The line of switches from WAGO ensure the scalability of your network
infrastructure with outstanding electrical and mechanical characteristics. These
robust devices are designed for industrial use and they are fully compliant with
IEEE802.3, 802.3u.
They have function monitoring and redundant voltage supply with a supply
voltage range of 9 … 48 V. Alarm functions are enabled via DIP switch.
Characteristics such as auto negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX (crossover) on all
10/100 BaseTX ports are also realized, as is a store-and-forward switching mode.
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the
development of switching technology. A switch bridge Ethernet packets at the
MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity
available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and
decreases network loading by dividing a local area network into different
segments, which don’t compete with each other for network transmission
capacity.
The Industrial Switch was designed for easy installation in an industrial
environment where vibration, shock, heat, and RF interference may be
commonplace.
The Industrial Switch, with its small, compact size, was specifically designed for
easy DIN rail mounting and can be installed where space is limited.
The Industrial Switch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for
shared bandwidth 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth
200 Mbps (100 Mbps full duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a
congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
The Industrial Switch is expandable by cascading two or more switches together
in a ‘daisy-chain’ fashion. As all ports support 200 Mbps, the Industrial Switch
can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches.
The Industrial Switch combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and
forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port,
while controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to
guarantee against all possible packet loss.
The Industrial Managed Switch was developed with both “Xpress Ring” and “Jet
Ring” features. The Jet ring offers recovery time of less than 300 ms in case of
any network-link failure – and the Xpress Ring can recover from such a failure
within 50 ms. This makes the Industrial Managed Switch particularly suited for
industrial applications that demand the utmost reliability. The device comes with
7 copper and 2 fiber ports that provide 10/100 Base fiber-to-copper conversion.
With its industrial design, the Industrial Managed Switch ensures "always-on"
connectivity, eliminating costly network downtime.
Being SNMP-ready, the Industrial Managed Switch enables network managers to
remotely monitor the entire network’s status quickly and easily via an RJ-45 or a
console port connection. This Industrial Managed Switch can extend an
enterprise’s industrial Ethernet configuration range up to 30 km, while
simultaneously minimizing troubleshooting time. The Industrial Managed Switch
is designed with 'plug-n-play' features for hassle-free integration into today's
managed mixed-cabling network configurations.
Featuring Auto MDI/MDI-X detection for direct connection to a workstation,
switch or hub, network managers no longer need to worry about the cable
configuration (cross-over or straight through) when establishing connections
between RJ-45 ports.
The Industrial Managed Switch has auto-negotiation capabilities that allow it to
support connection with leading NWay switches. In full-duplex mode, this unit
can sustain distances of up to 2 km (for multi-mode fiber) and 30 km (for longhaul single-mode fiber) between it and a LAN switch or another switch or
data/file server.
The Industrial Managed Switch features both RJ-45 jacks and slots for LC (SFPtype) fiber-optic connectors that allow it to connect a 10/100Base-TX network to
a 100Base-FX (fiber-based) network.
This Industrial Managed Switch utilizes ports with fiber or copper port connectors
functioning under Ethernet and/or Fast Ethernet protocols.
3.1.1 10/100BASE-TX Ports
The 10/100BASE-TX ports support network speeds of either 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps, and can operate in half- and full-duplex transfer modes. The ports also
offer automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection that gives true “plug and play”
capability – just plug the network cables into the ports and the ports will adjust
according to the end-node devices. The following are the recommended cables for
the RJ-45 connectors:
• 10M – Cat 3 or better / 100M – Cat 5 or better
3.1.2 100BASE-FX Ports
The 100BASE-FX ports add fiber-based Fast Ethernet links to your network
device. Complying with IEEE 802.3u, these ports can transmit data at 100 Mbps
in full-duplex mode across distances of up to 2 km over multi-mode and up to
30 km over single-mode fiber-optic cable. The fiber ports have LC-type
connectors.
3.1.3 RS-232 (RJ-45)
When connecting your Switch's console port to your COM port, use the provided
console cable. For further information see in chapter “RJ-45 Cables “.
This Industrial Managed Switch is equipped with Unit LEDs to enable you to
quickly determine the status of the Switch, as well as Port LEDs to see what is
happening across your connection.

