Installation
Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included
with the device must be attached on the bottom at each corner of the device’s
base. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around
it.
Rack Installation
The switch can be mounted in a standard size 19-inch rack, which can be placed
in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting
brackets to the switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them with
the screws provided.
Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the switch in
the rack.
Connecting to Power
Power Failure
As a precaution, the switch should be unplugged in case of power failure. When
power is resumed, plug the switch back in.
Grounding the Switch
The following steps explain the procedure for connecting the switch to a
protective ground:
- Verify if the system power is off.
- Using a screwdriver, tighten the ground screw to secure the ground cable to the switch.
- Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding source.
- Verify if the connections at the ground connector on the switch and the rack are securely attached.
Plugging in the AC Power Cord with Power Cord Clip
A) With the rough side facing down, insert the Tie Wrap into the hole below the power socket.
B) Plug the AC power cord into the power socket of the Switch.
C) Slide the Retainer through the Tie Wrap until the end of the cord
D) Circle the tie of the Retainer around the power cord and into the
locker of the Retainer.
E) Fasten the tie of the Retainer until the power cord is secured.
F) Users may now connect the power cord (AC 100/240 V) to an electrical outlet.
Managing the Device
Management Options
The DXS-1100-16TC can be managed through any port by using the Web-based
Management. Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for
communication with the Web-Based Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC
should have an IP address in the same subnet as the switch. Each switch can
allow up to four users to access the Web-Based Management concurrently.
Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch,
monitor the network status, and display statistics using a web browser.
Supported Web Browsers
- Internet Explorer 7 or later version
- Google Chrome
- Firefox
- Safari
Connecting to the Switch
You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your
device:
- A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
- A standard Ethernet cable
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the PC.
Login Web-based Management
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC
must have an IP address in the same subnet 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 the web browser and enter
10.90.90.90 (the factory-default IP address) in the address bar. Then press .
NOTE: the switch’s factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
Enter the User name / Password with admin / admin, and press Login to enter the main configuration window.
Smart Wizard
After a successful login, the Smart Wizard will guide you through essential
settings of the Switch. If you do not plan to change anything, click Exit to
leave the Wizard and enter the Web-Interface.
D-Link Network Assistant (DNA)
The D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) is a program that allows administrators to quickly discover all D-Link smart switches, that are in the same subnet as the PC. This tool is only for computers running Windows 2000, Vista, XP, or 7. You can download DNA (D-Link Network Assistant) from Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/ and follow the on-screen instructions to install the utility
NOTE: please be sure to uninstall any existing DNA from your PC before installing the latest DNA.
