CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch. The XGS1930 Series consists of
the following models:
• XGS1930-28
• XGS1930-28HP
• XGS1930-52
• XGS1930-52HP
References to PoE model(s) in this User's Guide only apply to XGS1930-28HP and XGS1930-52HP.
The Switch is a smart managed switch with one power slot for single power supply. The Switch provides
four SFP+ slots for uplink. By integrating static route functions, the Switch performs wire-speed layer-3
routing in addition to layer-2 switching.
The Switch supports NebulaFlex for hybrid mode which can set the Switch to operate in either
standalone or Nebula cloud management mode. When the Switch is in standalone mode, it can be
configured and managed by the web configurator. When the Switch is in Nebula cloud management
mode, it can be managed and provisioned by the Zyxel Nebula Control Center (NCC). See Section 8.12
on page 105 for more information.
The following table describes the port features of the Switch by model.
1.1.1 Management Modes
NebulaFlex for ‘hybrid mode’ means you can set the Switch to operate in only one of either direct
standalone or cloud mode (not both at the same time). The Nebula Control Center (NCC) is an
alternative cloud-based network management system that allows you to remotely manage and
monitor the Switch.

Use the web configurator to configure and manage the Switch directly in standalone mode or use
Nebula Control Center (NCC) to configure and manage the Switch in cloud mode. You may also
access a minimized version of the web configurator in cloud mode.
Nebula Cloud Management
To have Nebula manage the Switch, you must first register it at the Nebula web portal at http://
nebula.zyxel.com, and ensure that Nebula Control Center Discovery is enabled in Basic > Cloud
Management > Nebula Control Center Discovery in the Switch web configurator (enabled by default).
Note: See the Switch’s datasheet for the feature differences between standalone and
Nebula cloud management modes. You can find the Switch’s datasheet at the Zyxel
website.
See the NCC (Nebula Control Center) User’s Guide for how to configure the Switch using Nebula.
1.1.2 Mode Changing
This section describes how to change the Switch’s management mode.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
XGS1930 Series User’s Guide
20
Note: When you change the Switch’s management mode from standalone mode to Nebula-
manged mode, the configuration settings of the Switch will be overwritten with what
you have configured in Nebula.
When you change the Switch’s management mode from Nebula-manged mode to
standalone mode, the Switch will reset to its factory-default settings.
From Standalone to Nebula Cloud Management
To manage your Switch via Nebula, connect the Switch to the Internet, and register it to a site and
organization at the Nebula web portal (http://nebula.zyxel.com).
See the following steps or the Switch Quick Start Guide for how to do device registration.

3 Select a site and scan the Switch's QR code to add it to the site. You can find the QR code:
• On a label on the Switch or
• On its box or
• In the web configurator at Basic > Cloud Management > Nebula Switch Registration.
See Section 3.3 on page 40 for more information about the CLOUD LED or Section 7.2 on page 68 for
more information about the Hybrid Mode field in the Status screen to see if the Switch goes into Nebula
cloud management mode successfully.
Note: The Switch goes into Nebula-managed mode automatically after it can access the
Nebula web portal and is successfully registered there. Its login password and settings
are then overwritten with what you have configured in the Nebula web portal.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
XGS1930 Series User’s Guide
21
From Nebula-managed to Standalone
To return to direct management standalone mode, just click Unregister to remove the Switch from the
organization/site in the Nebula web portal. The Switch will reboot and restore the factory default
settings.
1.1.3 ZON Utility
With its built-in web configurator, including the Zyxel One Network (ZON) Neighbor Management feature
(Section 7.4 on page 72), viewing, managing and configuring the Switch and its neighboring devices is
easy.
In addition, Zyxel offers a proprietary software program called Zyxel One Network (ZON) Utility, it is a
utility tool that assists you to set up and maintain network devices in a more simple and efficient way.
You can download the ZON Utility at www.zyxel.com and install it on a PC (Windows operation system).
For more information on ZON Utility see Section 7.3 on page 67.
The following table shows which firmware version supports ZON and Neighbor Management (Smart
Connect) for each Switch. The firmware on each Switch is identified by the firmware trunk version,
followed by a unique model code and release number in brackets. For example, 4.50(ABHT.0) is a
firmware version for XGS1930-28 where 4.50 is the firmware trunk version, ABHT identifies the XGS1930-28
and .0 is the first release of trunk version 4.50.
1.1.4 PoE
The XGS1930-28HP and XGS1930-52HP come with a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) feature. The XGS1930-
28HP and XGS1930-52HP support the IEEE 802.3at High Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard and IEEE
802.3af PoE standard.
Key feature differences between Switch models are as follows. Other features are common to all
models.
The following table describes the PoE features of the Switch by model.

