Desktop Installation
Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The
surface where the switch locates should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy. Make
sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow attachment of cables,
power cord and allow air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Pads
A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the switch is grease and dust
free.
B. Remove adhesive backing from the Rubber Pads.
C. Apply the Rubber Pad to each corner on the bottom of the switch. These
footpads can prevent the switch from shock/vibration.
Power On
Connect the power adaptor to the power jag on the rear panel of the switch. The
10
Page 13
other side of power adaptor connects to the power outlet. The external power supply
in the switch works with the AC power from 100 to 240V. Please check with the
power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.

Network Application
This section provides user a few samples of network topology in which the switch is
used. In general, the 8 10/100/1000Base-T with 1 1000Base-X SFP/RJ45 Combo
port Web Managed Switch is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its
address table (8k MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for
interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting
with 8 10/100/1000Base-T with 1 1000Base-X SFP/RJ45 Combo port Web
Managed Switch. The switch automatically learns nodes address, which are
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
By using Uplink port, the switch can connect with another switch or hub to
interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.
Meanwhile, you can also use fiber ports to connect switches. The distance between
two switches via fiber cable depends on the type of fiber transceiver.
Small Workgroup
The 8 10/100/1000Base-T with 1 1000Base-X SFP/RJ45 Combo port Web
Managed Switch can be used as a standalone switch to which personal computers,
server, printer server, are directly connect to form small workgroup.

Page 15
Segment Bridge
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, this
switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate
backbone.
Use two 8 10/100/1000Base-T with 1 1000Base-X SFP/RJ45 Combo port Web
Managed Switch with PCs, print server, and local server attached, are both
connecting to the core switch. All the devices in this network can communicate with
each other through the core switch. Connecting servers to the 8 10/100/1000Base-T
with 1 1000Base-X SFP/RJ45 Combo port Web Managed Switch allows other users
to access the data on server. By using fiber ports to connect switches, the distance
between two switches depends on the type of fiber transceiver.

Web-Based Management
This section introduces the function configuration of the 8 10/100/1000Base-T with
1 1000Base-X SFP/RJ45 Combo port Web Managed Switch.
About Web-based Management
On the CPU board of the switch there is an embedded HTML web site residing in
flash memory, which offers advanced management features and allow users to
manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 5.0. And, it is applied with
Java Applets for reducing network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed
and present an easy viewing screen.

VLAN Setting
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain,
which would allows user to isolate network traffic so only the members of VLAN will
receive traffic from the same members of VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a
switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another
Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the same
switch physically.

Port Trunk
Port trunk allows multiple links to be bundled together and act as a single physical link
for increased throughput. It provides load balancing, and redundancy of links in a
switched inter-network. Actually, the link does not have an inherent total bandwidth
equal to the sum of its component physical links. Traffic in a trunk is distributed across
an individual link within the trunk in a deterministic method that called a hash algorithm.
Traffic pattern on the network should be considered carefully before you apply it. When
a proper hash algorithm is used, traffic is kind of randomly decided to be transmitted
across either link within the trunk and load balancing will be seen.

LACP Setting
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for
exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link
Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link
Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation
Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner.
Link aggregation lets user group up to eight consecutive ports into a single
dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the
network.
LACP operation requires full-duplex mode,
refers to IEEE 802.3ad.

The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree
Protocol and provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change.
The system also supports STP and the system will auto detect the connected
device that is running STP or RSTP protocol.
RSTP System Configuration
System Priority:

Troubleshooting
This section is intended to help user solve the most common problems on the 8
10/100/1000Base-T with 1 1000Base-X SFP/RJ45 Combo port Web Managed
Switch with.
Incorrect connections
The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when link switch with
other Ethernet device. For the RJ-45 connector should use correct UTP or STP
cable, 10/100Mbps port use 2 pairs twisted cable and Gigabit 1000T port use 4
pairs twisted cable. If the RJ-45 connector is not correct pin on right position then
the link will fail. For fiber connection, please notice that fiber cable mode and fiber
module should be match.
Faulty or loose cables
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure
the connections are snug. IF that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.
Non-standard cables
Non-standard and miss-wired cables may cause numerous network collisions and
other network problem, and can seriously impair network performance. A
category-5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-T network
installation.
RJ-45 ports:
for RJ-45 connections: 100
use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair ( STP ) cable
Ω
Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or
35
Page 38
100Ω Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of
any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Gigabit port
should use Cat-5 or cat-5e cable for 1000Mbps connections. The length does not
exceed 100 meters.
Improper Network Topologies
It is important to make sure that have a valid network topology. Common topology
faults include excessive cable length and too many repeaters (hubs) between end
nodes. In addition, user should make sure that the network topology contains no
data path loops. Between any two ends nodes, there should be only one active
cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will
severely impact the network performance.
Diagnosing LED Indicators
The switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying
problems, which describes common problems may encounter and where can find
possible solutions.
If the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, it may have a
problem with power outlet, or power cord. However, if the switch powers off after
running for a while check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at
power outlet. If the problem still cannot be solved, contact the local dealer for
assistance.