5 Activate the Industrial Switch.
Warning of damage to equipment by electrostatic discharge
DC Powered Switch: Power is supplied through an external DC power source.
Check the technical specification section for information about the DC power
input voltage. Since the switch does not include a power switch, plugging its
power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on.
The location selected to install the Industrial Switch may greatly affect its
performance. When selecting a site, we recommend considering the following
rules:
• Install the Industrial Switch at an appropriate place. See in chapter
“Technical Data” for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating
ranges.
• Fix the provided brackets at the back of the Industrial Switch to a DIN rail
to protect the switch from falling.
Warning of physical Injury due to electric current
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port
when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into
open apertures.
The aluminum DIN Rail attachment plate should already be affixed to the back
panel of the Industrial Switch. If you need to attach the DIN Rail plate, assure that
the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top. Attaching the Industrial Switch to
the DIN rail is easy, just align, and attach the top rail, then press down and snap
forward the Industrial Switch to snap in the bottom rail, as shown in the figures
below.
• Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation
around the Industrial Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Industrial
Switch.
• The carrier rail must optimally support the EMC measures integrated into
the system and the shielding of the internal data bus connections.
Important note
Grounding Industrial Switch will help eliminate the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Always run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting DC power.

The Industrial Switch uses a DC power supply of 9 … 48 V DC.
The primary and redundant power connection is provided via a terminal block
located at the top of the Industrial Switch.
The terminal block is composed of six contact pins and can be inserted and
removed easily by hand to connect to the six pin terminal block receptor (male
contacts located on the body of the Switch).
The Switch’s power supply automatically self adjusts to the local power source
and may be powered on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.
1 Check the front panel LEDs as the device is powered on to verify that the
Power LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly and securely
plugged in.
2 If a redundant power supply is connected, an RPS LED will be illuminated.
3 „PWR +/-„ conductors:
To connect or disconnect the conductors, actuate the spring directly in the
female connector using a screwdriver or an operating tool and insert or
remove the conductor.
4 For the back up DC connection, follow the same procedure as above. Attach
power wires to the terminal block (in the position marked RPS +/-).
5 If the terminal block is not already inserted into the block receptor of the
The Industrial Switch has one alarm contact connection point located on the grey
terminal block on the top panel. For detailed instructions on how to connect the
alarm contact power wires to the two ALM contacts of the 6 contact terminal
block connector, see the procedure for connecting DC Power in the section above
(it is the same procedure).
You can connect the alarm circuit to any warning device which the user´s factory
or industry already has installed in the control room or factory floor. When a fault
occurs, the Industrial Switch will send a signal through the alarm contact, to
activate this external alarm. The alarm contact has two terminals that form a fault
circuit for connecting to alarm system.
An alarm will be signaled in the following situations:
1 Port link failure (e.g.: cable disconnected, device breakdown, etc.)
When connecting fiber cable to a 100BASE-FX port on the Industrial Managed
Switch, be sure the correct type (LC) of connector and SFP module is used.
Various types of multi mode, single mode, or WDM SFP modules are sold
separately. Follow the steps below to properly connect the fiber cabling:
Please note
Remove and keep the fiber port’s (LC) rubber covers. When not connected to a
fiber cable, the rubber cover should be in place to protect the fiber optics.
1 Plug in the appropriate SFP modules.
2 Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by
wiping gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little
ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber cables will impair the quality of the
light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the
port.
3 Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the Industrial Managed
Switch and the other end to the fiber port of the other device.
Please note
When inserting the cable, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure
that it is properly connected.
4 Check the corresponding port LED on the Industrial Managed Switch to be
sure that the connection is valid. (Refer to the LED chart)

