10/100/1000BASE-T ports, and then turn on the Industrial Managed Switch. The port will automatically run in 10Mbps,
20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps and 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after negotiating with the connected device.
100BASE-FX/1000BASE-SX/LX
The Industrial Managed Switch has four SFP interfaces that support 100/1000Mbps dual speed mode (optional
It is recommended to use PLANET SFPs on the Industrial Managed Switch. If you insert an
SFP transceiver that is not supported, the Industrial Managed Switch might not recognize it.
Please choose the SFP transceiver which can be operated in the temperature range of -40~75
degrees C.
1000BASE-SX/LX:
Before connecting the other switches, workstation or media converter,
1. Make sure both sides of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type, for example, 1000BASE-SX to 1000BASE-SX,
1000BASE-LX to 1000BASE-LX.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches the SFP transceiver model.
To connect to 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable -- with one side being the male duplex
LC connector type.
To connect to 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable -- with one side being the male duplex
LC connector type.
Connect the fiber cable
1. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable to the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device – switches with SFP installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or a media
converter.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the Industrial Managed Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver
is operating correctly.
100BASE-FX:
Before connecting the other switches, workstation or media converter,
1. Make sure both sides of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type or WDM pair, for example, 100BASE-FX to
100BASE-FX, 100BASE-BX20-U to 100BASE-BX20-D.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches the SFP transceiver model.
To connect to MFB-FX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable -- with one side being the male duplex LC
connector type.
To connect to MFB-F20/F40/F60/FA20/FB20 SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable -- with one side being
the male duplex LC connector type.
Connect the fiber cable
1. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable to the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device – switches with SFP installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or a media
converter.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot of the switch/converter. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link fails. It can function with some fiber-NICs or media converters, and set the
Link mode to “100 Force” when needed.

2.3.2 Removing the SFP Transceiver
1. Make sure there is no network activity by consulting or checking with the network administrator. Or through the
management interface of the switch/converter (if available) to disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the fiber optic cable gently.
3. Turn the lever of the MGB/MFB module to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.
Figure 2-26: Pull out the SFP Transceiver Module
Never pull out the module without pulling the lever or the push bolts on the module. Directly pulling
out the module with force could damage the module and SFP module slot of the device.

3.2 Management Access Overview
The Industrial Managed Switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it using any or all of the following methods:
Remote Telnet Interface
Web browser Interface
An external SNMP-based network management application
The remote Telnet and Web browser interfaces are embedded in the Industrial Managed Switch software and are available for
immediate use. Each of these management methods has their own advantages. Table 3-1 compares the three management
methods.
Method Advantages Disadvantages

3.3 CLI Mode Management
There are two ways for CLI mode management, one is remote telnet and the other operated from console port. Remote telnet is
an IP-based protocol and console port is for user to operate the Industrial Managed Switch locally only; however, their
operations are the same.
The command line user interface is for performing system administration, such as displaying statistics or changing option
settings. When this method is used, you can access the Industrial Managed Switch remote telnet interface from personal
computer, or workstation in the same Ethernet environment as long as you know the current IP address of the Industrial
Managed Switch.
Direct Access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a
terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal, ProcommPlus, putty, tera term) to the Managed Switch console (serial)
port. When using this management method, a straight DB9 RS-232 cable is required to connect the switch to the PC. After
making this connection, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters:
The default parameters are:
115200 bps baud rate
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
Page 64
User’s Manual
64
You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred because you can
remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port,
regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any
terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator

3.4 Web Management
The Industrial Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Industrial Managed Switch from
anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. After you set up your IP address for
the Industrial Managed Switch, you can access the Industrial Managed Switch’s Web interface applications directly in your
Web browser by entering the IP address of the Industrial Managed Switch.
Figure 3-3: Web Management
You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Industrial Managed Switch configuration parameters from one
central location; the Web Management requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 or later.

3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Industrial Managed Switch, such as SNMP
Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires
the SNMP agent on the Industrial Managed 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 gets and sets community strings for the Industrial
Managed Switch are public.

About Web-based Management
The Industrial Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Industrial Managed 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 reducing network
bandwidth consumption, enhancing access speed and presenting an easy viewing screen.
By default, IE7
explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
The Industrial Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, making sure the manager PC must be set
on same the IP subnet address with the Industrial Managed Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the Industrial Managed 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 Industrial Managed 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 related
configuration on manager PC.

4.2.9 DHCP Relay
Configure DHCP Relay on this page. DHCP Relay is used to forward and to transfer DHCP messages between the clients and
the server when they are not on the same subnet domain.
The DHCP option 82 enables a DHCP relay agent to insert specific information into a DHCP request packets when forwarding
client DHCP packets to a DHCP server and remove the specific information from a DHCP reply packets when forwarding server
DHCP packets to a DHCP client. The DHCP server can use this information to implement IP address or other assignment
policies. Specifically the option works by setting two sub-options:
Circuit ID (option 1)
Remote ID (option 2).
The Circuit ID sub-option is supposed to include information specific to which circuit the request came in on.
The Remote ID sub-option was designed to carry information relating to the remote host end of the circuit.

contains relay agent information. It will enforce the policy. And it only works under
The definition of Circuit ID in the switch is 4 bytes in length and the format is "vlan_id" "module_id" "port_no". The parameter of
"vlan_id" is the first two bytes representing the VLAN ID. The parameter of "module_id" is the third byte for the module ID (in
standalone switch it always equals 0; in stackable switch it means switch ID). The parameter of "port_no" is the fourth byte and it
means the port number.
The Remote ID is 6 bytes in length, and the value equals the DHCP relay agent’s MAC address. The DHCP Relay Configuration
