It is recommended to use PLANET SFP on the PoE Web Smart Switch. If you insert an SFP
transceiver that is not supported, the PoE Web Smart Switch will not recognize it.
1. Before we connect PoE Web Smart Switch to the other network device, we have to make sure both sides of the SFP
transceivers are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to 1000Base-SX, 1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches with the SFP transceiver requirement.
To connect to 1000Base-SX SFP transceiver, please use the multi-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type.
To connect to 1000Base-LX SFP transceiver, please use the single-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type.
Connect the Fiber Cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with SFP transceiver installed.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the PoE Web Smart Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is
operating correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link fails. To function with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, user has to set
the port Link mode to “1000 Force”.
21
Remove the Transceiver Module
1. Make sure there is no network activity anymore.
2. Remove the Fiber-Optic Cable gently.
3. Lift up the lever of the MGB module and turn it to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.

need to know only the IP address and
subnet mask)
May encounter lag times on poor
connections
Requires SNMP manager software
Least visually appealing of all three
methods
Some settings require calculations
Security can be compromised (hackers
need to know only the community name)
Table 3-1 Comparison of Management Methods
The PoE Web Smart Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the PoE Web Smart Switch from anywhere
on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. After you set up your IP address for the switch,
you can access the PoE Web Smart Switch's Web interface applications directly in your Web browser by entering the IP address
of the PoE Web Smart Switch.

3.4 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the PoE Web Smart Switch, such as SNMPc
Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires
the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This
management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the
SNMP Network Management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only
knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default get and set community strings for the PoE Web Smart
Switch are public.

4. WEB CONFIGURATION
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-based management.
About Web-based Management
The PoE Web Smart Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the PoE Web Smart Switch from anywhere
on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-based Management supports Internet Explorer 8.0. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network
bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
By default, IE8.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has to
explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
The PoE Web Smart Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, making sure the manager PC must be set on
the same IP subnet address as the PoE Web Smart Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the PoE Web Smart Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set at
192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
If you have changed the default IP address of the PoE Web Smart Switch to 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via
console, then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do the relative
configuration on manager PC.
