Red Lion EL326 Quick Start Guide

QUICK START GUIDE

EL326

This Guide is for a typical installation. Refer to the manuals on the
supplied CD or www.sixnet.com for full installation and management
details.

1. Carefully remove the switch and accessories from the shipping

container and inspect them for damage. Contact Red Lion
immediately if any damage is discovered.

2. Install the mounting brackets

using the #10-32 screws provided.
There should be four per bracket.
The same brackets may be used
for both standards and revers
mounted configurations.

3. Install the switch into your rack using standard rack hardware

which is not included with the switch. Alternatively, you can skip
the rack installation if you would like to configure the switch
beforehand.

4. Plug in your SFP transceivers as desired.

5. Connect a power source to the

switch as appropriate for the
model you have. Please check the
part number and make sure you
are applying the correct power.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure to turn

OFF your power before making any connections to the switch. Make
sure you are applying the correct power to the correct screws. Follow
all local, national or regulatory rules that apply.

6. Turn on the power to the switch. The PWR 1 and/or PWR 2 LED

should be on solid.

7. Plug in your Ethernet cables and the switch will immediately start

to pass data.

8. Now you may configure the switch for more advanced

operations. To manage the switch, there are two primary
interface methods: CLI (Command Line Interface) and Web UI
(User Interface).

Accessing your switch over the network using the default IP address:

1. Connect the switch directly to your PC’s Ethernet port using any

Ethernet patch cable. The switch’s default IP and subnet are

192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0.

2. On your PC, go to Control Panel – Network Connections and

access the properties for your LAN’s Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Select “Use this IP address” and set the IP & subnet to

192.168.0.100 & 255.255.255.0. Close and reboot if prompted.

3. Run a web browser such as Internet Explorer and type

192.168.0.1 into the address bar and hit the enter key. Use
"admin" for both the username and password to access the web
interface.

4. In the IP Configuration screen, enter your desired IP and subnet,

or enable DHCP. Click on Apply to save these new settings to the
switch.

5. To make this change permanent you must go to the Copy screen

under File Management and select "running-config to startup­config" and click on Apply

6. Repeat step 2 to return your PC to its original IP address and

subnet mask.

Now you can access your switch using the new IP address! Just type it
into the web browser. Refer to the management guide or online help
for details on further configuring the switch.

Setting a new IP via the CLI (Command Line Interface):

1. Open your terminal program of choice (e.g. Hyperterminal) and

configure your serial port for 9600 8/N/1

2. At the main screen press <Enter> to display the login prompt

3. Login to the switch; the default username & password are both

admin

4. To enter the configuration menu, type config and press <Enter>

5. To access the interface-configuration mode, type interface vlan 1

and press <Enter>

6. Type IP address followed by your desired IP address and netmask

and press <Enter>

7. To return to the global configuration mode prompt, type exit and

press <Enter>

8. To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to

which the switch belongs, type ip default-gateway followed by
the IP address and press <Enter>

9. To leave the global configuration mode, type exit and press

<Enter>

10. To save the changes, type copy running-config startup-config

11. Define the startup filename or press <Enter> to accept the

default

12. You should now be able to access the switch at the IP address you

configured.
