2.2 Wiring Power Inputs
DC Power Input
Follow below steps to wire the redundant DC power inputs.
1. Insert positive and negative wires into V+ and
V- contacts respectively of the terminal block
connector
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent DC
wires from being loosened.
3. Power 1 and Power 2 support power
redundancy and polarity reverse protection
functions.
4. Positive and negative power system inputs are
both accepted, but Power 1 and Power 2 must apply the same mode.
Note 1: It is a good practice to turn off input and load power, and to unplug
power terminal block before making wire connections. Otherwise, your
screwdriver blade can inadvertently short your terminal connections to the
grounded enclosure.
Note 2: The range of the suitable DC electric wire is from 12 to 24 AWG.
Note 3: If the 2 power inputs are connected, the switch will be powered from the
highest connected voltage. The unit will alarm for loss of power, either POWER1
or POWER2.
Note 4: Use a UL Listed Power supply with output rating 12-48VDC, minimum
1 A.

2.3 Wiring Digital Output
The switch provides two digital outputs, also known as Relay Output. The relay
contacts are energized (open) for normal operation and will close for fault
conditions. The fault conditions include power failure, Ethernet port link break or
other pre-defined events which can be configured in management UI.
The default (without power) state of the Digital Output is normal CLOSE state.
The ON/OFF states are controlled by software configuration.
Wiring digital output is exactly the same as wiring power input introduced in
chapter 2.2.

To ensure the system will not be damaged by noise or any electrical shock, we
suggest you to make exact connection with switch with Earth Ground.
For DC input, loosen the earth ground screw using a screw driver; then tighten
the screw after earth ground wire is connected.
2.5 Wiring Fast Ethernet Ports
The Fast Ethernet ports support 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, full or half duplex
modes. All the Fast Ethernet ports will auto-detect the signal from connected
devices to negotiate the link speed and duplex mode. Auto MDI/MDIX allows
users to connect another switch, hub or workstation without changing straight
through or crossover cables.
Note that crossover cables simply cross-connect the transmit lines at each end to
the received lines at the opposite end.
Note that Ethernet cables use pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 of an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. The
signals of these pins are converted by the automatic MDI-X function, as shown in
the table below:
Connect one side of an Ethernet cable into any switch port and connect the other
side to your attached device. The LNK LED will light up when the cable is correctly
connected. Refer to the LED Indicators section for descriptions of each LED
indicator. Always make sure that the cables between the switches and attached
devices (e.g. switch, hub, or workstation) are less than 100 meters (328 feet).
5. After connected, you can see Switch login request.
6. Log into the switch. The default username is “admin”, password,
“westermo”.

3.2 Preparation for Web Interface
The switch provides HTTP Web Interface and Secured HTTPS Web Interface for
web management.
3.2.1 Web Interface
Web management page is developed by JAVA. It allows you to use a standard
web-browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Mozilla Firefox, to
configure and/or log the switch from anywhere on the network.
Before you attempt to use the embedded web interface to manage switch
operation, verify that the switch is properly installed on your network and that
the PC on this network can access the switch via the web browser.
1. Verify that your network interface card (NIC) is operational, and that your
operating system supports TCP/IP protocol.
2. Wire DC power to the switch and connect your switch to your computer.
3. Make sure that the switch default IP address is 192.168.2.200.
4. Change your computer IP address to 192.168.2.2 or other IP address which
is located in the 192.168.2.x (Network Mask: 255.255.255.0) subnet.
5. Switch to DOS command mode and ping 192.168.2.200 to verify a normal
response time.
Launch the web browser and Login.
6. Launch the web browser (Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) on the PC.
7. Type http://192.168.2.200 (or the IP address of the switch). And then
press Enter.
8. The login screen will appear next.
9. Type in the user name and the password. Default user name is admin and
password westermo.
10. Select Language type: English and Simplified Chinese.
16
Click on Enter or OK. The Welcome page of the web-based management
interface will then appear.
Once you enter the web-based management interface, you can freely change
the IP address to fit your network environment.
Note 1: Internet Explorer 5.0 or later versions do not allow Java applets to
open sockets by default. Users have to directly modify the browser settings to
selectively enable Java applets to use network ports.
Note 2: The Web UI connection session will be logged out automatically if you
don’t give any input after 30 seconds. After logged out, you should re-login and
type in the correct user name and password again.
17
3.2.2 Secured Web Interface
Web management page also provides secured management HTTPS login. All
the configuration commands will be secured.
Launch the web browser and log in.
1. Launch the web browser (Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) on the PC.
2. Type https://192.168.2.200 (or the IP address of the switch). And then
press Enter.
3. The popup screen will appear and request you to trust the secured HTTPS
connection. Press Yes to trust it.
4. The login screen will appear next.

3.3.2 SSH (Secure Shell)
The switch also support SSH console. You can remotely connect to the switch
by command line interface. The SSH connection can secure all the configuration
commands you send to the switch.
When you wish to establish a SSH connection with the switch, you should
download the SSH client tool first.
SSH Client: There are many free, sharewares, trials or charged SSH clients you
can find on the internet. Fox example, PuTTY is a free and popular Telnet/SSH
client. We’ll use this tool to demonstrate how to login by SSH.
1. Open SSH Client/PuTTY
In the Session configuration, enter the Host Name (IP Address of the switch)
and Port number(default = 22). Choose the “SSH” protocol. Then click on
“Open” to start the SSH session console.
