DC Inputs

LED	Input	Comment
V1 and V2	Nominal 48 V DC (37 ~ 57 VDC)

8A max

| One or both can be active, allowing redundant power supplies.
V3| 12 to 57 VDC

10A max.

| An alternative to V2. Wide voltage range suitable for unregulated solar panel input.

Alarm Connections
The alarm state is set based on both

the IN+/IN- physical connection and
a number of software selectable internal triggers. See the

Label	Connection
IN+/IN-	Monitoring of this input has these software selectable options:

· Close: No monitoring or action

· Low Level: Alarm is triggered if voltage below 5V, or IN+/IN- are shorted together.

· High Level: Alarm is triggered if voltage above 5V (max. 57V)

AL+/AL-| This is a relay connection. Options are:

· Close: Always Closed

· Normally Closed: Open if Alarmed

· Normally Open: Closed if Alarmed

· Impulse: Repeated:

Closed 1 sec, Open 1 sec

Other

Label	Connection
TMS	Temperature & Humidity sensor. Use the supplied sensor.

__

Use is optional, but can be used as Alarm inputs.

RET| To reset the Switch to factory defaults:

__

The Switch should be running after bootup is complete and the PWR LED blinking. Press and hold the Reset button until the PWR LED starts flashing rapidly. Release the Reset button.

Mounting Options

Use the built-in DIN rail, or Wall-mount options.

Configuration

This section covers some tasks that are not fully covered in the User Manual (see section Introduction, page13).

Accessing the Configuration Interface

There are two configuration options:

Graphical User Interface (GUI), using an Ethernet connection.
Command Line Interface (CLI), using a console cable.

Graphical User Interface
For full details, download this document: http://www.wireless- tek.com/Uploads/download/1583371174.pdf When in Factory Reset state, the Switch is set to use the default IP address of 192.168.0.1.

Make sure that your host system is connected via Ethernet to the Switch.
Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet. e. g. 192.168.0.10
Launch your web browser and type http://192.168.0.1 in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
The default credentials are:

Command Line Interface

For full details, download these documents:

https://ubwh.com.au/documents/WI-TEK_CLI.pdf
https://ubwh.com.au/documents/WI-TEK_CLI_POE.pdf (additional CLI commands for POE switches)

See an example session below, with many lines deleted for clarity.

Saving Current Configuration
Configuration changes are not permanent, unless saved.To preserve a configuration change to be used on the next boot-up, save the current configuration using the System Configuration / Save Current Configuration menu option.

DHCP IP Address
These instructions are to configure the device to obtain its network configuration (IP address, subnet mask, gateway address) from a DHCP server on the same LAN.After this has been done, consult the DHCP server’s list of leases to learn the IP address of the device.

Select the IP Basic Configuration / IP Address Configuration menu selection.
Set Line Item to Set DHCP Client to Enable
The Switch will now query the LAN DHCP server and move to a new IP address. Consult the DHCP server’s list of leases to learn the new IP address of the Switch.

Network Time Client Setup
By default the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client is disabled. To enable:

Select the System Configuration / SNMP Configuration menu selection.
Set Enable Status to Enable, Set the Time Zone Enter one or more of the Server IP addresses shown below. Click Apply
Select the System Configuration / Basic Information menu option You should see the correct time.
If the time is incorrect, that indicates the Switch is unable to connect to the Internet. Start by checking the IP Basic Configuration settings to check the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway are set correctly

AAA
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) features in the switch can be used as follows:

TACACS+: External authentication for switch management logins.
802.1x: External authentication for user network access.

8.5.1. TACACS+
The default behavior is that switch management interface logins are authenticated against the internal switch database, as configured in System Configuration / User Management. Alternatively, these logins can be authenticated against an external TACACS+ server.

WARNING:
When you enable & apply TACACS+ authentication, management login to the switch will ONLY use TACACS+. Only save the configuration after confirming you can still login.

Setup a TACACS+ server accessible by the switch. Shown below is a simple TACACS+ configuration file that will authenticate switch management logins with Username/Password credentials of admin/admin.
Select the AAA Configuration / Tacacs+ Configuration menu option and setup similar to as below and click Apply
In a new browser window, go to the URL of your switch and confirm you can still login. If OK: Then select the System Configuration / Save Current Configuration menu option and click Save. Otherwise: Resolve the TACACS+ problem

8.5.2. 802.1x (EAP)
The default switch behaviour can be changed such that devices (e.g. PCs)plugged into specified ports have no network connectivity until authorized

SNMP and MIBs
The Switch supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). TheManagement Information Base (MIB) definition files are available from: https://ubwh.com.au/documents/WiTek-MIBs.zip In addition, the Switch can send alerts to a TRAP server.

Shown below are some example screen captures from a Windows program called PowerSNMP Free Manager available from https://www.dart.com/pages/powersnmp- free-manager

Fast Ring Setup

This product supports Fast Ring technology, for applications where these requirements apply:

High availability (uptime) is critical
Healing (ring recovery) time less than 50 millisec.
Between 3 & 30 switches (inclusive)
Easy setup

To use Fast Ring:

Use Firmware version WI-PMS310GF-Alien-I 5.1.1 (or newer).
Use SFP ports (only) to link switches.
Fibre, Cat5e/Cat6, or both can be used between switches.
Enable Fast Ring mode using either of these methods

Firmware Update
Firmware updates are available from: http://www.wireless- tek.com/Support/download If there is no firmware there for your product, that means there have been no firmware updates.