7.1 Jet Ring – for Communication Reliability
Setting up Jet Ring (redundant linking) on your network helps to protect critical
links against failure and network loops; and it reduces network downtime to less
than 300 ms.
The Jet Ring function allows users to set up a redundant path in the network to
provide a backup data-transmission route in the event that a connection is abruptly
disconnected or damaged. This is an extremely important feature in industrial
applications because a link failure in a link with no backup can cause several
minutes of network downtime and thus cause heavy losses.
7.2 How Jet Ring Recovers in less than 300 ms
The Jet Ring protocol is designed to optimize redundant communication linking
and deliver a very fast link-recovery period. The Jet Ring automatically identifies
one switch as the “master” of the network, and then automatically blocks ports to
prevent packets from traveling through any of the network’s redundant loop
segments. If one segment of this ring becomes disconnected from the rest of the
network because of a link failure, the Jet Ring protocol automatically re-adjusts
the ring so that the part of the network that was disconnected, re-establishes
contact with the rest of the network.
The user does not need to designate the master switch to use Jet Ring, this is done
automatically.
The Jet Ring ensures smooth operation of industrial automation devices in many
critical applications. It will put your automation system back to full operability in
less than 300 ms if any node of your network goes down.
You can apply the ring in the diagram below by connecting 4 units of Industrial
Managed Switches.
Figure 10: JetRing
Step 2
Jet Ring then automatically selects the Arbiter switch and the network is ready.
Pos: 23.3 /Serie 852 (Ethernet-Zubehör)/Erweiter te Funktionen/Xpress Ring @ 3\mod_1222694244562_21.doc @ 22359 @ 2 @ 1
7.3 Xpress Ring
Xpress Ring is a ring protocol that enables networks to recover from link failure
within 50 ms. Unlike Jet Ring, it needs some network configuration efforts: The
user must assign two ring ports for each Switch in the ring. The user must also
assign the Arbiter Switch, which will decide if it is necessary to activate the
backup path. For Xpress Ring, any switch can be the arbiter – just remember that
the arbiter switch must be part of the ring.
Apart from rerouting the transmission within 50 ms, the Arbiter Switch will also
issue an alarm when a link failure occurs. The user will then be informed of the
failure and will be able to fix the problem and reconfigure if required.
Xpress Ring is the faster ring recovery technology and is ideal for networks where
the ring topology is not changed very often.
Please refer to the following chapter for the configuration of the Xpress Ring.
Pos: 23.5 /Serie 852 (Ethernet-Zubehör)/Erweiter te Funktionen/Coupling Ring @ 3\mod_1222693879031_21.doc @ 22347 @ 2 @ 1
7.4 Coupling Ring
The Coupling Ring function connects two Xpress Rings via redundant links
(Primary Link & Secondary Link). Please refer to the following illustration. When
the primary link (port 2 at the Master Switch of coupling role) fails, the secondary
link (port 2 at the Arbiter Switch of coupling role) will automatically kick in
within milliseconds. The Secondary Link is blocked during normal operations,
and it is enabled automatically when the Primary Link is disconnected. The
Secondary Link is blocked again automatically when the Primary Link recovers.
Control Line of Coupling Ring (port 1 at the Master Switch of coupling role/port
1 at the Arbiter Switch of coupling role) is used for negotiation between Master
and Arbiter Switches of coupling role and to decide when the secondary link
should be enabled or blocked. It is needed to set coupling roles as “Master”,
“Arbiter”, or “Normal” (all other Switches not Master neither Arbiter) to Switches
in the Xpress Ring, and assign coupling’s ring and control ports to the Master and
Arbiter Switches, to one side only of two interconnected rings.
Coupling Ring is designed based on Xpress Ring. For configuring the Coupling
Ring feature, please consult the appropriate chapter in this manual.
For advanced management capabilities, the onboard management agent provides
CLI and menu driven interface configuration programs. These programs can be
accessed by a direct or modem connection to the console port on the front panel
(local), or by a Telnet connection over the network.
The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any PC in the
network by using management software.
The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web
agent can be accessed using a standard Web browser from any computer attached
to the network.
The Industrial Managed Switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it
by using any or all of the methods described. The administration console and web
browser interfaces are embedded in the switch software and can be used
immediately after setup.
• Communicates with switch functions at the MIB level
• Based on open standards
The three methods for configuring the Industrial Managed Switch management
agent are explained in this chapter.
The first method – Command Line Interface (CLI) via the Console Port to initially
set IP parameters – is explained in part A.
The second is Menu Driven configurations via Telnet – explained in part B.
Part C explains the use of an Internet Browser Interface to configure the Industrial
Managed Switch.
Part D provides some basic operational examples for using CLI via Telnet.
Complete part A and then proceed to either part B, C or D.
Prior to accessing the Industrial Managed Switch’s onboard agent via a network
connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway using a local connection or the BOOTP protocol.
After configuring the Industrial Managed Switch’s IP parameters, you can access
the onboard configuration program from anywhere within the attached network or
via Internet. The onboard configuration program can be accessed using Telnet
from any computer attached to the network. It can also be managed from any
computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape
Navigator 4.0 or above).
Access the Industrial Managed Switch via a terminal emulator (such as Hyper
Terminal) attached to the console port. The console port is set at the factory with
the following default COM port properties. Configure your own terminal to match
the following:
Baud rate 38,400
Data size 8 bits
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow Control None
Please note
Ensure that the terminal or PC you are using to make this connection is
configured to match the above settings. Otherwise the connection will not work.
A console port cable is provided with the Industrial Managed Switch to connect
the PC’s COM port with the Industrial Managed Switch’s serial console (RJ-45)
port. Please see in chapter “RJ-45 Cables “ in assignment details.
Prior to following the instructions listed below for HyperTerminal, verify that a
console cable (RJ-45 to DB9) connection between the Industrial Managed Switch
and workstation exists. Then follow the steps below:
1 Launch the terminal emulation program on the remote workstation and
power on the Industrial Managed Switch. Be sure to select the correct COM
port.

