Installation Requirements

Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following: 

• Phillips screwdriver.
• Standard-sized, 19″ wide rack with a minimum of 1 U height available.
• Category Se or higher RJ-45 Ethernet cables for connecting network devices.

Site Environment:

• Do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 45°C.
• The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that there is adequate air flow around the switch.
• Be sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions.
• Do not install the equipment in a dusty environment.
• The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity.

Mounting the switch

Desk Mounting 

1. Attach four rubber pads to the bottom.
2. Place the chassis on the desk.

Rack Mounting 

1. Secure the mounting brackets to the two sides of the switch with eight M4 screws.
2. Attach the switch to the rack using four M6 screws and cage nuts.

Grounding the Switch

1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the switch is mounted.
2. Secure the grounding lug to the grounding point on the switch back panel with the washers and screws.

Connecting the Power

1. Plug the AC power cord into the power port on the back of the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power source.

WARNING: Do not install power cable while the power is on.

Connecting the RJ45 Ports

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port of a computer, printer, network storage, or other network devices.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port of the switch.

Connecting the SFP+ Ports

1. Plug the compatible SFP+/ SFP transceiver into the SFP+ port.
2. Connect a fiber optic cable to the fiber transceiver. Then connect the other end of the cable to another fiber device.

Connecting the Console Port

1. Insert the RJ45 connector of the console cable into the RJ45 console port on the front of the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the computer.

Connecting the ETH Port

1. Connect one end of a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable to a computer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the ETH port on the front of the switch.

Configuring the Switch

Configuring the Switch Using the Web-based Interface
Step 1: Connect the computer to any Ethernet port of the switch using the network cable.
Step 2: Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168. 1 .x (”x” is any number from 2 to 254.).

Set the subnet mask of the computer to 255.255.255.0 

Step 3: Open a browser, type http:/1192.168.1.1, and enter the default username and password, admin/admin.
Step 4: Click Sign in to display the web-based configuration page.

Configuring the Switch Using the Console Port

Step 1: Connect a computer to the switch’s console port using the supplied console cable.
Step 2: Start the terminal simulation software such as Hyper Terminal on the computer.
Step 3: Set the parameters of the HyperTerminal: 115200 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.

Step 4: Enter the default username and password, admin/admin.

Troubleshooting

Power LED Working Abnormally 

1. Check the power cable connections at the switch and the power source.
2. Make sure the power cord used matches the voltage and frequency of your local power.

HyperTerminal Displaying Abnormally 

1. Make sure the power supply is normal and the console cable is properly connected.
2. Check if the console cable is the right type.
3. Check if the control cable driver is properly installed on the computer.
4. Ensure the parameters of the HyperTerminal are correct.

Accessing the Web-based Configuration Page Unsuccessfully 

1. Check every port LED on the switch and make sure the Ethernet cable is connected properly.
2. Try another port on the switch and make sure the Ethernet cable is suitable and works normally.
3. Power off the switch and, after a while, power it on again.
4. Make sure the IP address of your PC is set within the subnet of the switch.
5. lf you still cannot access the configuration page, please restore the switch to its factory defaults.

Then the IP address of your PC should be set as 192.168.1.x (“x” is any number from 2 to 254) and Subnet Mask as 255.255.255.0.
