Quick Start Guide
Commissioning the Ruggedized 19’’ Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 10G Uplink Ports

Aim of this Quick Start Guide

This quick start guide describes the commissioning of the switch (mechanical handling) incl. connecting power supply and network link, resetting to factory settings and activating the network management access.
For further documentation see the reference manual and the MICROSENS homepage under www.microsens.com.
This guide will help you with

• connecting the power supply and commissioning the device,
• understanding the status LEDs and
• setting up the network management access.

Note:
For comprehensive information about configuring the device please refer to the reference manual.
WARNING:
This equipment is compliant with Class A of EN55032. In a residential environment this equipment may cause radio interference!

Connecting the Power Supply

Note:
Ground the switch housing with the grounding screw on the front of the housing (s. Fig. 1,

The switch is powered by a 24…57 VDC power connection (s. Fig. 1, ). For redundancy or load sharing reasons it is possible to connect a second power source using the same voltage (s. Fig. 1,). If one source fails, the alternative source takes over the power supply without interruption.
If the switch is used to power further equipment (role “Power Sourcing Equipment – PSE”), it requires a minimum
input voltage:

24…57 VDC Supply

The connectors are labelled “Power 1” and “Power 2” (s. Fig. 1, and ) and are equipped with 2-pin plug connectors. Please observe the polarity (terminal labelling +/-).

Starting Up

After connection to the power supply, the switch starts automatically and is ready for operation after approx. 90 s. Connect the switch to your local network segment using a suitable connector cable.

Factory Settings

Note:
Please note that the factory settings may change with future firmware versions (s. section 8). For this reason we recommend that you check the release notes for information about any changes to the factory settings before carrying out a firmware update.
The switch starts with its factory settings:

• Interfaces:
  • RS232: Enabled
  • SSH: Disabled
  • Telnet: Disabled
  • SNMP: Disabled
  • Web Manager: Enabled
• User level: as per “Preset User Level for Management Access” (s. section 4)
• IP configuration: DHCP for VLAN 1, no preset IP
• Ethernet RJ-45 ports: Ports 1…24: 10/100/1000Base-T operation enabled in VLAN 1
• PoE+ function: Ports 1…24: enabled
• SFP ports: Ports 1…4: SFP inserted:             1000Base-X operation

SFP+ inserted:           10GBase-X operation

Preset User Level for Management Access

The following user level (role with specific access rights) is preset:

User              Password             Access Comments

admin           admin                  Full access rights This user can adjust all settings of the switch.

Notifications

Status LEDs (s. Fig. 1,

• “Power 1/2”
  • Off – Switch
  • Green – Power supply 1/2
  • Red blinking – Power supply 1/2 missing or

Note:

“Power 1/2” is signalled “Red” only, if at least one power supply is connected to either “Power 1” or “Power 2” and functional.

• “Status”
  • Off ‒ Direct after power on (i.e. the operation system is not loaded yet)
  • Green – As soon as the operation system is initialised and
• “Alarm”
  • Off – Ring domain 0 not
  • Green – Ring domain 0 enabled, role “Transit (Slave)” detected, no
  • Red – Ring domain 0 enabled, role “Transit (Slave)” detected, error
  • Green blinking – Ring domain 0 enabled, role “Master” detected, no
  • Red blinking – Ring domain 0 enabled, role “Master” detected, error

Port Status LEDs

• Ethernet (10/100Base-TX, s. 1, )
  • lnk (Link)
  • Off ‒ Link down, no
  • Green ‒ Link up
  • Green blinking ‒ Port sending or receiving
  • PoE (Power-over-Ethernet, PSE)
  • Off – PoE (role “PSE”)
  • Orange – PoE or PoE+ enabled, port supplying power (role “PSE” active)

SFP/SFP+ (1000/10GBase-X, s. Fig. 1, )

• lnk (Link)
  • Off ‒ Link down, no
  • Green ‒ Link up

Green blinking              ‒ Port sending or receiving data.

Reset Button

On the front of the housing there is a reset button (s. Fig. 1, ), which is accessible with a thin object.  Depending on the duratioan, pressing this button leads to one of the following actions when released:

• 1 s – Restarts the switch.

The running configuration (switch and management) remains unchanged. The reboot takes approx. 90 s.

• longer than 10 s – Switch is resetting on factory defaults and renews the SSH default keys as well as self-signed

The reboot is extended by approx. 2 minutes.

Note:
Additionally, status messages are issued via the serial port.

Access for Network Management

IP Address Assignment

In order for management over the network to function, the switch requires valid IP parameters (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway). These are obtained automatically via DHCP (factory-setting, s. section 3). If you do not use DHCP in your network, you can setup the IP parameters via serial port access.
Note:
Via serial port access it is possible to setup additional management interfaces (Telnet, SSH, SNMP etc.). For further information please refer to section 7.3 or the reference manual.

Serial Interface

1. Connect your computer via console cable to the serial port of the switch (s. Fig. 1,

2. Open a console program and setup the following connection parameters:

   • Speed: 115200 bit/s
   • Data bits: 8
   • Stop bits: 1
   • Parity bit: none
   • Flow control: none

3. Enter the credentials of the preset user (username: admin, password: admin, s. section 4) and click the button “Enter”.

4. Using the following console commands will setup the IP parameters for interface “VLAN 1”:
   console#configure terminal
   console(config)#interface vlan 1
   console(config-if)#ip default-gateway
   console(config-if)#ip address
   console(config-if)#exit
   console(config)#exit
   console#
   Note:
   The assignment of a static IP address disables the DHCP client for the respective interface (here: VLAN 1).

5. To ensure the static IP address remains valid after reboot, you have to save it with the console command write memory.

6. Leave the console session with the command exit.

Activation of Additional Management Interfaces

Telnet

To enable the Telnet interface, open a console session and enter the following commands:
console#configure terminal
console(config)#ip telnet server
console(config)#exit

Afterwards the Telnet login with the preset user credentials (s. section 4) is possible.

SSH

To enable the SSH interface, open a console session and enter the following commands:
console#configure terminal
console(config)#ip ssh server
console(config)#ip ssh password-auth
console(config)#exit
Afterwards the SSH login with the preset user credentials (s. section 4) is possible.

SNMP

To enable the SNMPv1/v2c Interface with standard community strings “public” (read only) and “private” (read/write), open a console session and enter the following commands:
console#configure terminal
console(config)#snmp-server server
console(config)#snmp-server community public ro
console(config)#snmp-server community private rw
console(config)#exit

Note:
For information about enabling SNMPv3 please refer to the reference manual.

 Web Manager

As soon as the switch obtains an IP address via DHCP, the access via Web Manager is possible. Enter the URL
(incl. the assigned IP address) into your internet browser’s address bar:
For access via HTTPS:              https://
Before accessing the Web Manager your internet browser possibly may ask you to confirm security warnings due to a self-signed security certificate. Please confirm the respective security exception rule.
For access via HTTP:              http://
Note:
The Web Manager only allows restricted access to system parameters. Use the management access via Telnet, SSH or serial port for full management access.