The Bridge Menu is used to Enable/Disable STP (Spanning Tree Protocol
Algorithm), JET Ring or Xpress Ring, as well as to configure the STP settings if
STP is enabled.
If Jet Ring is enabled it offers a fast recovery time of less than 300 ms in case a
node goes down in the ring. Xpress Ring offers a very fast recovery time of less
than 50 ms.
The Spanning Tree Algorithm is used for detecting and disabling network loops,
and to provide backup links between switches, bridges and routers. This allows
the switch to communicate and interact with other bridging devices (i.e. STPcompliant devices) in a network to ensure that only one route exists between any
two stations, and provide redundant or backup links that automatically take over
when a primary link fails.

Table 13: STP System Configuration
Parameter Description
Bridge Priority
Set the bridge priority. The limit is given between 0 (the
highest priority) and 65535 (the lowest priority).
Bridge priority is used in selecting the root device, root
port, and designated port. The device with the highest
priority becomes the STP root device. However, if all
devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest
MAC address will then become the root device.
Hello Time
Time interval (in seconds) at which the root device
transmits a configuration message.
The limit given is from 1 … 10 s.
Forward Delay
Set Forward Delay. The limit given is from 4 … 30 s. This
is the maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait
before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to
forwarding).
Max. Age
Set the (maximum age) waiting time for receiving packets
before attempting to reconfigure the link. The limit given is
from 6 … 40 s.
STP allows the Switch to assign a priority status to each of its ports, with respect
to other networking nodes in the network. In other words, STP determines the best
route for data to flow, given the priority level of each node on the network. Ensure
that this function is activated to avoid collisions and when setting up backup links.

