be active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will
Power Notice:
■ Console Port
prevent you from network data loss or network downtime.
In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your Managed Switch
from unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power adapter.
The console port is a DB9, RS-232 male serial port connector. It is an interface for connecting a terminal directly. Through
the console port, it provides rich diagnostic information including IP address setting, factory reset, port management, link
status and system setting. Users can use the attached RS-232 cable in the package and connect to the console port on the
device. After the connection, users can run any terminal emulation program (Hyper Terminal, ProComm Plus, Telix,
Winterm and so on) to enter the startup screen of the device.

It is recommended to use PLANET SFPs on the Managed Switch. If you insert an SFP transceiver
that is not supported, the Managed Switch will not recognize it.
Before connecting the other Managed 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,
1000Bas-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 male duplex LC
connector type.
To connect to 1000Base-LX SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable -- with one side being male duplex LC
connector type.
Connecting 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 Managed Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating
correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link fails. It works with some fiber-NICs or media converters and sets the link
mode to “1000 Force” or “100 Force” when needed.
Removing the transceiver module
1. Make sure there is no network activity by checking with the network administrator. Or through the management interface
of the switch/converter (if available), disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the fiber optic cable gently.
3. Turn the lever of the MGB module to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.
Figure 2-11 Pull out the SFP transceiver

User’s Manual of WGSD-10020 Series
3.3 Administration Console
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user interface for performing system
administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration
console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the Managed Switch's console
(serial) port.
Figure 3-1-1: Console Management
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) 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
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
Figure 3-1-2: Terminal Parameter Settings

User’s Manual of WGSD-10020 Series
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
such as TIP.
3.4 Web Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the 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 switch, you can
access the Managed Switch's Web interface applications directly in your Web browser by entering the IP address of the
Managed Switch.
Figure 3-1-3: Web Management
You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Switch configuration parameters from one central location,
just as if you were directly connected to the Managed Switch's console port. Web Management requires either Microsoft
Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, Safari or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later.

User’s Manual of WGSD-10020 Series
3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the 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 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 Managed Switch are public.

3.6 PLANET Smart Discovery Utility
For easily listing the Managed Switch in your Ethernet environment, the Planet Smart Discovery Utility from user’s manual
CD-ROM is an ideal solution. The following installation instructions are to guide you to running the Planet Smart Discovery
Utility.
1. Deposit the Planet Smart Discovery Utility in administrator PC.
2. Run this utility as the following screen appears.
1. This utility shows all necessary information from the devices, such as MAC address, device name, firmware version and
device IP subnet address. It can also assign new password, IP Subnet address and description for the devices.
2. After setup is completed, press “Update Device”, “Update Multi” or “Update All” button to take effect. The meaning of
the 3 buttons above are shown below:
Update Device: use current setting on one single device.
Update Multi: use current setting on multi-devices.
Update All: use current setting on whole device in the list.
The same functions mentioned above also can be found in “Option” tools bar.
3. To click the “Control Packet Force Broadcast” function, it can allow you to assign a new setting value to the Web Smart
Switch under a different IP subnet address.
4. Press “Connect to Device” button and the Web login screen appears in Figure 3-1-4.
5. Press “Exit” button to shut down the Planet Smart Discovery Utility.

4. WEB CONFIGURATION
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-based management from Managed Switch.
About Web-based Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-based Management supports Internet Explorer 7.0. 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, IE7.0 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 Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, making sure the manager PC must be set on the same
IP subnet address with the Managed Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the 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 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 relative configuration on
manager PC.
Figure 4-1-1: Web Management
Logging on the Managed Switch
1. Use Internet Explorer 7.0 or above Web browser. Enter the factory default IP address to access the Web interface. The
factory default IP address is shown as follows:
http://192.168.0.100
2. When the following login screen appears, please enter the default username "admin" with password “admin” (or the
