Installation Guidelines
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.
Installing the Switch in a
Standard 19” Rack
The Switch can be mounted in a standard 19″(1U) rack using the provided
mounting brackets. Fasten the mounting brackets to the sides of the Switch
using the screws provided.
Fasten the mounting
brackets in any available open space in the rack using the screws provided.
Installing Transceivers into
the Transceiver Ports
The Switch is equipped with Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) and SFP+ ports,
which supply connecting SFP, WDM SFP and SFP+ transceivers.
Connecting to Power
Power On (AC Power)
Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power socket of the Switch and the
other end into the local power source outlet.
Power Failure (AC Power)
In the event of a power failure, just as a precaution, unplug the power cord
from the Switch. After the power returns, plug the power cord back into the
power socket of the Switch.
Connecting to a Redundant Power Supply
The DPS-700 is connected to the Master Switch using a 22-pin DC power cable. A
standard, three-pronged AC power cable connects the redundant power supply to
the main power source.
- Disconnect the Switch from the main AC power source.
- Insert one end of the 22-pin DC power cable into the port on the switch and the other end into the RPS.
- Using a standard AC power cord, connect the RPS to the main AC power source. A green LED on the front panel of the RPS will illuminate to indicate a successful connection.
- Reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power port of the Switch. The RPS LED indicator on the front panel of the Switch will indicate that an RPS is present and now in operation.
No configuration is needed in the Switch software for this installation.
CAUTION: do not connect the DPS-700 to the switch by using the 14-pin DC
power cable. It may cause damage when using the wrong DC power cable. Only use
the 22-pin DC power cable.
CAUTION: do not connect the RPS to AC power before the DC power cable is
connected. This might damage the internal power supply.
Switch Connections
Switch to End Node
End node is a generic name for edge networking devices that will be connected
to this switch. Typical examples of end nodes are Personal Computers (PCs),
Notebooks, Access Points, Print Servers, VoIP Phones and more. An end node
connects to the Switch via a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable. Connect the end node
to any of the 1000Base-T ports of the Switch. The Link/Act LEDs for each
Ethernet port turns green or orange when the link is active. A blinking LED
indicates packet activity on that port.
NOTE: all high-performance N-Way Ethernet ports can
support both MDI-II and MDI-X connections.
Switch to Switch
There is a great deal of flexibility on how connections are made using the
appropriate cabling.
- Connect a 10Base-T switch port to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/ STP cable.
- Connect a 100Base-TX switch port to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
- Connect 1000Base-T switch port to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.
- Connect switch supporting a fiber-optic uplink to the Switch’s SFP ports via fiber-optic cabling.
Connect to a Network Backbone
or Server
The 1000Base-T SFP ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone, server
or server farm.
Management Options
Web-based Management Interface
After successfully installing the Switch, the user can configure the Switch,
monitor the LED panel, and display statistics graphically using a web browser,
such as FireFox (version 3.0 and higher) or Microsoft® Internet Explorer
(version 5.0 and higher).
SNMP-based Management
The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch
supports SNMP version 1.0, version 2.0 and version 3.0.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The user can also connect a computer to the serial console port to access the
Switch. The command line interface provides complete access to all Switch
management features. Alternatively, the Switch can also be managed, in-band,
by using a Telnet connection.
Connecting the Console Port
To use the console port, the following equipment is needed:
- A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port the ability to emulate a terminal.
- A console cable with a male DB-9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connection on the other. This cable should be included with the Switch.
To configure the terminal emulation software as follows:
- Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
- Set the data rate to 115200 baud.
- Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
- Set flow control to none.
Then, under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode. Select Terminal keys
for Function, Arrow and Ctrl keys. Make sure to use Terminal keys (not Windows
keys) are selected. After you have correctly set up the terminal, plug the
power cord into the power receptacle on the back of the Switch.
The boot sequence appears in the terminal. After the boot sequence completes,
the console login screen displays.
Connecting to the Switch for the First Time
Upon initial connection to the Switch, the login screen appears (see example
below).
Press Enter in both the Username
and Password fields. Then access will be given to enter commands after the
command prompt: DGS-3620-28PC:admin#
There is no initial username or password. Leave the Username and Password
fields blank.
NOTE: the first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges.
At least one Administrator-level user account must be created for the Switch.
Connecting to the Management Port
The front panel of the Switch features a Management portwhich can be used to
connect to a computer using a standard Ethernet cable. A web browser or Telnet
client can be used to connect to the Switch using the MGMT port.
The default IP address of the Management port is 192.168.0.1, and a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0. Make sure that the computer being used for Switch
management has a nonconflicting IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet.
The IP settings or enabled status of the Management port can be changed
through the console port. To change the configuration of the Management port,
use the command: config out_band_ipif {ipaddress