If Jet Ring is enabled, the user can view the Jet Ring status. The Industrial
Managed Switch will automatically detect which port is attached to othe r
Industrial Managed Switches (or other Jet Ring-enabling switches) to establish the
Jet Ring. The user can see how many nodes are connected in the ring and which
node is working as Master, Arbiter or member. There are also descriptions of the
role of each port.
Once Xpress Ring (sometimes called Jet Ring Plus) is enabled, the user can
configure the Xpress Ring. The user can select the role of the switch in the Xpress
Ring (Arbiter or Forward) and select which ports will be part of the Xpress
Ring.
8.3.5 (DCM)/VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks) Menu
Figure 30: VLAN Menu
A VLAN is a network of computers behaving as though they are connected to the
same LAN segment, even though their physical location may be on a different
LAN altogether. VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware,
which make them extremely flexible.
Some of the advantages of VLANs are:
• When a computer is physically moved to another location, it can stay on the
same VLAN without any hardware reconfiguration because VLANs are not
limited by hardware constraints.
• VLANs can be configured to define a network into various logical
configurations. For example, VLANs can define a network by application.
In this scenario, a company might create one VLAN for multimedia users
and another for e-mail users.
• VLANs can also define a network by department. For example, a company
might have one VLAN for its Engineering Department, another for its
Marketing Department, and another for its Sales Dept.
• VLANs can also be set up according to the organization’s internal structure.
For example, the company president might have his/her own VLAN, the
executive staff might have a different VLAN, and the remaining employees
might have yet another VLAN.
As these examples show, VLANs offer unparalleled flexibility. The following
section describes how VLANs can be deployed using the Switch.
Disable VLAN or select Port-based VLAN or Tag based VLAN.
SS13 – Port based VLAN configuration
The following is the menu screen for port based VLAN configuration:
Figure 32: VLAN Configuration
Table 17: VLAN Configuration
Parameter Description
Port ID Members
Set the VLAN association of one port to another. Blank
checks mean no VLAN association. The default is that all
ports are associated. Conversely, all ports can be isolated.
Use the [Tab] key to move from one field to the next and the [Enter] key to
select and unselect. Press [Enter] to exit the field. Select [SAVE] after editing, or
[ESC] to return to the Main Menu system (all unsaved work will return to default
or last saved values).
Tag-based VLAN is the standard implementation of IEEE802.1Q VLAN. With
the Industrial Managed Switch set as a tag-based VLAN switch, every port has the
following:
PVID
Port VLAN ID number, generally referring to the VLAN, which the connected
non-802.1Q-aware device (like a Device Server or Industrial Computer) belongs
to. This PVID can be configured in the menu Port Information.
Priority
Priority of the port and the non-802.1Q packets received on the port – generally
from a non-802.1Q-aware device. (Port Info menu)
Participating VLANs
The VID-tagged packets, which are allowed to flow in or out of the port. A port
may participate in multiple VLANs, like an uplink port connected to another
switch, which will transfer the packets from various devices belonging to different
VLANs into the network. (BUT, generally, a port connected to a peripheral non-
802.1Q device can only participate in 1 VLAN, the same VLAN ID that is
selected for that port in the “Port Info” menu). The participating VLANs can be
configured in the menu Add VLAN Group.
If the port is set in the Add VLAN Group menu as a Tagged Port, all packets
flowing out of the port will be tagged frames to an 802.1Q switch or device.
If the port is set as an Untagged Port, all packets out of the port will be untagged
frames (stripped of their tags at port) to a non-802.1Q device, like an industrial
computer.
When a packet is received (ingress) on the port, it is filtered to be dropped or
forwarded according to the user-specified rule (configured on menu “Port
Information”) for ingress-filtering untagged frames and tagged frames that are not
members of the receiving port’s participating VLANs (configured on menu Add VLAN Group).
If the packet is forwarded, the untagged frames, generally from a non-802.1Qaware peripheral or device, are tagged with the PVID and Priority that were
assigned to the Ingress port.
The untagged packets received by an 802.1Q Switch in this way become tagged
frames. The tagged frames received on the ingress port are kept unchanged if it’s
not dropped.
Next, the Industrial Managed Switch switches the frame into the egress port that is
a participant of that specific VLAN.
For example: If the ingress is from a peripheral device linked to a downlink port
on a switch with only one uplink port and the frame is addressed to a device on
another switch, the frame would be switched to egress out of the uplink port – and
this UPlink port would be set to participate in the VLANs of all the DOWNlink
ports and forward all their traffic.
If the egress port is an “untag” port (normally a port linked to a peripheral, non-
802.1Q device that does not accept tagged frames), the VID and priority fields
will be stripped off (untagged) from the frame and then transmitted out of the
egress port.
A previously tagged frame is simply kept unchanged when it is sent out from a
“tagging” egress port, generally to a 802.1Q switch or a standard VLAN-aware
device.
Set the VLAN ID. The limit given is between 1 and 4095.
The VLAN ID is assigned to all untagged frames received
on this port.
Priority
Set VLAN Priority. The limit given is between 0 … 7.
0 is the lowest priority and 7 is the highest priority.
Ingress Filter 1
(Non-Member) and
Filter 2 (Untagged)
Non-Member (1): Forward
Untagged (2): Forward
• Forward the VLAN-tagged frames which are not
members of any VLAN in which the port is
participating, and forward all untagged frames.
Non-Member (1): Drop
Untagged (2): Forward
• Drop the VLAN-tagged frames which are not
members of any VLAN of which the port is
participating, and forward all untagged frames.
Isolated
Non-Member (1): Drop
Untagged (2): Drop
• Drop the VLAN-tagged frames which are not
members of any VLAN of which the port is
participating, and drop all untagged frames.
Enable
The port is isolated. Isolated ports belonging to
the same VLAN do not communicate with each
other – this is generally set for security reasons.
The isolated ports communicate only with the
trunk ports, which should NOT be set as
“isolated”.
Disable
The port is not isolated and can communicate
with all ports of the VLANs.
SS15 – Tag-based/Adding VLAN groups (port EGRESS behavior)
Type in VLAN ID number and at each port select “No” (not a member of this
specific VLAN – drop packet), “Untagged” (member of VLAN, take tag away so
that computer can read) or “Tagged” (keep tag on packet – only for uplink port).
The menu Show VLAN Table shows all VLANs at a glance and enables the user
to edit these VLANs.

