1. Product Outline
Switch-M48eG is an all Giga bit Ethernet Switching Hub with management
function having 44 ports of 10/100/1000BASE-T and four pairs of
10/100/1000BASE-T port and SFP extension slot, one of which is selectable.
1.1. Features
Has wire-speed Layer 2 switching function.
Ports 1 to 44 are 10/100/1000BASE-T ports corresponding to auto
negotiation. Also their speed and communication mode can be switched
by configuration. Ports 45 to 48 can be used as a 10/100/1000BASE-T
port corresponding to auto negotiation or an SFP extension slot
exclusively. Also their speed and communication mode can be switched
by configuration.
All twisted pair ports support straight/cross cable auto sensing function.
Simply connect devices with straight cables, whether it is a terminal or a
network device.
(This function does not work if the port communication configuration is
set at Fixed or Link Aggregation. Ports 1 to 44 are set at MDI-X. (default))
Has a loop detection function, which notifies when a loop occurs with
the corresponding port LED and automatically shuts down the looped
port.
Has a loop detection history function, which notifies when a loop occurs
with the corresponding LED and enables a network administrator to
identify the looped port after the loop is removed.
VLAN function allows free grouping of up to 256 VLANs
Fanless design solves noise problem or fan failure.
Use of LED indicator switching button saves power consumption of LED
lamps.
The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.
Has an Internet mansion function, which ensures security between each
door.
Power saving mode detects the connection status automatically and
saves power consumption to minimum.
12
Telnet and SSH functions facilitate remote setting change and
confirmation.
Standard MIB (MIB II, Bridge MIB, etc.) is supported, enabling remote
control by using the SNMP manager. (For details, refer to Appendix A
and Appendix C.)
Link aggregation function is supported. Aggregation can be manually
configured up to 8 ports.
Reboot timer function is supported, enabling auto reboot after a
scheduled time (24 hours or less).
Equipped with energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) conforming to IEEE802.3az
(LPI). When there is no data transmission at link up, the energy-saving
state automati- cally starts so that power consumption can be reduced
on each port.

1.4.3. Loop detection function
Turns on the port LED with an orange light when a loop occurs in the
corresponding port. At this time, the relevant port automatically shuts down
(default setting: 60 sec.) to prevent loop from occurring. If the loop is still not
removed, the port will shut down again. Remove the loop while the port is
shut off.
The loop detection/shut-off function can be switched on/off by keeping
pressing the LED display switch button for more than 10 seconds or by
setting in the configuration menu. For details on the configuration menu,
refer to 4.7.8. If switching properly takes place, LOOP HISTORY LED turns on
to complete switchover.
The loop history can be reset by powering off the Switching Hub and then
on.
19
1.5. LED Display Change Button
1.5.1. Setting LED Base Mode
You can select display of LEDs in this Switching Hub from two types: Status
mode and Eco mode.
The mode selected at system start-up is called the base mode. The base mode
can be switched by keeping pressing the LED display switch button for more
than 3 seconds. After pressing the LED display switch button for more than 3
seconds, STATUS/ECO, GIGA, 100M, and FULL LEDs will turn on at once, and
then the mode will switch over.
Status mode (Factory default setting)
According to the port LED display mode, port LED shows the status of each
port. In status mode, STATUS/ECO LED lights in green.
ECO mode
Regardless of whether a device is connected or not,
all LEDs other than
POWER and STATUS/ECO LEDs turn off
to save power. In ECO mode,
STATUS/ECO LED flashes in green.
The base mode can be set from the configuration menu of this Switching
Hub. For details, refer to 4.6.7.h.
1.5.2. LED Display Switchover
By pressing the LED display switch button on the front panel, display of port
LED can be changed in the following order.
Port LED display mode Description
STATUS/ECO Shows link establishment and communication status.
GIGA Shows linkup status at 1000 Mbps.
100M Shows linkup status at 100 Mbps.
FULL Shows linkup status at full-duplex or half-duplex.
LOOP HISTORY Shows loop detection and port shut-off status.
20
If the port LED display mode is switched to other than STATUS/ECO and then
no operation is executed for more than 1 minute, the mode automatically
shifts to the base mode.
21
2. Installation
Switch-M48eG can be installed to a stainless steel product, a 19-inch rack, or
on the wall.
2.1. Mounting to 19-inch Rack
Take out the supplied 2 mounting brackets (for 19-inch rack) and 8 screws
(for fixing the main unit and the mounting bracket), and fix the brackets to
the main unit by tightening screws into 4 holes located at the sides. Then,
mount this Switching Hub firmly to the rack using the supplied 4 screws (for
19-inch rack) or screws furnished at the rack.
The main unit can be placed 20 mm back on the rack by changing the bracket
fixing position.
Fig. 2-1 Mounting to 19-inch Rack

