. Analysis State: Select YES or NO to enable the port-mirroring function.

4-3-4. VLAN Configuration

All ports are automatically placed in VLAN 1, the default VLAN. To create
new VLANs, use the Create a VLAN Group menu and add a VLAN. Make
sure when you enter a VLAN name you do not leave spaces. For example
VLAN2 is correct; VLAN 2 will give an error. The VLAN name can be any 15
alphanumeric characters. Special characters are not allowed.

22

4-3-4-1. VLAN Configuration

Choose a VLAN

In the VLAN Configure menu select the type of VLAN you want to configure: No
VLAN (default), Port Based, 802.1Q, or 802.1Q with GVRP. Save the

configuration. There are 4 different options for VLANs to choose from using

the space bar: Disabled, Port Based, 802.1Q and 802.1Q with GVRP.

Port Based VLANs

These VLANs only apply to this switch. The VLANs can be overlapping, meaning
that any port can belong to more than one VLAN. One configuration that is
common for port based VLANs is to have all the ports on the switch on separate
VLANs except for the port that has the server connected. The port connected to
the server belongs to all the VLANs. This enables security between ports but
allows all ports access to the server. Up to 256 different port based VLANs may
be configured.