After logging into the system, you can use this menu to configure the settings for
remote access via SNMP agent and to configure the e-mail alarm or to upgrade
the firmware. The user should set the community string that controls access to the
onboard SNMP agent via in-band management software (SNMP Configuration).
The items provided by the Management Setup Menu are described in the
following sections.
SS30 – Management Setup Menu (MSM)
Figure 53: Management Setup Menu
Use the [Tab] key to move from one field to the next and the [Enter] key to
select.
(MSM)/SNMP Configuration Menu
Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify parameters for the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The Switch features an onboard
SNMP agent that monitors the status of its hardware as well as the traffic passing
through its ports. A computer attached to the network, called a Network
Management Station (NMS), can be used to access this information. Community
strings control access rights to the agent module. To communicate with the
switch, the NMS must first submit a valid community string for authentication.
The options for configuring community strings and related trap functions are
described in the following figures and tables.
Use the [Tab] and [Enter] keys as previously. Enter the IP addresses of
computers that will be notified when abnormalities on a connection occur and an
alarm needs to be sent. Enter their community names and disable or enable their
alarm function.

Community
Enter their community names
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the
Switch. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the Switch and the
SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This
management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the GET community
string and the SET community string. If the SNMP Network Management Station
only knows the SET community string, it can read and write to the MIBs.
However, if it only knows the GET community string, it can only read MIBs. The
default GET and SET community string for the Switch is “public”.
The Industrial Managed Switch instantaneously issues e mail warnings to
engineers when an exception occurs. Users can also connect a relay output to the
Switch’s terminal block to enable an acoustic alarm e.g. (please see hardware
configurations for detail).
Figure 55: eMail Alarm Configuration
Use the [Tab] and [Enter] keys as previously. The user must Enable the E-mail
Alarm function and provide the valid IP address of the mail server, which the
Switch will use and a valid e-mail address for the Switch. The user can select up
to five (5) e-mail addresses that error messages will be e mailed to. Provide the
valid address and “Enable” the status. The user must then select which exceptions
will trigger an e-mail alert.

