Management Methods

The 8 Port SNMP Managed Switch supports following mana gement methods:

• Console and Telnet Management

• Web-based Management

• SNMP Network Management

Console and Telnet Management

Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the 24 Port SNMP
Managed Switch in this method requires a direct connection between PC and the 8 Port SNMP
Managed Switch. While Telnet management is done over the network. Once the 8 Port SNMP
Managed Switch is on the network, you can use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.
The automatic log-out times is currently set at less than 1 minute, however this duration will be
extended in the next software release.

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 38 for details.

SNMP Network Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and control a
network device, and to manage configurations, statistic collection, performance and security.
Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hard ware & software proce sses reporting activity
in each network device to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The agent
returns information contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data
structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled.

Y our PC must have a standard Ethernet RJ-4 5 interface to connect to the Switches copper port.

 UTP cable with RJ45 connectors: Ensure that you use a tested cable.
 AC Power: 100 to 240V A C at 50/60 Hz: Make sur e that the power is accessible and the AC

power cable can be and disconnected and connected easily.
 Dedicated power supply: Use dedicated AC or power conditioners to supply reliable
electrical power to the network devices.
 A dry cool place: Keep the Switch away from moisture. A void 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.
Airflow around the Switch and through its vents on the rear must not be re stricted.

Mounting the Switch

The 8 Port SNMP Managed Switch is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be
rack-mounted in standard EIA 19-inch racks or standal one. Ensure that you order the mounting
brackets if you intend to rackmount the switch.

Quick Start Guide

If you do not need to apply VLANs, Quality of Service, adjust any settings or manage the switch
via the network, then the switch can be used “straight-from-the-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 completed and AC power is applied to the switch, the unit will
automatically perform a diagnostic test. The switch loads its operating code from memory
and performs a full power-on self test. The screen will display the self-test progress, but do
not press any keys at this stage. This power-up sequence takes approx. 90 seconds to
complete. The web interface will take a further 30 seconds to become operational.

2. Configure you 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. Set the emulation program for 9600, 8, No Parity , No Flow Control. See page
12 for details

3. When the password and user name prompt is displayed, use the default userna me of root
in lower case letters. Use the password root. The main menu screen will be displayed. Use
either cursor keys or the tab key to navigate up and down the menu. Select the item using
the <CR> key. The <ESC> key will return you to the previous menu level.

4. If the switch is to be managed over the LAN using the Telnet, SNMP or the web browser
functions, then an IP address is to be assigned to the switch. See page 20 for details. If the
switch is not being managed over the LAN, then go to page 12 below.

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 browser application to open
up the configuration screens. Enter the switch IP addre ss into the browser Ad dress window
and use the same user name and password set as in 3 above.

7. Using the preferred method (console, Telnet or web brow ser), configure the swi tch to meet
your network 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 p ag e 37.
