Installation

This chapter describes how to install and connect your Edimax Switch. Read the following topics and perform the procedures in the correct order. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the product.

Mounting the Switch

There are two ways to physically set up the switch

• Place the switch on a flat surface. To place the switch on a desktop, install the four rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch.
•  Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).

Placement Tips

•  Ambient Temperature — To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 122°F (50°C).
•  Air Flow — Be sure that there is adequate airflow around the switch.
• Mechanical Loading — Be sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions.
• Circuit Overloading — Adding the switch to the power outlet must not overload that circuit.

Follow these guidelines to install the switch securely.

•  Put the switch in a stable place such as a desktop, to avoid it falling.
•  Ensure the switch works in the proper AC input range and matches the voltage labeled.
• Ensure there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the switch.
•  Ensure the switch’s location can support the weight of the switch and its accessories.

Rack Mounting

You can mount the switch in any standard size, 19-inch (about 48 cm) wide rack. The switch requires 1 Rack Unit (1U) of space, which is 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) high.
For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to be unstable and may tip over.

When mounting smaller switch products into a standard 19-inch rack, a pair of extension brackets (sometimes referred to as ears) are needed to adapt the switch to the rack size.
These extension brackets are mounted on the switch using the screws provided in the kit and have two holes that are used to then screw the switch into the rack. An example of one type of these extension brackets is shown in the following figure.

A common problem that occurs during rack mounting is the distance between the screw holes on the rack. Some racks are made with a uniform distance between all of the holes, and others have the holes organized into groups (see photo on the next page for an example).
When organized into groups, the switch must be placed in the rack so that the holes in the extension brackets line up correctly.

1.   Align the mounting brackets with the mounting holes on the switch’s side panels and secure the brackets with the screws provided.
2. Secure the switch on the equipment rack with the screws provided.

Getting Started

This section provides an introduction to the web-based configuration utility, and
covers the following topics:

• Powering on the device
• Connecting to the network
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) considerations
• Starting the web-based configuration utility

Connecting to Power

Power down and disconnect the power cord before servicing or wiring a switch.Do not disconnect modules or cabling unless the power is first switched off. The device only supports the voltage outlined in the type plate. Do not use any other power components except those specifically designated for the switch. Disconnect the power cord before installation or cable wiring.

The switch is powered by the AC 100-240 V 50/60Hz internal high-performance power supply. It is recommended to connect the switch with a single-phase three-wire power source with a neutral outlet, or a multifunctional computer professional source. Connect the AC power connector on the back panel of the switch to the external power source with the included power cord, and check the power LED is on.

Connecting to Network

To connect the switch to the network:

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer
2.  .Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to Port 1-8 of the switch. The LED of the portlights if the device connected is active.
   Connect the switch to end nodes using a standard Cat5e Ethernet cable to connect the switch to end nodes as shown in the illustration below.
   Switch ports will automatically adjust to the characteristics (MDI/MDI-X, speed, duplex) of the device to which the switch is connected.
   

Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility

This section describes how to navigate the web-based switch configuration utility. Be sure to disable any pop-up blocker.

Browser Restrictions

•  If you are using older versions of Internet Explorer, you cannot directly use an IPv6 address to access the device. You can, however, use the DNS (Domain Name System) server to create a domain name that contains the IPv6 address, and then
• use that domain name in the address bar in place of the IPv6 address.
•  If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6 global address instead of the IPv6 link local address to access the device from your browser.

Launching the Configuration Utility

To open the web-based configuration utility:

1. Open a Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the device you are configuring in the address bar on the browser (factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1) and then press Enter.
3. The default username is “admin” and the default password is “1234”.
4. The first time that you log in with the default username and password, you are required to enter a new password.
