Chapter 1: Device Installation

1.1 Safety Precautions

Follow these notes to avoid device damage or personal injury:

• Wear ESD bracelet or gloves before installation.
• Do NOT power on the switch before finishing installation.
• Use the included power cord. Ensure the input voltage matches the switch specifications.
• Do NOT block ventilation openings.
• Do NOT remove the switch housing.
• Keep the operating environment clean and regularly clean the switch. Disconnect power before cleaning. Do NOT use liquids.
• Position the switch away from power lines, electric lamps, or power systems.
• Do NOT place heavy items on top of the switch.
• If an outdoor cable is required, ensure the signal surge protector and AC surge arrester are connected.

1.2 Preparing for Installation

Package Contents:

• Switch x 1
• Power cord x 1
• L-shaped bracket x 2
• Screw (KM3*8 mm) x 8
• Footpad x 4
• Quick installation guide x 1
• Console cable x 1 (only provided with G5328P-24-410W)

Tools Required:

• Rack mounting: ESD bracelet or gloves, screwdriver, 4 screws (for securing to rack).
• Wall mounting: ESD bracelet or gloves, marker, hammer drill, rubber hammer, 4 expansion bolts (M5*40 mm), screwdriver, 4 screws (PA 5*25 mm, head diameter: 10 mm).
• Desktop mounting: ESD bracelet or gloves.

1.3 Installation

Mounting to a standard 19-inch rack

1. Ensure the rack is stable, level, and properly grounded.
2. Fix the 2 L-shaped brackets to both sides of the switch using the included screws.
3. Mount the switch at a proper height on the rack and fix the L-shaped brackets to the rack with screws (not included). Ensure the switch is stable.

Mounting to the wall

1. Fix the 2 L-shaped brackets (rotated by 90 degrees) to both sides of the switch using the included screws.
2. Place the switch horizontally onto the wall with its RJ45 ports facing upward, and mark the screw hole positions.
3. Drill holes at the marked positions and hammer the expansion bolts into the holes.
4. Secure the screws (self-prepared) through the L-brackets into the expansion bolts. Ensure the switch is installed firmly with its RJ45 ports facing upward.

Note: Switches can only be installed on non-flammable walls (e.g., concrete). Do NOT install with ventilation openings facing downward. Suitable for mounting at heights ≤ 2 m.

Mounting on the desktop

1. Paste the four footpad stickers to the corresponding recesses on the bottom of the switch.
2. Turn the switch upside down and place it horizontally on a clean, stable, and flat desktop.

1.4 Grounding

Grounding is important for lightning protection, anti-interference, and personal safety.

1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the grounding terminal of the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to another grounded device or to the binding post on the grounding bar.

Note: Connect the grounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do NOT connect it to a fire hose or lightning rod.

Chapter 2: Physical Connection

Refer to the following network topology to connect the switch to other network devices:

Network Topology Diagram Description:

• An Internet connection is shown.
• A signal surge protector is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable.
• The router is connected to an aggregation switch via an Ethernet cable.
• The aggregation switch is connected to the IP-COM switch (labeled 'This switch') via an Ethernet cable.
• Other network devices (e.g., IP cameras, APs) are connected to the IP-COM switch via Ethernet cables.
• A grounding cable connects the switch's grounding terminal to a grounding bar.

Note: The switch supports auto MDI/MDIX, so both straight-through and crossover cables can be used.

Chapter 3: Login

After connection, check if the switch is connected properly or adjust the operating mode.

Login to the Web UI

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to one of the switch's RJ45 ports (ports 1-24 for G5328P-24-410W, ports 1-9 for G5310P-8-150W).
2. Set your computer's IP address to the same network segment as the switch. The default IP address is 10.16.16.168. Set your computer's IP to 10.16.16.X (where X is 2-254, excluding 168 and not occupied) and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
3. Start a web browser (e.g., Chrome) on your computer and enter the default IP address (10.16.16.168) in the address bar. Press Enter.
4. On the login page, enter the default username and password (both 'admin') and click 'Login'.

If you cannot access the web UI, refer to the FAQ section.

LED Indicators and Buttons

LED Mode (or LED/Reset) Button:

• This multipurpose button is for LED indicator conversion and reset.
• Press to convert the mode of the Link/Act or PoE LED indicator.
• Reset Function: When the SYS LED indicator is blinking, press and hold this button for about 10 seconds until all indicators are solid on. Release when the SYS LED indicator blinks again to restore factory settings.

LED Indicators:

• PoE-Max: Solid on: Total PoE output power reaches maximum. Off: Not at maximum.
• SYS: Blinking: System working properly. Solid on: System not working properly. Off: System starting up or not working properly.
• Power: Solid on: Switch powered on properly. Off: Not powered on or not powered on properly.
• Link/Act or PoE:
  • Link/Act Mode (LED Mode button solid green): Solid on: Port connected, no data transmission. Blinking: Data being transmitted. Off: Port not connected. Green light: 1000 Mbps connection. Orange light: 10/100 Mbps connection.
  • PoE Mode (LED Mode button solid orange): Solid orange: Port supplying PoE power. Blinking orange: Port not supplying PoE power properly. Off: Port not supplying PoE power.

FAQ

1. I cannot log in to the web UI of the switch. What should I do?

• Check if the switch is powered on (Power LED is solid on).
• Verify the computer is connected properly to the switch.
• Ensure the computer's Ethernet IP address is set to 10.16.16.X (X=2-254, excluding 168 and not occupied) with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
• Clear the web browser cache or try a different browser.
• Disable the computer's firewall or try a different computer.
• Ensure only one device has the IP address 10.16.16.168 on the local network.
• If the problem persists, reset the switch to factory settings using the LED Mode (or LED/Reset) button.
