Hardware Installation
3.1 Network Connection
Before starting to configure the device, you have to connect your devices
correctly.
A hierarchical network with minimum levels of devices may reduce the timing
delay between server and client station. Basically, this approach will
minimize the number of devices in any one path; will lower the possibility of
network loop, and will improve network efficiency. If more than two devices
are connected in the same network, select one device as a Level 1 device and
connect all other devices to it at Level 2. Server/Host is recommended to
connect to the Level 1 device. This is generally if no VLAN or other special
requirements are applied.
All device ports are in the same local area network. 3.2 Rack–Mounted Installation
The switch can be installed easily by using rack mount kit.
-
Fasten the rack mount kit on both sides of the VigorSwitch using specific screws.
-
Then, install the VigorSwitch (with rack mount kit) on the 19-inch chassis by using other four screws.
Software Configuration
Before using the switch, perform the following steps:
1. Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC by a
qualified UTP Cat. 5e cable with RJ-45 connector.
If a PC directly connects to the switch, you have to setup the same subnet
mask for PC and the switch. Default values of the managed switch are listed as
follows:
192.168.1.224 | IP Address |
---|---|
255.255.255.0 | Subnet Mask |
Enabled (On) | DHCP Client |
Username admin | Username admin |
Password admin | Password admin |
2. After configuring correct IP address on your PC, open your web browser and
access switch’s IP address. The home page of
VigorSwitch will be shown as below: Customer Service
If the switch cannot work correctly after trying many efforts, please contact
