To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, please observe the following rules.

Safety Precautions

• Keep the power off during the installation.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap has a good skin contact and is well-grounded.
• Use only the power cord provided with the switch.
• Make sure that the supply voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rear panel of the switch.
• Ensure the vent hole is well ventilated and unblocked.
• Do not open or remove the cover of the switch.
• Before cleaning the device, cut off the power supply. Do not clean it with a waterish cloth, and never use any other liquid cleaning method.
• Place the device with its bottom surface downward.

Site Requirements
Temperature/Humidity

Please keep a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high/low humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes and corrosions. Too high temperature may accelerate the aging of the insulation materials and can thus significantly shorten the service life of the device. For normal temperature and humidity of the device, please check the following table.

Clearness

The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the device to prevent static electricity, but too strong static electricity can cause deadly damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board. To avoid the effect of static electricity on the operation of the switch, please attach much importance to the following items:

• Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
• Keep the device well-grounded and ensure static electricity has been transferred.

Electromagnetic Interference

Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, and impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, please make sure to take the following measures:

• Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
• Keep the device far from high-frequency, strong-current devices, such as radio transmitting stations.
• Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

Lightning Protection

Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the air I the electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000℃. As this instant current is strong enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be taken.

• Ensure the rack and device are well earthed.
• Make sure the power socket has good contact with the ground.
• Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.
• Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.

Note:

After the initialization is finished, you can access and manage the switch using the Web-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) or using the Configuration Utility.
Using the Web-Based GUI
To access and manage the switch using the Web-Based GUI, take the following steps:

Find the IP address of the switch.

• By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. You can find this IP address on the DHCP server.
• If the switch cannot receive an IP address from a DHCP server, it uses the static IP address of 192.168.0.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Configure IP address on your PC to make sure the switch and PC are in the same subnet.

• If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.
• If the switch uses the static IP address of 192.168.0.1, configure your PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.x (”x” ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.

Launch a web browser on your PC. Enter the IP address of the switch in the address bar and press Enter. Log in with admin as both user name and password.

Now you can configure the switch using the Web-based GUI. For further information, refer to the User Guide on the Resource CD. You can find the latest version of this guide on the official website:
