Information Requirements

Before installation, ensure you have the following:

• Workstations running Windows XP/2003/Vista/7/8/10/2008, MAC OS X or later, Linux, UNIX, or other platforms compatible with TCP/IP protocols.
• Workstations installed with an Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card).
• Serial Port Connection (Terminal): Workstations with a COM Port (DB9) or USB-to-RS232 converter, and terminal emulator software (e.g., HyperTerminal). A serial cable is needed to connect the computer's RS232 serial port to the switch's RJ45 console port.
• Ethernet Port Connection: Network cables (UTP) with RJ45 connectors. A PC with a web browser installed. (Internet Explorer 8.0 or above is recommended).

Note: If the web interface is inaccessible, disable anti-virus software or firewall.

Mounting the Switch

Desk Mounting

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

Rack Mounting

1. Secure the mounting brackets to the two sides of the switch using the supplied M3 screws.
2. Attach the switch to the rack using screws and tighten them.

Grounding the Switch

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to a well-grounded mounting surface (e.g., a metal panel) before connecting devices.

Connecting the Power

The switch has an AC/DC inlet power socket and a 5-contact terminal block connector. Follow these steps:

1. Press the orange button on the terminal block with your hand or a flat-blade screwdriver.

1. Insert positive/negative AC/DC power wires into Contacts + and - for Power 1 and Power 2, then release the button.

Note: The wire gauge for the terminal block should be between 12-24 AWG.

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 an RJ45 port on the switch.

Connecting the SFP Ports

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

Connecting the Console Port

1. Insert the RJ45 connector into the RJ45 console port on the front panel of the switch.
2. Connect the DB9 female connector of the console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the computer.

Configuring the Switch

Configuring the Switch Using the Web-based Interface

1. Connect your computer to any RJ45 port of the switch using a network cable.
2. Set the IP address of your computer to 192.168.1.x (where 'x' is any number from 2 to 255).
3. Open a web browser, enter the default IP address of the switch (192.168.1.1), and enter the default username and password (admin/admin).
4. Click Login to access the web-based configuration page.

Configuring the Switch Using the Console Port

1. Connect a computer to the switch's console port using the console cable.
2. Start terminal simulation software (e.g., HyperTerminal) on your computer.
3. Configure the HyperTerminal parameters: 115200 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
4. Click Connect to establish the connection.

Troubleshooting

100M/1G Port is not Working

• Ensure the optical module and cable are functioning correctly.
• Check if the configuration at both ends of the communication device is set to auto or forced rate.

Failed to Connect to the Switch Remotely

• Test network connectivity using ping.
• If the network is reachable, try restarting the switch.
• Verify that the relevant service is enabled.

The Port is not Working, and the LED Indicator is Off

• Ensure the switch ports are enabled (not in shutdown state).
• Check if the switch can read DDM information.
• Verify the port speed setting is correct.
• Try looping the switch cable.

RJ45 port is not in connectivity or it is erroneous in receiving/transmitting frames

• Replace the twisted pair cable.
• Ensure the port configuration matches the connected device's working mode.
