GRANDSTREAM GWN7806 Enterprise Layer 2 Plus Stackable Managed Network

Switch Instruction Manual

OVERVIEW

The GWN7806(P) is layer 2+ stackable managed switch that allows small-to- medium enterprises to build scalable, secure, high performance and smart business networks that are fully manageable. It supports advanced VLAN for flexible and sophisticated traffic segmentation, advanced QoS for priori- tization of network traffic, IGMP/MLD Snooping for network performance optimization, and compre- hensive security capabilities against potential attacks. The GWN7806P provides smart dynamic PoE output to power IP phones, IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points and other PoE endpoints. GWN7806(P) is easy to deploy and manage, including managed by the local Web user interface of the GWN7806(P) switch and CLI, the command-line interface. The switch is also supported by GWN.Cloud and GWN Manager, Grandstream’s cloud and on-premise network management platform. The GWN7806(P) is the best value enterprise-grade managed network switch for small-to-medium businesses.

POWERING & CONNECTING

Grounding the Switch

Remove the ground screw from the back of switch, and connect one end of the ground cable to the wiring terminal of
Put the ground screw back into the screw hole, and tighten it with a screwdriver.

Notes:

Please select the optical fiber cable according to the module The multi-mode module corresponds to the multi-mode optical fiber, and the single-mode module corresponds to the single-mode optical fiber.
Please select the same wavelength optical fiber cable for
Please select an appropriate optical module according to the actual networking situation to meet different transmission distance

Connect the other end of the ground cable to other device Ground Bar __ that has been grounded or directly to the terminal of the ground bar in the equipment room.

Powering on the Switch

Connect the power cable and the switch first, then connect the power cable to the power supply system of the equipment room.

Connecting Power Cord Anti-Trip

In order to protect the power supply from accidental disconnection, it’s recommended to use a power cord anti-trip for installation.

Force the head of the fixing strap tightly into the hole next to the power socket until it’s buckled on the shell without falling
After plugging the power cord into the power outlet, slide the protector over the remaining strap until it slides over the end of the power
Wrap the strap of the protective cord around the power cord and lock it tightly. Fasten the straps until the power cord is securely fastened.

Connect to Console Port

Connect the console cable (prepared by yourself) to the DB9 male connector or USB port to the PC.
Connect the other end of the RJ45 end of the console cable to the console port of switch

Notes:

To connect, the steps order (1 - > 2) must be
To disconnect, the steps order is reversed (2 - > 1).

INSTALLATION

Install on the Desktop

Place the bottom of switch on a sufficiently large and stable table.
Peel off the rubber protective paper of the four footpads one by one, and stick them in the corresponding circular grooves at the four corners of the bottom of the
Flip the switch over and place it smoothly on the table.

Install on a 19” Standard Rack

Check the grounding and stability of the rack.
Install the two L-shaped rack-mounting in the accessories on both sides of switch, and fix them with the screws provided (KM 3*6).
Place the switch in a proper position in the rack and support it by the bracket
Fix the L-shaped rack-mounting to the guide grooves at both ends of the rack with screws (prepared by yourself) to ensure that the switch is stable and horizontally installed on the

ACCESS & CONFIGURE

Note: If no DHCP server is available, the GWN7806(P) default IP address is 192.168.0.254.

A PC uses a network cable to correctly connect any RJ45 port of the
Set the Ethernet (or local connection) IP address of the PC to 192.168.0.x (“x” is any value between 1-253), and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, so that it is in the same network segment with switch IP address. If DHCP is used, this step could be
