Hardware Installation

Before starting to configure the switch, you have to connect your devices correctly.

3.1Network Connection

For Non-PoE device and PoE device

  • Use a Cat. 5e twisted-pair cable to connect a PoE device to the port (1~24) of this switch.
  • The switch will supply power to PoE Device over the twisted-pair cable.
  • Please note that Power Device must comply with IEEE 802.3af/at.
  • Other PCs, servers and network devices can be connected to the switch using a standard ‘straight through’ twisted pair cable.
    Here, we take Vigor Switch P1282 as an example.

For Non-PoE device only

  • Use the Ethernet cable(s) to connect Non-PoE devices to the Vigor switch.
  • All device ports are in the same local area network.

3.2 Rack-Mounted Installation

The switch can be installed easily by using rack mount kit.

  1. Fasten the rack mount kit on both sides of the Vigor Switch using specific screws.
  2. Then, install the Vigor Switch (with rack mount kit) on the 19-inch chassis by using other four screws. Here, we take Vigor Switch P1282 as an example.

Software Configuration

In this section, we take Vigor Switch P1282 as an example:

Before using the switch, perform the following steps:

  1. Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC by a qualified UTP Cat. 5e cable with RJ-45 connector.
    If a PC directly connects to the switch, you have to setup the same subnet mask for PC and the switch. Default values of the managed switch are listed as follows:IP Address| 192.168.1.224
    ---|---
    Subnet Mask| 255.255.255.0
    DHCP Client| Enabled (On)
    Username| admin
    Password| admin
  2. After configuring correct IP address on your PC, open your web browser and access switch’s IP address.
