Chapter 2 Getting Started
This chapter explains how to access your Industrial Ethernet Switch for the first time. There are
three ways to access the switch: serial console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console
connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the switch to a PC’s COM
port, can be used if you do not know the switch’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser
connection methods can be used to access Industrial Ethernet Switches over an Ethernet LAN, or
over the Internet.
The following topics are covered:

Configuration Using a Telnet Console
You may use Telnet to access the IE-SW-VL08M’s console utility over a network. To be able to
access the IE-SW-VL08M-’s functions over the network (us i ng Telnet or a Web Browser) from a
PC host that is connected to the same LAN as the IE-SW-VL08M, you need to m ake sure that the PC
host and the IE-SW-VL08M are on the same logical sub network. To do this, check your PC host’s
IP address and netmask. By default, the IE-SW-VL08M’s IP address is 192.168.1.110 and the
netmask is 255.255.255.0 (for a Class C network). If you do not change these values, and your PC
host’s netmask is 255.255.255 .0, then its IP add ress must have the form 192.16 8.1.xxx. On t he other
hand, if your PC host’s netmask is 255.255.255.0, then its IP address must have the form
192.168.1.xxx.
NOTE
To use the IE-SW-VL08M’s management and monitoring functions from a PC host connected to
the same LAN as the IE-SW-VL08M’, you must make sure that the PC host and the
IE-SW-VL08M’s are on the same logical sub network.
The IE-SW-VL08M’s default IP address is 192.168.1.110.
Perform the following steps to access the console utility via Telnet.
1. Telnet to the IE-SW-VL08M’s IP address from the Windows Run window (or from the command
prompt).
NOTE
Before accessing the console utility via Telnet, first connect one of the IE-SW-VL08M’s RJ45
Ethernet ports to your Ethernet LAN, or connect directly to your PC’s Ethernet NIC. You can
establish a connection with either a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable. If you have
difficulty connecting, refer to the Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection section from the Hardware
installation Guide for more information about the different types of Ethernet cables and ports.

Chapter 3 Featured Functions
This chapter explains how to access a Weidmueller Ethernet switch’s various configuration,
monitoring, and administration functions. There are three ways to access these functions: serial
console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires
using a short serial cable to connect the switch to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know
the IE-SW’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection methods can be used to
access the IE-SW over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.
The Web Console is the most user-friendly way to configure your Ethernet Switch. In this chapter,
we use the Web Console interface to introduce the device functions. There are only a few differences
between the Web Console, Serial Console, and Telnet Console access methods.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Time
The Time configuration page lets users set the time, date, and other settings. An explanation of each
setting is given below the figure.
The switch has a time calibration function based on information from an NTP server or user
specified Time and Date information. Functions such as Auto warning Email can add real-time
information to the message.
NOTE
The IE-SW-VL08M does not have a real time clock. The user must update the Current Time and
Current Date to set the initial time for the device after each reboot, especially when the network
does not have an Internet connection for NTP server or there is no NTP server on the LAN.

Turbo Ring DIP Switch
The Turbo Ring DIP Switch page allows users to disable the four DIP switches located on the
switch’s outer casing. When enabled, the DIP switches can be used to configure basic settings for
either the “Turbo Ring” protocol or “Turbo Ring V2” protocol. A complete description of the
settings is given below.
NOTE
The “Turbo Ring” protocol (recovery time < 300 ms) provides better network reliability and faster
recovery time for redundant ring topologies. The “Turbo Ring V2” protocol (recovery time < 20
ms), supports additional redundant ring architectures.
In this manual, we use the terminology “Turbo Ring” ring and “Turbo Ring V2” ring to
differentiate between rings configured for one or the other of these protocols.
For a detailed description of “Turbo Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2,” please refer to the Using
Communication Redundancy section later in this chapter.

you upgraded the firmware
for Turbo Ring V2).
NOTE
If you upgrade the firmware of your IE- SW-VL08M from Turbo Rin g to Turbo Ring V2, but do not
reset the switch to factory defaults, the DIP switches will be set to configure the device for a “Turbo
Ring” ring. If you reset the switch to factory defaults, the DIP switches will be set to configure the
device for a “Turbo Ring V2” ring.
How to Configure the Turbo Ring DIP Switches
The Turbo Ring DIP Switches are set to the OFF position at the factory.
NOTE
The four DIP Switches are used to configure both the “Turbo Ring”
and “Turbo Ring V2” protocol s, depending on whic h protocol is acti ve.
To select which protocol the switch will use, start the user interface
software, and then use the left menu to navigate to the
Communication Redundancy page. To use one of the Turbo Ring
protocols for the switch, select either “Turbo Ring” or “Turbo Ring
V2” in the Redundancy Protocol drop-down box. See the
Configuring “Turbo Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2” section in this
chapter for details.
The following tables show how to use the DIP switches to configure the s witch for “Tu rbo R ing” or
“Turbo Ring V2.”
