  • Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the switch.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the switch

Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, attach the rubber feet included with the device on the bottom at each corner of the device’s base. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it. DGS-1510-28X Smart Managed Gigabit Switches 1 Grounding the Switch
Before powering on your switch, you must connect it to ground. Refer to Figure 2 for instructions on how to connect a grounding cable.
This section describes how to connect the Switch to ground. You must complete this procedure before powering on your Switch.
Required Tools and Equipment

  • Grounding screws (included in the accessory kit): One M4 x 6 mm (metric) pan-head screw

  • Grounding cable (not included in the accessory kit): The grounding cable should be sized according
    to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for installation. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the cable depends on the proximity of the Switch to proper grounding facilities.

  • A screwdriver (not included in the accessory kit)

You can connect the Switch to a protective ground by following the steps below:

  1. Verify if the system power is off.
  2.  Use the grounding cable to place the #8 terminal lug ring on top of the ground-screw opening.
  3. Insert the grounding screw into the ground-screw opening.
  4. Using a screwdriver, tighten the grounding screw to secure the grounding cable to the Switch.
  5. Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding stud or bolt on rack where the Switch is installed.
  6. Verify if the connections at the ground connector on the Switch and the rack are securely attached.

Management Options

This system may be managed out-of-band through the console port on the front/back panel or in-band using Telnet. The user may also choose the web- based management, accessible through a web browser. Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch’s default IP address is 10.90.90.90. The user can change the default Switch IP address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.

Web-based Management Interface

After a successful physical installation, you can configure the switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics graphically using a web browser, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 7.0 and higher, Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
You need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:

  • A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
  • A standard Ethernet cable

Step 1
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports in front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the PC.
DGS-1510-28X Smart Managed Gigabit Switches 11 Step 2
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP address in the same range as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~254), and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
Open your web browser and enter http://10.90.90.90 (the factory-default IP address) in the address box. Then press .
DGS-1510-28X Smart Managed Gigabit Switches 12The web configuration can also be accessed through the DNA. You can click the IP hyper link in the device list in the DNA to open the web GUI of devices.
NOTE: The switch’s factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0
Step 3
When the following logon dialog box appears, enter “admin” for both the Username and Password and choose the language of the Web-based Management interface then click Login.
