this chapter completely before continuing.

2.1 Product Description

The PLANET FNSW-2402S provides 24 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch ports with 2
open slots for available for 10/100Base-TX/ 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet modules. The
optional modules can be 10/100Base-TX TP port or multi-mode ber using either SC or
ST connectors. The PLANET FNSW-2402S with non -blocking backplane and simplies the
task of upgrading your LAN to cater for increased bandwidth demand. Equipped with a
console interface, the FNSW-2402S Smart Switch can be programmed for basic switch
management functions such as port speed conguration, rate control, VLAN and Port
Trunking.

2.1.1 Product Overview

PLANET FNSW-2402S is a Smart Fast Ethernet switch with 24 RJ-45 10/100Mbps ports
and up to two 100Mbps ber ports or two 10/100Mbps TP ports for cost effective high­performance network connectivity. With its 8.8Gbps non-blocking switch fabric, the
PLANET FNSW-2402S can also provide a local, high bandwidth, Fast Ethernet network
for your departmental backbone plus the ability to trunk two ports (200Mbps) to enable
switch-to-switch backbone. The advanced functionality of the FNSW-2402S eliminates
traditional problems associated with the use of Ethernet. Users can be segregated using
built-in VLAN functionality. This, coupled with the exible ber module options, make
the FNSW-2402S one of the best and most cost-effective MTU switch solutions for Multi­tenant service providers.

This product also supports store-and-forward forwarding scheme to ensure low latency
and high data integrity, eliminates unnecessary trafc and relieves congestion on critical
network paths. With an intelligent address recognition algorithm, FNSW-2402S could
recognize up to 6K different MAC address and enables ltering and forwarding at full
wire speed.

Power Notice:

1.The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is
powered. If your networks should active all the time, please consider using
UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from
network data loss or network downtime.

2.In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect
your switch from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the
Switch or the power adapter.

2.2 Installing a FNSW-2402S

This part describes how to install your FNSW-2402S Smart Fast Ethernet Switch and make
connections to the switch. Please read the following topics and perform the procedures in
the order being presented.

To install your FNSW-2402S on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps.

6

2.2.1 Desktop Installation

To install a FNSW-2402S on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps:

Step1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the switch.

Step2: Place the FNSW-2402S on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source.

Step3: Keep enough ventilation space between the switch and the surrounding

objects.

Note: When choosing a location, please keep in mind the environmental re-

strictions discussed in Chapter 1, Section 4, Specification.

Step4: Connect your FNSW-2402S to network devices

A.Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 10/100 RJ-45 ports on

the front of the FNSW-2402S.

B.Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer

servers, workstations or routers…etc.

Note: Connection to the Switch requires UTP Category 5 network cabling with

RJ-45 tips. For more information, please see the Cabling Specification
in Appendix A.

Step5: Supply power to the Switch.

A.Connect one end of the power cable to the FNSW-2402S

B.Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall outlet then

power on the FNSW-2402S.

When the FNSW-2402S receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.

2.2.2 Rack Mounting

To install the switch in a 19-inch standard rack, follow the instructions described below.

Step1: Place your FNSW-2402S on a hard flat surface, with the front panel posi-

tioned towards your front side.

Step2: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the switch with supplied

screws attached to the package. Figure 2-3 shows how to attach brackets
to one side of the switch.

Figure 2-3 Attaching the brackets to the FNSW-2402S

Caution:

You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage
caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your war­ranty.

Step 3: Secure the brackets tightly.

Step 4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.

Step 5: After the brackets are attached to the switch, use suitable screws to se

curely attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-4

Figure 2-4 Mounting the Switch in a Rack

Step 6: Proceed with the steps 4 and steps 5 of section 2.2.1 Desktop Installation

to connect the network cabling and supply power to your switch.

CONFIGURATION

Unlike the unmanaged switch, FNSW-2402S performs series smart functions that make
the switch operate more effectively. This section will describe the common usage of the
Switch Smart Conguration.

3.1 Preparing for conguration

3.1.1 Connecting a PC or Terminal to the RS-232 Port

When you are ready to congure the smart functions of the switch, make sure you had
connected the supplied RS-232 serial cable to the RS-232 port at the front panel of your
FNSW-2402S Switch and your PC.

3.1.2 Terminal Emulation Setup Program

In Windows 98/2000/XP, launch “HyperTerminal”, create a new connection, and adjust
settings as below:

• Emulation: VT-100 compatible

• Baud per second: 9600

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow Control: None

To get a demonstration, please see the Figure 3-1.

3.1.3 Power-up Self-test Status

As the switch powers on, it goes through a self-test process to ensure proper operations
of the FNSW-2402S hardware. The messages will be displayed to show the test progress.
When the test completes successfully, the system will display a login screen. If any of the
components fails during the test, you may need to contact your local dealer and have the
switch replaced. Figure 3-2 shows a successful Self-test menu of the Power-up System
Self-diagnostic Process.

Figure 3-2 Power-up System Self-diagnostic screen

3.1.4 Login

After the self-test completes successfully, the screen in gure 3-3 appears. Login is
required to access the console interface. The factory default username is “admin” without
password. You may change it in the Account Conguration. To access to the Main Menu,
please always enter the correct username and password.