1.2 Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments.
1.2.1 Backbone Application
The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future.
The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and
servers directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch.
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network,
simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers etc.
Figure 1 Backbone Application
1.2.2 Bridging Example
In this example, the Switch connects different company departments (RD and Sales) to the corporate
backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All
users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the Switch. You can
provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet/SFP/SFP+ port on the Switch.
Moreover, the Switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize
multiple servers at a single location.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
XGS1930 Series User’s Guide
23
Figure 2 Bridging Application
1.2.3 High Performance Switching Example
The Switch is ideal for connecting two networks that need high bandwidth. In the following example, use
trunking to connect these two networks.
Switching to higher-speed LANs such as ATM (Asynchronous Transmission Mode) is not feasible for most
people due to the expense of replacing all existing Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring
your network and complex maintenance. The Switch can provide the same bandwidth as ATM at much
lower cost while still being able to use existing adapters and switches. Moreover, the current LAN
structure can be retained as all ports can freely communicate with each other.
Figure 3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Application
1.2.4 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Examples
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical
networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one group. A station can belong to more than one
group. With VLAN, a station cannot directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same group(s)
unless such traffic first goes through a router.
For more information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 9 on page 107.
1.2.4.1 Tag-based VLAN Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain thus increase network
performance through reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding,
moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
XGS1930 Series User’s Guide
24
Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In the
following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports can belong to
other VLAN groups too.
Figure 4 Shared Server Using VLAN Example
1.3 Ways to Manage the Switch
Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported)
web browser. See Chapter 4 on page 37.
• FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Section 35.10.1 on page
286.
• SNMP. The Switch can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See Section 35.8 on page 284.
• Cluster Management. Cluster Management allows you to manage multiple switches through one
switch, called the cluster manager. See Chapter 39 on page 313.
• ZON Utility. ZON Utility is a program designed to help you deploy and perform initial setup on a
network more efficiently. See Section 7.3 on page 67.
• NCC (Zyxel Nebula Control Center). With the NCC, you can remotely manage and monitor the
Switch through a cloud-based network management system. See Section 8.12 on page 105 or the
NCC User’s Guide for detailed information about how to access the NCC and manage your Switch
via the NCC. See the NCC User’s Guide for how to configure Nebula managed devices.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the Switch
Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch more
effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
XGS1930 Series User’s Guide
25
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the Switch to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the Switch. You could simply restore your
last configuration.

