2.3 Mounting the Switch

The switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack. Before you start installing the switch, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. Verify the following installation requirements:
• Power requirements: 100 to 240 V AC (+/-10%) at 50 to 60 Hz (+/-3Hz). The switch's power supply automatically adjusts to the input voltage level.
• The switch should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm. (4 in.) of space on the sides for ventilation.
• Place the switch out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with a high amou nt of electromagnetic interference.
• If you intend to mount the switch in a rack, make sure you have all the necessary mounting screws, brackets, bolts and nuts, and the right tools.
• Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.

2.3.1 Mounting Switches in a Rack

Please comply with the following instructions to ensure that your switch is securely mounted in the rack.
• Use a standard EIA 19-inch rack.
• Use the brackets and screws supplied in the rack mounting kit.
• Use a cross-head screwdriver to attach the brackets to the side of the switch.
• Position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on
the rack, and then use the supplied screws to mount the switch in the rack.

2.4 Connecting the Switch System

The transmission speed for each port on the switch is automatically set by the switch to match the highest speed supported by the connected device. The transmission mode can be set for each port using auto-negotiation (if also supported by the attached device). However, if the device attached to any port on the switch does not support auto-negotiation, you can manually configure the transmission mode via the console port on the rear panel, or via an in-band connection (including Telnet, the Web agent).
WGS3 Layer 3 Switch User’s Manual

2.4.1 Making a Connection to an RJ-45 Port

The Gigabit copper ports support Auto-MDI/MDI-X. You can use straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cable to connect any gigabit copper port on the switch to any device that uses a standard network interface such as a workstation or server, or to a network intercon nection device such as a bridge or router.
Prepare the network devices you wish to network. Make sure you have installed 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T network interface cards for connecting to the switch's RJ-45 ports.
Prepare straight-through shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable s with RJ-45 plugs at both ends. Use 100-ohm Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for standard 10Mbps Ethernet connections, 100-ohm Category 5 cable for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet connections, or Category 5e cable for 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of the network interface card, and the other end to any available RJ-45 port on the switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated. Using the switch in a stand-alone configuration, you can network up to 26 end nodes
NOTE: Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). We advise using
Category 5e cable for all network connections to avoid any confusion or inco nvenience in the future when you upgrade attached devices to Gigabit Ethernet.
Restrictions on Cascade Length - The IEEE 802.3 standard recommends restricting the number of hubs (i.e., repeaters) cascaded via twisted-pair cable to 4; while IEEE 802.3u provides even stricter recommendations for Fast Ethernet. Therefore, when cascading devices other than this switch, please refer to the accompanying documentation for cascade restrictions. However, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.

2.4.2 Making a Connection to an Gigabit Fiber Module

The modules are fitted with SC connectors. Please be sure you run cable from the Rx (Tx) port on the module to the Tx (Rx) port on the target device. The length of Gigabit fiber optic cable for a single switched link should not exceed 220m for 62.5/125 multimode fiber and 500 m for 50/125 multimode fiber. However, power budget constraints must also be considered when calculatin g the maximum cable length for your specific environment.

2.5 Powering On the Switch

Plug the power cord into the power socket on the rear of the switch, and the other end into a power outlet.
Check the LED marked PWR on the front panel to see if it is on. The unit will automatically select the setting that matches the connected input voltage. Therefore, no additional adjustments are necessary when connecting it to any input voltage within the range marked on the rear panel.
The switch performs a self-diagnostic test upon power-on. (Note that this test takes about one minute to complete.)
WGS3 Layer 3 Switch User’s Manual
- 9 -
NOTE: The unit supports a "hot remove" feature which permits you to connect or disconnect
twisted-pair or fiber cables without powering off the switch and without disrupting the operation of the devices attached to the switch. However, due to the spanning tree learning process, the new attached device may takes about 30 seconds to be able to connect the other devices. This period can be shortened by adjusting the spanning tree configuration.

2.6 Verifying System Operation

Verify that all attached devices have a valid connection. The switch monitors the link status for each port. If any device is properly connected to the switch and transmitting a link beat signal, the Link indicator will light up for the corresponding port. If the Link indicator fails to light when you connect a device to the switch, check the following items:
Be sure all network cables and connectors are properly attached to the connected device and the switch. See if your cable is functioning properly by using it for another port and attached device that displays
valid indications when connected to the network. Be sure no twisted-pair cable exceeds 100 meters (328 feet).

Chapter 3. Switch Management

3.1 Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the on-board management agent provides a menu-driven system configuration program. This program can be accessed by serial port on the rear panel (out-of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).
The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any PC in the network using in-band management software.
The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web agent can be accessed using Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later from any computer attached to the network.
The system configuration program and the SNMP agent support management functions such as:
• Enable/disable any port
• Set the communication mode for any port
• Configure SNMP parameters
• Add ports to network VLANs
• Configure IP routing and multicast VLANs
• Display system information or statisti cs
• Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree
• Download system firmware

3.2 Required Connections

3.2.1 Console Port (Out-of-Band) Connections

Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the seria l port on the switch’ s rear panel. Use the null-modem cable provided with this package, or use a null modem connection that complies with the wiring assignments shown in Appendix B of this manual.
When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 19200 bps (for initial configuration). Also be sure to set flow control to “none.” (Refer to “Configuring the Serial Port” for a complete description of configuration options.)
NOTE: If the default settings for the management agent’s serial port have been modified and you are
having difficulty making a console connection, you can display or modify the current settings using a Web browser as described under “Configuring the Serial Port”.
WGS3 Layer 3 Switch User’s Manual
- 11 -

3.2.2 In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the switch’ s on-board agent via a network connection, you must first config ure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (for Layer 2 mode) using an out-of-band connection.
After configuring the switch’ s IP parameters, you can access the on-board configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The on-board configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or from a network computer using SNMP network management software.
Please note that:
• Each VLAN group can be assigned its own IP interface address. Therefore, if the port connected to the management station has joined several VLANs, you can manage the switch via any of these IP addresses.
• This switch supports four concurrent Telnet sessions.
• The on-board program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To access the full
range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMP- based network management software.
