Product Outline

Switch-M8eG is an all Giga bit Ethernet switching hub equipped with eight 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports and one SFP extension slot with a management function.

Features

• Fanless design solves noise problem or fan failure.

• Has a loop detection function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the corresponding port LED and automatically shuts down the looped port. In addition, when a port is shut down and when it automatically recovers, an SNMP trap can be sent to notify the administrator.

• Has a loop detection history function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the corresponding LED and enables a network administrator to identify the looped port after the loop is removed.

• Embedded power saving mode detects the connection status automatically and saves power consumption to minimum.

• Use of LED indicator switching button saves power consumption of LED lamps.

• Ports 1 to 8 are auto negotiation-ready 10/100/1000BASE-T ports. Their speed and communication mode can be changed by configuration.
  Port 9 can be exclusively used as an SFP extension slot.

• All twisted pair ports support straight/cross cable auto sensing function. Simply connect devices with straight cables, whether it is a terminal or a network device.
  (This function does not work if the port communication configuration is set at Fixed or Link Aggregation. Ports 1 to 7 are set at MDI-X. (default))

• VLAN function allows free grouping of up to 256 VLANs.

• The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.

•  Has an Internet Mansion function, which ensures security between each door.

• Has a port grouping function, which groups ports that are allowed to communicate with one another to limit communications between different groups.

• Equipped with energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) conforming to IEEE802.3az (LPI).
  When there is no data transmission at link up, the energy-saving state automatically starts so that power consumption can be reduced on each port.

• The IEEE802.1X compatible user authentication function (EAP-MD5/TLS/PEAP) is supported.

How to switch the display using the LED DISPLAY CHANGE BUTTON

Using “LED DISPLAY CHANGE BUTTON” on the front panel, you can switch the following operations: indication of a connection status with a connected terminal (Status mode), indication of communication speed at 1000 Mbps (GIGA mode), indication of communication speed at 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps (Speed mode), indication of transmission mode of full-duplex or half-duplex (DUPLEX mode), indication of a port having a history of loop occurrence (Loop History mode), or turning off LEDs of all ports (ECO mode).

Two Base modes and other modes

Mode at booting is called as Base mode. There are two types of Base modes, which are Status mode (default setting at shipment) and ECO mode.

To switch the Base mode, keep pressing “LED DISPLAY CHANGE BUTTON” for 3 seconds or more.
When switching is done successfully, 5 LEDs of STATUS/ECO LED, GIGA LED, 100M LED, and FULL LED are lighted once at the same time, they turned off, and then it enters a Base mode. After switching to PoE mode, GIGA mode, Speed mode, DUPLEX mode, or Loop History mode, and “LED DISPLAY CHANGE BUTTON” is not used for 1 minute, it automatically returns to Base mode (Status mode or ECO mode). Base mode is held even if power supply was turned OFF.

Switch two types of Base modes and their LEDs in the following way:
When Base mode is Status mode (factory default setting)

Note: The base mode is maintained even when the power is turned OFF. LED lamps for each mode and LED lamps for ports 1 to 9 correspond as shown in Table 1 (see page 10).

About Loop detection

Turns on the port LED with a orange light when a loop occurs in the corresponding port. At this time, the relevant port automatically shuts down (default setting: 60 sec.) to prevent loop from occurring. If the loop is still not removed, the port will shut down again. Remove the loop while the port is shut down.

During loop is occurring, or if loop has occurred within the latest 3 days, LOOP HISTORY LED blinks to notify this. It is possible to switch loop detection setting (OFF/ON) by using a console cable (for detail, see the PDF version of the Operating Instructions) or by pressing “LED DISPLAY CHANGE BUTTON” for 10 seconds or more. (The default setting is ON.) When it is switched successfully, LOOP HISTORY LED lights up and setting is complete.
If you wish to clear loop detection history, turn OFF once the power supply of the Switching Hub and turn it ON again. Then, loop detection history is deleted. The Switching Hub can hold up to 64 loop history logs.

Installation and Configuration

Troubleshooting

If you find any problem, please take the following steps to check.

LED

The POWER LED (Power) is not lit.

• Check if the power cord is disconnected. Please confirm that the power cord is securely connected to the power port.
• Is the Switching Hub operated at temperature in the range from 0 to 50°C?
  Ensure that the operating temperature is within the specified range.
  The use of this Switching Hub outside the operating ambient temperature range causes the protective device to trip, stopping the PoE power supply

The Port LED is not lit in Status mode.

• Is the cable correctly connected to the target port?
• Is the cable appropriate to use?
• Is the terminal connected to the relevant port conforming with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T standard?
• Auto-negotiation may have failed.
• Check the port settings of this Switching Hub or the terminal settings.
• Did you select a correct Port LED display mode using the LED DISPLAY CHANGE BUTTON?

The Port LED (Right) lights in orange.

• Loop is occurring. By removing the loop, orange LED will be turned off.

LOOP HISTORY LED Blinks in green.

• This is to notify that there is a port in which a loop is occurring, or has been removed within 3 days.

Communications are slow

• Are the communication speed and mode settings correct?
  If the communication mode setting is incorrect, the operation may be being performed in the half-duplex mode.
  Please reconfirm autonegotiation setting.
  Do not set the connected equipment to forced full-duplex.

• Is not the utilization ratio of the network to which this Switching Hub is connected too high?
  Try separating this Switching Hub from the network.

Communications fail

• Is the link-up correct?
  When the Power Saving Mode (power saving mode of the MNO series) or EEE (IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet function) is enabled, some connected terminals may not be correctly linked. Change the setting as follows.
  1. Change the Power Saving Mode setting to Disabled.
  2. Change the EEE (IEEE 802.3az) setting to Disabled.

• Is the Port LED (right) lit in orange?
  If the Port LED (right) lit in orange, the port is shut down by the loop detection function. Eliminate the loop connection of the device connected to the port first, and then wait longer than the time required for automatic recovery from the shutdown by the loop detection function, or release the port shutdown from the setting screen.

*  For configuration and management method, please see the PDF version of the Operating Instructions on Panasonic’s website.