CHAPTER 2
Hardware Installation and
Connection
2.1 Installation Scenarios
This chapter shows you how to install and connect the Switch.
The Switch can be placed on a desktop or rack-mounted on a standard EIA rack. Use the rubber feet in
a desktop installation and the brackets in a rack-mounted installation.
2.2 Desktop Installation Procedure
1 Make sure the Switch is clean and dry.
2 Set the Switch on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the Switch and the
connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.
3 Make sure there is at least 40 mm of clearance from the bottom to the Switch, and make sure there is
enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation and the attachment of cables and the
power cord. This is especially important for enclosed rack installations.
4 Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
5 Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These rubber feet help protect the
Switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.
Figure 5 Attaching Rubber Feet
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection
XGS1930 Series User’s Guide
27
Note: Do NOT block the ventilation holes. Leave space between devices when stacking.
Note: Do NOT store things on the Switch, and allow clearance next to the ventilation holes to
prevent your Switch from overheating. This is especially crucial when your Switch
doesn’t have fan modules. See Section Table 1 on page 18 to see whether your Switch
has fan modules.
Overheating could affect the performance of your Switch, or even
damage it.
2.3 Mounting the Switch on a Rack
The Switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other
equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your Switch on a standard EIA rack using a rack-mounting
kit.
Note: Make sure there is enough clearance between each equipment on the rack for air
circulation.
2.3.1 Rack-mounted Installation Requirements
• Two mounting brackets.
• Eight M3 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
• Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.
2.3.1.1 Precautions
• Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains.
• Make sure the position of the Switch does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all
necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.
2.3.2 Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch
1 Position a mounting bracket on one side of the Switch, lining up the four screw holes on the bracket with
the screw holes on the side of the Switch.
Figure 6 Attaching the Mounting Brackets
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection
XGS1930 Series User’s Guide

2 Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, install the M3 flat head screws through the mounting bracket holes into
the Switch.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the second mounting bracket on the other side of the Switch.
4 You may now mount the Switch on a rack. Proceed to the next section.
2.3.3 Mounting the Switch on a Rack
1 Position a mounting bracket (that is already attached to the Switch) on one side of the rack, lining up
the two screw holes on the bracket with the screw holes on the side of the rack.
Figure 7 Mounting the Switch on a Rack
2 Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, install the M5 flat head screws through the mounting bracket holes into
the rack.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to attach the second mounting bracket on the other side of the rack.
Note: Make sure you tighten all the four screws to prevent the Switch from getting slanted.

CHAPTER 3
Hardware Panels
This chapter describes the front panel and rear panel of the Switch and shows you how to make the
hardware connections.
3.1 Front Panel
The following figures show the front panels of the Switch.
Figure 8 Front Panel: XGS1930-28
Figure 9 Front Panel: XGS1930-28HP
Figure 10 Front Panel: XGS1930-52
Figure 11 Front Panel: XGS1930-52HP
3.1.1 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The Switch has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet, the speed can be 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The duplex mode can be half duplex or
full duplex.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps)
and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover
Ethernet cable.
When auto-negotiation is turned on, an Ethernet port negotiates with the peer automatically to
determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-
negotiation or turns off this feature, the Switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal
on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the Switch’s auto-negotiation is turned off, an Ethernet
Chapter 3 Hardware Panels
XGS1930 Series User’s Guide
30
port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to
make sure that the settings of the peer Ethernet port are the same in order to connect.
3.1.1.1 Default Ethernet Negotiation Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Gigabit ports on the Switch are:
• Speed: Auto
•Duplex: Auto
• Flow control: Off
• Link Aggregation: Disabled
3.1.1.2 Auto-crossover
All ports are auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports (Media Dependent Interface Crossover), so you may
use either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet cable for all Gigabit port connections.
Auto-crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to function as crossover or straight ports, so
crossover cables can connect both computers and switches/hubs.
3.1.2 PoE (XGS1930-28HP & XGS1930-52HP)
The Switch supports both the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at Power over
Ethernet (PoE) plus standards. The Switch is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) because it provides a
source of power via its Ethernet ports. Each device that receives power through an Ethernet port is a
Powered Device (PD).
3.1.3 SFP/SFP+ Slots
These are four slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or SFP+ modules, such as an SFP/SFP+
transceiver. The SFP+ (SFP Plus) is an enhanced version of the SFP and supports data rates of 10 Gbps. A
transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver to connect a fiber-
optic cable to the Switch. The Switch does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that
comply with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the
SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.
You can change transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to
connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
• Type: SFP or SFP+ connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 or 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic
module’s connectors.
3.1.3.1 Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install an SFP/SFP+ transceiver.
1 Locate the transmit (Tx) and the receive (Rx) markings on the SFP+ module to identify the top.
2 Insert the transceiver into the slot.
