The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When
installing, consider the following pointers:
Note: Your switch model may be different than the one shown in the example
illustrations.
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place.
Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such
as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an
EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the
next section, Rack Mounting.
When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the
bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub
case from scratching.
Rack Mount Hardware Installation
The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in
a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the switch’s
front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.
Note: The switch model may be different than the one shown in the example
illustrations.
Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.
Note: All other functions of this page will be explained in detail in its respective section.
8. Configure the switch IP address settings to be within your network subnet, then click
Apply under the IP Settings.
9. When the confirmation message appears click OK.
Be sure to re-log back into the switch using the new IP address and save the
configuration to your flash.
NOTE: The configured settings are only applied to the switch’s temporary memory and
will be lost upon the next power-cycle. Please follow these next steps to save the
configurations to the switch’s NV-RAM to ensure the settings will remain throughout
power-cycles and reboots:
1. At the bottom of the left hand panel, click Save.
2. Select the Config you would like to save the settings to, click Save Settings to Flash,
then click OK.
Note: This step saves all configuration changes to the NV-RAM to ensure that if the
switch is rebooted or power cycled, the configuration changes will still be applied.
You can connect computers or other network devices to your switch using Ethernet cables to connect them to one of the available Gigabit Ethernet Ports or SFP Ports. Check the status of
the LED indicators on the front panel of your switch to ensure the physical cable connection from your computer or device. You can use either the Gigabit Ethernet ports or SFP
connections as network uplinks. (SFP modules sold separately)
Note: If you encounter issues connecting to your network, there may be a problem with your computer or device network settings. Please ensure that your computer or device network
settings (also called TCP/IP settings) are configured properly within the network subnet your switch is connected.
Note: Your switch model may be different than the one shown in the example illustrations.
Note: Your switch default management IP address http://192.168.10.200 is accessed
through the use of your Internet web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer®, Firefox®,
Chrome™, Safari®, Opera™) and will be referenced frequently in this User’s Guide. Throughout this user’s guide, the term Web Configuration will be used to reference
access from web management page.

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a new IP protocol designed to replace IP version 4
(IPv4). The IPv6 address protocol meets the current requirements of new applications
and the never ending growth of the Internet. The IPv6 address space makes more
addresses available but it must be approached with careful planning. Successful
deployment of IPv6 can be achieved with existing IPv4 infrastructures. With proper
planning and design, the transition between IP version 4 and 6 is possible today as well.
Use the IPv6 Interface page to configure the IPv6 network interface, which is the logical
interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch via all of the switch's front-panel
ports. The configuration parameters associated with the switch's network interface do
not affect the configuration of the front-panel ports through which traffic is switched or
routed.

Address.
Rapid Commit: You can configure the switch to support the DHCPv6 Rapid
Commit option (DHCPv6 option 14). The server and client then use a twomessage exchange (Solicit and Reply) to configure clients, rather than the
default four-message exchange (Solicit, Advertise, Request, and Reply). The
two-message exchange provides faster client configuration, and is beneficial in
environments in which networks are under a heavy load.
IPv6 Address: Enter the full IPv6 address you would like to specify for this
NS Retransmit Time: A constant that defines a nonzero number of seconds
between periodic reauthentication of the client. The field is 1~3600 seconds.
