• Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging until they are ready to be installed.
• Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be present on you.
• Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist strap stations and ESD safe lab coats.
• Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
• Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact with components.

Introduction

Connect Tech’s Xtreme/10G Managed Ethernet Switch (XDG201) provides high density, high port count Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing with 10G uplinks. A total of 36 switchable ports, with 4 x 10G, 8 x 1G (SGMII) and 24 x 1G (Copper 10/100/1000Mbps) Ports in an extremely small form factor 85mm x 85mm. The devices target managed Layer 2 and Layer 3 equipment in SMB, SME, and industrial applications where high port count 1G switching with 10G aggregation/uplinks are required.
The XDG201 is a Network Switching Module. This module is of a proprietary form factor and contains a board-to-board connector that allows it to be integrated into an off the shelf carrier like the XBG301 or other custom/application specific carrier.

Detailed Feature Description

Main Board-to-Board Connector

The Main Board-to-Board connector carries:

• Input power from the carrier to the module
• Power control and reset signals
• 24x 1G copper pairs, for termination to RJ-45s on carrier board
• 4x 10G for connection to SFP+ on the carrier board
• 8x 1G for connection to SFP on the carrier board

Switch Details And Typical Installation

Switch Details

DIP Switch Details (S1)

• Ensure – S1 Lower Switch Position is set to “RUN” at all times.
• Moving the switch to “RESET” will hold the entire device in RESET and will prevent the board from booting.

Typical Installation

1. Install XHG201 heatplate to XDG201 module.
2. Prepare breakout/carrier board with 4 x M3 8mm standoffs.
3. Ensure breakout/carrier board will be supplying module with +12V DC.
4. Mate board-to-board connector from XDG201 module to that of the breakout/carrier board.
5. Turn power ON to breakout/carrier board, XDG201 will now boot up.

On-Board Indicator LED’s

The XDG201 has 2 on-board indicator LEDs.

–       If this LED is ON, this indicates that all on-board power supplies are ON and at the proper level.

CLI Management Interface

CLI Access via External Serial Port

To use the CLI management on the XDG you must connect to the external management serial port. Only TX, RX and GND connections are needed for operation. You then must open the serial port in a terminal program such as: RealTerm, Putty, HyperTerminal, minicom, etc. The COM port must be set up to run with a baud rate of 115200, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.

CLI Basics

Once opening the COM port attached to the management port, after boot up your terminal output should look like the output below. The default login is admin and password is blank(“”). So after typing admin hit then hit again to login and “?” will display a list of the available commands. Below is a list of common quick CLI commands. For a complete CLI reference please see the documents described below.

int vlan 1

ip add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.0

end

Web Management Interface

• The Xtreme/10G Managed Ethernet Switch/Router allows users to configure and monitor the device from any web enabled device.
• Below describes how to access this management interface as well as provides on overview on the web GUI itself.

Accessing the Web Management Interface

There are two ways to access the web interface for first time use.

Method #1 – Using the default shipping IP

This method DOES NOT require having access to the CLI interface. By default the Xtreme/10G will have an IP address of 10.10.10.1, if you would like to connect to this address follow the steps below:

• Directly connect any port of Xtreme/10G to your host PC using a standard Cat5e ethernet cable
• Setup your host PC’s IP address to be on the same subnet as Xtreme/10G (10.10.10.X)
• Open a web browser and go to the 10.10.10.1 address.
• Now you should see the login screen and from here you can setup the Xtreme/10G to an IP address on your network.

Method #2 – Changing the Xtreme/10G IP to one on your network via the CLI

This method requires having access to the CLI interface through means of the external management serial port or the PCIe/104 bus

• Login to the CLI interface
• Type in the following commands
• configure terminal
• interface vlan 1
• ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.0
• end
• Now connect Xtreme/10G to any place on your network.
• Once the system is up simply go to your specified address of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in a web browser of your choice and you will see the login screen for the web interface

Login Screen of Web Management Interface

To login into the web management interface, the default login is admin and the password is blank. (See below)
