2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
This product series provide three different running speed – 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps in
the same switch and automatically distinguish the speed of incoming connection.
This section describes the hardware features of these Switches. For easier management and
control of the switch, familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel
illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before connecting any network device
to the switch, read this chapter carefully
There are following option module for expansion:
8-Port 10/100 auto-sensing Intelligent Switch Module
4-Port 100 Base-FX Intelligent Fiber Module
Gigabit 1000Base-T Intelligent Switch Module
Gigabit 1000Base-SX/LX Intelligent Fiber Module
2.1 Front Panel
The Front Panel of the MGSW-2402 Intelligent Switch consists of 24x auto-sensing 10/100Mbps
Ethernet RJ-45 Ports, two optional expansion slots, and Console port. The LED Indicators are
also located on the front panel of the Switch.

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.
2.3 Hardware Installation
2.3.1 Connecting end node or hub or switch
1. Place the Switch on a smooth surface or fasten the mounting brackets with the provided
screws in a standard 19” rack.
2. Connect switch or PC to one port of the Switch using Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP cabling.
3. Connect another switch or PC to the other port of Switch by following the same process
as described in Step2.
Notice:
Cable distance for Switch
The cable distance between Ethernet Switch and hub/PC should not exceed 100 meter
for UTP/STP cable, 220m for 62.5/125 fiber cable and 500m for 50/125 fiber cable.
Make sure the wiring is correct
It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps operation. To reliably operate your
network at 100Mbps and 1000Mbps, you must use an Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP)
Category 5 cable, or better Data Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cable may
initially seem to work, it will soon cause data loss.
2.3.2 Connecting to Network Backbone or Server
Connect to the Gigabit Ethernet ports with Category 5 copper cable or fiber optic cable for
uplinking to a network backbone or network server. These ports operate at 1000Mbps in
full-duplex mode. A valid connection is indicated when the Link LED is light. The following
sections describe the function of LEDs on the front panel

browser’s security setting should be set as following:
• For Netscape 4 or later:
1. Click on Edit
2. Pick up Preferences item
3. Select the Advanced category
4. Make sure Enable Java is checked
5. Make sure Enable JavaScript is checked
6. Press OK
• For Internet Explorer 4:
1. Click on View
2. Pick up Internet Options
3. Select the Security tab
4. Set Zone to Local Intranet
5. Click Add Sites, click Advanced and add the IP address of the switch to the zone
6. Set the security level to Custom
7. Press the Setting… button
8. Scroll down and set Java permissions to Custom
9. Press the Java Custom Settings button
10. Select the Edit Permissions tab
11. Set Run Unsigned Content to Enable
12. Press OK for all open dialog windows
• For Internet Explorer 5:
1. Click on Tools
2. Pick Internet Options
3. Select the Security tab
4. Select Local Intranet (click on the icon)
5. Click on Sites, click Advanced and add the IP address of the switch to the zone
6. Click on Custom Level
7. Scroll down and set Java Permissions to Custom

9. Select the Edit Permissions tab
10. Set Run Unsigned Content to Enable
11. Press OK for all open dialog windows
3.2 Web Pages
The arrangement of the Switch homepage consists of traditional web site hyperlinks
for associated information and Java windows for system management.
Upon connecting to the switch via a web browser (i.e. Netscape Navigator 4.0), Key in
the IP address of the switch or the alias name. The login screen will appear prompting
for an administrator user name and password. Enter the password to access the
switch’s management mode. (or simply hit Enter if password protection is disabled). If
a password box does not appear in the window, it means that the web browser’s
security setting is not correct for the JAVA applet. Section 3.1 outlines the correct
browser settings.
