Installation Requirements

Before installation, make sure that you have the followings:

Phillips screwdriver.
Standard-sized, 19″ wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available.
Category 5e or higher RJ-45 Ethernet cables for connecting network devices.

Site Environment:

Make sure that the temperature of installation site is maintained at 0°~50°.
Make sure that the relative humidity of installation site is maintained at 10%~90%.
The installation site must be free from leaking, dripping water or heavy dew.
Keep the installation site dust-free.
The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that there is adequate air flow around the switch.
Make sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions.
Make sure that the rack and working platforms are well earthed.

Mounting the Switch

Desk Mounting

Attach four rubber pads to the bottom of switch.
Place the switch on a desk.

Rack Mounting

Fix the mounting brackets to the two sides of the switch with eight M4 screws.
Fix the switch to the rack with M6 screws and cage nuts.

NOTE: For wall mounting, you need to turn the mounting brackets to 90°and fix them to the two sides of the switch. Then mount the switch on the wall.

Grounding the Switch

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

CAUTION: The earth connection must not be removed unless all supply connections have been disconnected.

Connecting the Power

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

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

Connecting the RJ45 Ports

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to another network device.

Connecting the SFP/SFP+ Port

Plug the compatible SFP/SFP+ optical module into the SFP/SFP+ port.
Connect one end of a fiber optic cable to the optical module. Then connect the other end of the cable to another fiber device.

WARNING: Laser beams will cause eye damage. Do not look into bores of optical modules or fiber optical cables without eye protection.

Connecting the CONSOLE Port

Insert the RJ45 connector of the console cable into the console port of the switch.
Connect the DB9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the computer.

Configuring the Switch

Configuring the Switch via the Web-based Interface

Step 1: Connect the computer to the Management 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.)
Step 3: Open a browser, type http://192.168.1.1, and enter the default username and password, admin/admin.
Step 4: Click Login to display the web-based configuration page.

Configuring the Switch via the Console Port

Step 1: Connect a computer to the switch’s console port using the console cable.
Step 2: Start the terminal simulation software such as HyperTerminal on the computer.
Step 3: Set the parameters of the HyperTerminal: 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
Step 4: After setting the parameters, click Connect to enter.

Troubleshooting

The Power Module Cannot Supply Power

All indicators on the front panel of the switch are off. The status indicator of the fan module is off. The indicator on the panel of the power module is off. The fan does not work. First disconnect the power cord of the power module, then check the following:

Check whether the cable connections of the rack are correct.
Check whether the connection between the power socket and the power cord is loose.
Check whether the connection between the power module and the power cord is loose.
Check whether the power module inserts into place.

Connecting the Switch Remotely Unsuccessfully

Test network connectivity through ping.
If the network is reachable, try restarting the switch.
Check whether the corresponding service enables.

The Optical Port Cannot Link up

Check whether the receiving and delivering of fiber optical cable connects correctly.
Check whether the wavelengths of optical modules of the interconnection are the same.
Check whether the distance of the interconnection is within the distance marked by the optical module.
Check whether the rates of the interconnection are the same or whether the mode of port rate is configured correctly for ports which support different rates.
Check whether the optical fiber type meets the requirements.

No Characters/Distorted Characters are Displayed on the Screen of the Terminal Device

Check whether the console cable is correctly connected.
Check whether the console cable is broken.
Check whether the console port of the switch is the same as the port of the terminal device.
Check whether the console port configuration of the terminal device is correct.
