The 24 Port Stackable Managed Switch supports the following management methods:
• Console and Telnet Management
• Web-based Management
• SNMP Network Management

Console and Telnet Management

Console Management is performed through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the 24 Stackable Managed Switch using this method requires a direct connection between a PC and the 24 Port Stackable Managed Switch. Telnet allows remote management of the Switch across the network. Once the 24 Port Stackable Managed Switch is on the network with an assigned IP address, it is possible to use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.

Web Based Management

The Switch can be managed using a standard web browser that supports Java applets. This interface has the same functionality as the console/Telnet interfaces but is more user-friendly. See page 42 for details.

SNMP Network Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and control the Switch. Agents, which reside in the Switch, respond to requests from the NMS (Network Management Station). The agent returns information contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the Switch and what can be controlled.
24 Port Stackable Managed Switch – User Guide Page 6

Installation

Pre-Installation Requirements Before starting the hardware installation, make sure the installation environment has the below items:
• PC with 10/100Mbps RJ-45 Network Interface Card to connect the Switch’s copper port.
• UTP/STP cable with RJ45 connectors. Ensure that the cable has been tested
• AC Power: 100 to 240V AC at 50/60 Hz: Make sure that the power is accessible
and the AC power can be connected easily.
• Dedicated power supply: Use a dedicated AC supply to power the Switch.
• A dry cool place: Keep the Switch away from moisture. Avoid direct sunlight,
sources of heat, and a high amount of electromagnetic interference.
• Mounting tools: If you intend to mount the Switch in a rack, make sure you have all the tools, mounting brackets, screws etc
Caution:
Cabling must be away from sources of electrical noise such as radio, computers, transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines etc.

Mounting the Switch

The 24 Port Stackable Managed Switch is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be rack-mounted in standard EIA 19-inch racks or Desktop.

Desktop Mounting

Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby, and near the center of all networked devices. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and dust free. Remove adhesive backing from the Rubber Feet.
Figure 5. Attach Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch
Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner, on the bottom, of the Switch. These footpads can prevent the Switch from shock/vibrations.
Caution: Do not place objects on top of the Switch
24 Port Stackable Managed Switch – User Guide Page 9

Rack-mounted Installation

The 24 Port Stackable Managed Switch is supplied with a rack-mounted kit and can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack. The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment.
Perform the following steps to ra ck mount the Switch: Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the Switch and secure it with the
smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the Switch.
Figure 6. Attach mounting brackets with screws
After attaching both mounting brackets, position the Switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the Switch to the rack with the rack-mounting screws.
Figure 7. Mount the Switch in an EIA standard 19-inch Rack
NOTE: For ventilation allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on the front and
3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the Switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installation.
24 Port Stackable Managed Switch – User Guide Page 10

Connecting to the Switch

The Console port is a male DB-9 connector located on the front panel of the Switch that enables a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuration. Use the supplied RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or PC to the Console port.
Figure 8. Connecting the 24 Port Stackable Managed Switch to a terminal via
RS-232 cable

Quick Start Guide

If you do not need to apply VLANS, Quality of Service, Stacking functionality, adjust any settings or manage the Switch via the network, then the Switch can be used “straight-from­the-box” to carry network traffic. In that case, no further action is needed. If you want to use the management settings or controls, then a little work is needed to configure the Switch.
1. After the installation is complete and AC power is applied, the Switch loads its operating code from memory and performs a full power-on self test that takes about 30 seconds to complete.
2. Configure the PC terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal, to allow it to communicate with the Switch via the supplied serial cable connected to the front panel Console port. See page11 for details
3. After configuring the emulation program press <enter> and input root in lower case letters for both the User Name and Password. The main menu screen will be displayed. Use either <tab> or cursor keys to navigate up and down the menu. Select the item using the <enter> key. The <esc> key will return to the previous menu level.
4. If the Switch is to be managed over the network using Telnet, SNMP or the web browser, then an IP address needs to be assigned to the Switch. See page 18 for details.
5. Once an IP address has been assigned to the Switch, it should be possible to PING the Switch over the network. This will prove that the Switch is present and responding correctly to network requests.
6. Now that the Switch can be accessed over the network, use a web browser application to open up the configuration screens. Enter the Switch’s IP address into the web browser URL field and use the same user name and password set as in 3 above.
7. Using the preferred method (console, Telnet or web browser), configure the Switch to meet the requirements. Always save the configuration at the end of each action.
8. If you need to revert the Switch back to the factory default configuration, then see page 41.
24 Port Stackable Managed Switch – User Guide Page 11

Management Using The Console

Configuring the Console Interface

When the connection between Switch and PC is complete, turn on the PC and run a terminal emulation program such as 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 Control flow: None
Figure 9. Communication
parameters settings
Figure 10. Initial login screen
After setting the communication parameters, click “OK“ on the PC. Press <enter> and when the screen displays the initial login screen as above, enter root in lower case letters for both the User Name and Password. The Main Menu Screen of console management appears.
NOTE: If an IP address has been assigned to the Switch then it also possible to manage the Switch remotely using Telnet. The management menu structure is exactly the same as from console.
