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.

1. Fasten the rack mount kit on both sides of the VigorSwitch using specific screws.
   

2. 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:

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