3. Connection
3.1. Connection Using a Twisted Pair Port
Connection Cable
Use a CAT5E or higher twisted pair cable with 8P8C RJ45 modular plug.
Network Configuration
Fig. 3-1 Example of Connection
The length of the cable connecting this Switching Hub and a device must be
100 m or shorter. When a terminal or a LAN device with auto negotiation
function is connected to this Switching Hub, the port is automatically
configured at the highest performance mode. When a terminal or a LAN
device without auto negotiation function is connected to this Switching Hub,
this Switching Hub automatically determines and sets the communication
speed; however, the full-duplex/half-duplex configuration is set at
half-duplex because the full-duplex/half-duplex capability cannot be
determined. When connecting a terminal or a LAN device without auto
negotiation function, a fixed-mode port configuration needs to be set.
Note: If a fixed-ode port configuration is set, Auto-MDI/MDI-X function
does not work. Therefore, use a cross cable to connect them.

3.2. Connection Using an SFP Extension Slot
Fig. 3-2 Example of Optical Fiber Cable Connection
Plugging an SFP module (optional) into an SFP extension slot enables an
optical fiber connection. Connect this Switching Hub's TX port to the RX port
of the connected device and this Switching Hub's RX port to the TX port of
the connected device.
If a twisted pair cable and an SFP module are simultaneously connected to
combo ports that are used exclusively, SFP link has a priority.

3.3. Connection to Power
Connect the supplied power code to the power port of this Switching Hub
and connect the other end into an electric outlet. This Switching Hub
operates at 100-240 V (50/60 Hz).
This Switching Hub does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Plugging the
power cord turns on this Switching Hub's power and the operation starts. To
power off, unplug the power code from the electric outlet.
25
4. Configuration
Upon power on, this Switching Hub starts working as a switching hub. To use
the SNMP management functionality or other unique functions, you need to
configure the Switching Hub using a console port, Telnet, or SSH.
In this chapter, the configuration of this Switching Hub is explained.
Note: You need to configure an IP address to access this Switching Hub via
Telnet or SSH. Therefore, configure an IP address first via the console
port, before accessing via Telnet or SSH.
4.1. Connecting via Console Port
Console connection requires a DEC VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal,
or a terminal capable of running a VT100-compatible terminal emulator,
such as HyperTerminal on Windows XP or older. Connect a terminal of this
kind to the console port of this Switching Hub.
Configure the communication mode for the asynchronous terminal as
follows:
Transmission mode: RS-232C (ITU-TS V.24 compatible)
Emulation mode: VT100
Transmission speed: 9600 bps
Data length: 8 bit
Stop bit: 1 bit
Parity control: None
Flow control: None
26
4.2. Login
If you access the Switching Hub via the console port, a screen shown in Fig.
4-2-1 appears.
If this screen does not appear, press Enter key to refresh the display or
confirm that there is no error in configuration of communication mode and
others.
Fig. 4-2-1 Login Screen (Console)
If accessing the Switching Hub via Telnet, a similar login screen appears,
