Installation Requirements

Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following:

Phillips screwdriver.
Standard-sized, 19″ wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available.
Category 5e or higher RJ45 Ethernet cables for connecting the network devices.

Site Environment:

Make sure that the workshop is well-ventilated, the heat of electrical devices is well-discharged and sufficient air circulation is provided for device cooling.
Avoid damage devices by following the electrostatic discharge prevention procedure.
Put the machine box in a place where cool air can blow off the heat inside the machine box. Make sure the machine box is sealed because the opened machine box will reverse the cool airflow.

Mounting the switch

Connecting the Power

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

Connecting the RJ45 Port

Plug a compatible RJ45 transceiver into the RJ45 port.
Connect an Ethernet patch cable to the RJ45 transceiver. Then connect the other end of the cable to another RJ45 device.

CAUTION: Laser beams will cause eye damage. Do not look into bores of optical modules or optical fibers without eyes protection.

Connecting the SFP Port

Connect SFP modules through the fiber to other Ethernet terminal devices.
Connect the other end of the cable to the SFP port on the front of the switch.

Connecting the Management Port

Connecting the Console Port

Insert the RJ45 connector of the console cable into the RJ45 console port on the front of the switch.
Connect the other end of the console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the computer.
The console port of S5300-24T4S does not support traffic control. Therefore, you must set the option data traffic control to none when you configure the switch with the super terminal. Otherwise, the single pass problem will arise on the super terminal.

Configuring the Switch

Configuring the Switch Using the Web-based Interface

Step1: Connect the computer to the Management port of the switch using the network cable.
Step 2: Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.0.x. (“x” is any number from 2 to 254.). Set the subnet mask of the computer to 255.255.255.0.

Configuring the Switch

Step 3: Open a browser, type http://192.168.0.2, and enter the default username and password, admin/ admin.
Step 4: Click sign in to display the web-based configuration page.

Configuring the Switch Using the Console Port

Step 1: Connect a computer to the switch’s console port using the supplied 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.

Configuring the Switch Using the Console Port

Step 4: Enter the default username and password, admin/admin.

Troubleshooting

Loading Failure Troubleshooting

When encountering loading failures, the system may continue running in its original version. To address this issue, users should first verify the physical port connections. In case of disconnected ports, reconnect them to ensure proper physical connections and proceed with reloading. If the physical connections are correct, users should then review the loading process information displayed on the super terminal for input errors. Any identified input errors should be corrected before reloading the system.

User Password Lost Troubleshooting

If a user forgets or loses the system password, they can reset it using the following method:

Connect your computer to the switch’s console port using a console cable.
Press the “ctrl + b” keys to enter the Uboot mode.
Start the system with an empty configuration file that has no password by entering the following command: Bootrom#boot_flash_nopass
Bootrom#Do you want to revert to the default config file?[Y|N|E]:

NOTE: Forgetting your username and password and restoring them through console port may cause configuration loss and business interruption. Please remember your username and password.

Configuration System Troubleshooting

Confirm that the power supply is functioning properly and that the console cable is securely connected.
Verify that the console cable is the correct type for your system.
Check if the control cable driver is correctly installed on the computer. You may need to download and install the appropriate driver from the manufacturer’s website.
Confirm that the HyperTerminal parameters are correctly set. Ensure that the baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity are properly configured according to your system’s specifications.
