2. INSTALLATION
This section describes the functionalities of the Switch's components and guides how to install it on the
desktop or shelf. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before
continuing.
2.1 Product Description
2.1.1 Product Overview
The PLANET WSW-2401A is a 24-Port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet Switch with 1-Port open slot for
100Mbps Fiber interface which boasts a high performance switch architecture that is capable of providing
non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 5Gbps. Its optional 100Base-FX fiber
slot also offers incredible extensibility, flexibility and connectivity to the Core switch or Servers.
The IEEE 802 standard-based firmware provides a rich set of features and ensures interoperability with
equipment from other vendors. Additionally, the firmware includes advanced features such as IGMP
snooping, broadcast storm control, and MAC address filtering, to enhance security and bandwidth
utilization.
With its built-in web-based management, the PLANET WSW-2401A offers an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration facility. The PLANET WSW-2401A supports
standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard-based
management software. For text-based management, the WSW-2401A can also be accessed via Telnet
and the console port.
2.1.2 Switch Front Panel
Figure 2-1 shows the front panel of the switch.

2.1.3 LED Indications
Network:
LED Color Function
PWR Green Lights to indicate that the Switch is powered on.
SYS Green Lights to indicate the system is working.
LNK/ACT Green Blink to indicate that the switch is actively sending or receiving data over that
port.
FDX/COL Green Lights to indicate the port is running duplex mode..
10/100 Green Lights to indicate the port is 100Mbps connection.
2.1.4 Switch Rear Panel

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 Install the Switch
This section describes how to install the Ethernet Switch and make connections to it. Please read the
following topics and perform the procedures in the order being presented.
2.2.1 Desktop Installation
To install the Switch on desktop or shelf, please follows these steps:
Step1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the switch.
Step2: Place the switch on the desktop or the 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 restrictions discussed in
Chapter 1, Section 4, in Specification.
Step4: Connect the Switch to network devices.
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports on the front of the
Switch
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 switch.
B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall outlet.
When the switch receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.
2.2.2 Rack Mounting
To install the switch in a 19-inch standard rack, please follows the instructions described below.
Step1: Place the switch on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards the front side.
Step2: Attach the rack-mount bracket to each side of the switch with supplied screws attached to the
package.
Figure 2-5 shows how to attach brackets to one side of the switch.
Figure 2-5 Attach brackets to the switch.
Caution:
You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using
incorrect screws would invalidate the warranty.
Step3: Secure the brackets tightly.
Step4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
Step5: After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets
to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-6
Figure 2-6 Mounting the Switch in a Rack
Step6: Proceeds with the steps 4 and steps 5 of session 2.2.1 Desktop Installation to connect the
network cabling and supply power to the switch.
3. CONSOLE MANAGEMENT
3.1 Connecting to the Switch
The console port is a female DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring
and configuring the Switch. Use the supplied RS-232 cable with a male DB-9 connector to connect a
terminal or PC to the Console port. The Console configuration (out of band) allows you to set Switch for
remote terminal as if the console terminal were directly connected to it.
3.2 Login in the Console Interface
When the connection between Switch and PC is ready, turn on the PC and run a terminal emulation
program or Hyper Terminal and configure its communication parameters to match the following default
characteristics of the console port:
Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Data Bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop Bit: 1
Flow control: None
After finished the parameter settings, click “OK“. When the prompt shows “switch>”, type “?” for help or
The settings of communication parameters
type “enable” for further configuration. The system needs password for further configuration. After the
“enable” command, the system asks for password, please enter “admin” for the default password. As
shows in the following screen:
Console login screen
3.3 Console Management
Entering a question mark "?" at the prompt displays the list of commands available for command mode.
As shows in the following screen:
The question mark “?” command
3.4 Telnet login
The switch also supports telnet for remote management. The switch ask for user name and password for
remote login when using telnet, please use “admin” for username and “admin” for password.
3.5 Commands
There are two levels for console commands. The first level provides commands to show system
informations and current configurations. The second level (privileged mode) provides commands to set,
clear and show the configuration.