The firmware for the Industrial Managed Switch can also be upgraded via TFTP if
such a file has been prepared. Create a TFTP server and upload into it the new
firmware file that will be downloaded. This feature helps users to keep updating
the firmware with new/enhanced features. For example:

The Industrial Managed Switch will download the file and restart to affect the
new settings.
Cable Test is used to diagnose the physical copper links connected each port, by
separate pairs in a cable. If the link is well connected, the Status column will show
“normal”. If the link is disconnected, the Status column will show “open”, and
the Cable Length column will display the estimated distance from the port to the
location where the circuit is open.
This section gives a step-by-step guide to configuring the Industrial Managed
Switch’s management functions. A series of screen shots (SS#) and instructions
illustrate the main menu structure and how it works.
Firstly, open a web browser and key in the Switch’s IP address – then press
[Enter]. A Web Manager page like this will pop up on your screen:
When your Web browser connects with the Industrial Managed Switch’s Web

The Bridge menu is used for configuring the Jet Ring, Spanning Tree Algorithm
and Xpress Ring settings, as well as the traffic class priority threshold and the
address aging time.
The Jet Ring offers fast recovery time of less than 300 ms in case of link failure
(if Jet Ring is enabled). It has a longer recovery time than Xpress Ring (50 ms),
but it needs almost no set-up configuration.
Xpress Ring offers a very fast link-failure recovery time of 50 ms, but the user
must select the role of the Switch (arbiter or forward) and which two ports will be
part of the Xpress Ring network.
The Spanning Tree Algorithm is used for detecting and disabling network loops,
and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the
switch to communicate and interact with other bridging devices (i.e. STAcompliant devices) in a network to ensure that only one route exists between any

As these examples show, VLANs offer incomparable flexibility. The following
section describes how VLANs can be deployed using the Switch.
SS13 – VLAN Type/(VLAN Configuration)
Figure 74: VLAN Configuration
The menu Vlan Type let users select the VLAN type of the Switch.
The Menu Port-Based VLAN Configuration is for configuration of Port based

the same VLAN do not communicate with each
other – this is generally set for security reasons.
The isolated ports communicate only with the
trunk ports, which should NOT be set as
isolated.
Disable
The port is not isolated and can communicate
with all ports of the VLANs.
The sub-menu Tag-based info let users add, modify, or delete entries in the
Tagging VLAN Table, the configurations of 802.1Q VLANs and the participating
ports. Up to 64 VLANs can be configured on the Switch.
On the left is the Tag-based VLAN Table, where existing VLANs can be
modified or deleted. In the first row is the VLAN ID (VID) numbers (1, 2, etc.) of
the previously configured VLANs. Users can click on a VID number to display
the port information of that VLAN.
The following table describes the port parameters in regard to 802.1Q VLANs:
Table 37: Tag-Based Info Menu
Parameter Description
No
The port is not participating in the VLAN as identified by
the selected VID (VLAN ID).
Untagging
The port is an untagging port (as defined in 802.1Q) that is
participating in the VLAN. In such an untagged port the
Switch will strip off the 802.1Q tag from the incoming and
outgoing frames if they are tagged in such a way. This is
used for sending frames to non-802.1Q-compliant devices.
Tagging
The port is a tagging port (as defined in 802.1Q) and is
participating in the VLAN. The Switch will put the VLAN
information of the port – including VID and Priority – into
the header of the untagged frames coming in or transmitted
from the port. The tagged VLAN information in the frames
can later be used by other 802.1Q-compliant devices for
forwarding decisions.
Click the button [Modify] to modify configurations of the selected VLAN
according to the settings on the table.
Click the button [Delete] to delete the VLAN entries of the selected VID.
On the left is the Add Vlan Configuration” work area where you can add VLAN
configuration entries onto the Tagging VLAN Table. Enter a valid configurable
802.1Q VID ranging from 1 … 4094 into the field on the first row. Next, specify
for each port the parameters described in the table above – this will decide if the
specific port will participate in that specific VID and how it will participate. Click
the button [Save] to add the new VLAN to the Tagging VLAN Table.
SS17 - Packet Configuration
Use this screen to set the Jumbo packet limit and the Rate Control for each port of
the Switch.

