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 Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link failed. Co works with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, set the Link
mode to “1000 Force” is needed.
Remove the transceiver module
1. Make sure there is no network activity by consult or check 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 handle of the MGB/MFB module to horizontal.
4. Pull out the module gently through the handle.

3. CONFIGURATION
This chapter explains the methods that you can use to configure management access to the Switch. It describes the types of
management applications and the communication and management protocols that deliver data between your management
device (work-station or personal computer) and the system. It also contains information about port connection options.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Management Access Overview
Key Concepts
Key Guidelines for Implementation
Administration Console Access
Web Management Access
SNMP Access
Standards, Protocols, and Related Reading
3.1 Management Access Overview
The Switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage the Switch using any or all of the following methods:
An administration console
Web browser interface
An external SNMP-based network management application
The administration console and Web browser interface support are embedded in the 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.

3.1.1 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 switch's console (serial) port.
There are two ways to use this management method: via direct access or modem port access. The following sections describe
these methods. For more information about using the console, refer to Chapter 5 Command Line Interface Console
Management.
3.1.2 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 Switch console (serial) port.
When using this management method, a null-modem 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:
38400 bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
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.
3.2 Web Management
The Switch provides a browser interface that lets you configure and manage the switch remotely. After you set up your IP
address for the Switch, you can access the Switch's Web interface applications directly in your Web browser by entering the IP
address of the Switch. You can then use your Web browser to list and manage Switch configuration parameters from one central
location, just as if you were directly connected to the Switch's console port.
Web Management requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.03 or later.

3.3 SNMP-Based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Switch. 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 Net-work
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 Switch are public.
3.4 Protocols
The Switch supports the following protocols:
Virtual terminal protocols, such as Telnet
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
3.4.1 Virtual Terminal Protocols
A virtual terminal protocol is a software program, such as Telnet, that allows you to establish a management session from a
Macintosh, a PC, or a UNIX workstation. Because Telnet runs over TCP/IP, you must have at least one IP address configured on
the switch before you can establish access to it with a virtual terminal protocol.
Terminal emulation differs from a virtual terminal protocol in that you must connect a terminal directly
#Notice:
to the console (serial) port.
3.4.2 SNMP Protocol
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the standard management protocol for multi-vendor IP networks. SNMP
supports transaction-based queries that allow the protocol to format messages and to transmit information between reporting
devices and data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), offering a connectionless-mode
service.
3.4.3 Management Architecture
All of the management application modules use the same Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI). By unifying
management methods with a single MAPI, configuration parameters set using one method (console port, for example) are
immediately displayable by the other management methods (for example, SNMP agent of Web browser).
The management architecture of the Switch adheres to the IEEE open standard. This compliance assures customers that the
Switch is compatible with, and will interoperate with other solutions that adhere to the same open standard.

4. Web Configuration
The WGSW-24020/WGSW-48040 can be configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure the manager PC must be set
on same the IP subnet address with the switch. For example, if you have changed the default IP address of the 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 1 and 253) with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Or you can use the factory default IP address 192.168.1.254 to
do the relative configuration on manager PC. The sceen in Figure 4-1 appears.