Click on each parameter field to modify the desired setting, then click on [Save]
to retain newly entered information or click on [Undo] to restore previously saved
configurations.
Select the size of packets:
1536 – For double-tagged packets or jumbo packets
1522 – For normally tagged packet. 1518 bytes are actually
allowed for untagged packets.
Port Ingress Limit
Select to block the specified traffic from the port.
Mode
Multicast Rate
Limit
• All Frames: – Restrict all kinds of packets (Default)
exceeding the rate set in the Ingress/Egress Rate
fields
• Multicast/Broadcast & Flooded unicast: – Restrict
these packets when exceeding the set value
• Multicast/Broadcast only: – Restrict these packets
when exceeding the assigned value
Ingress / Egress
Rate
• Broadcast only: – Restrict broadcast only packets
when exceeding the assigned limit
Set the threshold of traffic of limited packets for each port
in the Switch.
Set the port mirroring option to monitor data being transmitted through a specific
port.

Monitored Port
Select the port which will do the monitoring.
Select the port that needs to be monitored.
Port Trunking defines a network link aggregation and trunking method which
specifies how to create a single high-speed logical link that combines several lowspeed physical links.Use the Trunk Configuration page shown below to create
trunk groups. The Switch supports a maximum of four trunk groups. Each trunk
group may be comprised of up to four ports, selected from any combination of
ports 1 … 8.
The IGMP menu is used for configuring IGMP snooping. IGMP means "Internet
Group Management Protocol". It is a protocol through which hosts can register
with their local router for multicast services. If there is more than one multicast
router on a given sub-network, one of the routers is elected and assumes the
responsibility of keeping track of group membership.
SS20 – IGMP Configuration
This menu allows the user to Enable/Disable IGMP Snooping and IGMP Query.
Please note
In order to keep the switch traffic efficient, the last byte of the IP address should
not be the same as in the IGMP group. E.g. if the Switch’s IP address is
192.168.0.10 and the IGMP router/switch’s IP address is 192.168.21.10, this will
make the switch less efficient.
Figure 81: IGMP Configuration
SS21 – IGMP Group Status
This window will display the IGMP group status of the port members if IGMP
traffic is present.
The menu MAC Limit Configuration let the user limit the number of incoming
MAC addresses per port. If the user wants to disable this function, select
[Disable] from the combo box Mac Limit Function on the upper left. The Limit
Quantity range is 1 … 20 per port. The MAC addresses learned are recorded on a
per-port basis. Only the frames with such recorded MAC addresses will be
forwarded. This learning process will be conducted every 3 minutes. So, if users
change the NIC of the PC or IP appliance, the new MAC address will be learned
in 3 minutes by the Switch, with the set quantity limitations. The MAC Limit Function can be disabled or enabled per port, under the parameter labeled Action
in the table. Generally this function is only enabled for downlink ports.
QoS (Quality of Service) refers to the mechanisms in the Switch’s network
software that make the actual determinations of which packets have priority. The
Switch supports advanced QoS features like scheduling, classification and
policing.
SS26 – QoS Base Configuration
This window offers user to perform the basic configuration for Quality of Service.
Schedule Mode: weighted fair queuing/all high before low
Figure 87: QoS Base Configuration
Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) is a packet scheduling technique allowing
guaranteed bandwidth services. The purpose of WFQ is to let several sessions
share the same link.
Once you adjusted the basic settings, use the button [Save] to implement these
changes.
The user can define up to eight different priority values for the Tagged VLAN
frames. Select the priority queue number for the Switch to map the MAC frames
into different priority queues: i.e. High, Medium, Normal or Low. Use [Save] to
apply the settings.
Here the user can see the serial port configuration that can be utilized while
accessing the switch via Console port.

Community Names
Community Name public - for reference only.
Community Name private - a group that can be renamed,
e.g. individuals that have access to this management
program.
Modify the Community names.
Please note
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the
switch. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the
SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This
management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the GET community
string and the SET community string. If the SNMP Network Management Station
only knows the SET community string, it can read and write to the MIBs
(Management Information Bases of the devices), but, if it only knows the GET
community string, it can only read the MIBs.
The default GET and SET community strings for the switch is public.
