MICROSENS 28-Port 10G L2-L3 Switch 19 Inch PoE Fanless

Overview and Aim of this Quick Start Guide

The fanless 28-Port 10G L2/L3 Switch from MICROSENS provides twenty-four Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and four 10G SFP uplink ports. All downlink RJ-45 Ethernet ports support Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+) and deliver up to 30W power per port.

The switch has extensive Layer 2 and 3 management functions, such as VLANs, IGMP Snooping, QoS, RSTP,
PROFI Ring or Layer 3 routing. It can be easily managed via a WEB GUI (http/https), CLI (telnet/ssh/console) or SNMP.

Note:
For comprehensive information about configuring the device please refer to the following documents:

  • Web manual: describes Web network management system configuration instructions.
  • CLI manual: describes CLI-based configuration instructions

1. Safety Information

Before performing an operation, read the following operation instructions and precautions to be taken, and follow
them to prevent accidents.

1.1 General Requirements

  • Only qualified and skilled personnel must install, configure, and unmount the device. The device must not
    be disassembled.

  • When operating the device, obey the local safety regulations. The safety precautions provided in the
    document are supplementary and shall be in compliance with the local safety regulations.

  • When operating the device, in addition to the precautions (please see the notes below), follow the specific
    safety instructions.

  • The installation and maintenance personnel need to understand the basic safety precautions to be taken.

  • Do not block the ventilation while the device is running. Keep a minimum distance of 5 cm from the
    ventilation to the walls or the other objects that block the ventilation.

  • Do not operate the device in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of
    50°C.

  • Do not place the device in the environment that has inflammable and explosive air or fog. Do not perform
    any operation in this environment.

1.2 Electric Safety

  • During the installation of the AC power supply facility, follow the local safety regulations. The personnel
    who install the AC facility must be qualified to perform high voltage and AC operations.

  • Before touching the device or hand-operating parts, wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist
    strap. It can prevent the sensitive components from damage by the static electricity in the human body.

1.3 Optical Safety

  • When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look at the optical fiber outlet directly with unaided
    eyes.

  • Cutting and splicing fibers must be performed by the trained personnel only.

  • Before cutting or splicing a fiber, ensure the fiber is disconnected from the optical source. After disconnecting the fiber, use protecting caps to protect all the optical connectors.

3 Mounting the Device

This device supports two installation methods:

  • Rack mounted installation
  • Desktop installation

Note:
All necessary mounting parts are provided with the enclosed mounting accessory set.

3.1 Rack Mounted Installation
Please follow the steps below:

  1. Fix the provided rack mounted hangers to the left and right side of the device using 4 screws each. Use
    the four holes on the left and right side of the device.

  2. Install the device to the rack.

Keep the following points in mind:

  • Make sure not to pinch existing cables!
  • Keep a distance of at least 5 cm to nearby devices to provide ventilation and to avoid overheating.
  • Position the device the way that connected cables will not cause mechanical tension on the device or its
    attachment.

3.2 Desktop Installation
Please follow the steps below:

  1. Carefully put the device upside down, clean the grooves on the chassis backplane with soft cloth to make
    sure there is no oil or dust in it.

  2. Remove the stickers on the foot pad, paste the foot pad on the four corners of the bottom of the switch.

  3. Carefully put the device upright on the workbench.

4. Connecting the Power Supply

Note:
Ground the switch housing with the grounding screw on the side of the housing (s.

Fig. 1, (2)! Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it at the end.

Use one end of PGND cable to connect the M4 grounding connector of the switch, the other end to a ground point. The PGND of the switch is shorted to the copper protection ground bar provided by the user. The PGND cable used should be an alternating yellow and green plastic insulating one with copper core, with cross-sectional area greater than2.5 mm2.

The figure below takes rack-mounted installation as example.

Fig. 2: Grounding

The switch is powered by a 100…240 VDC power connection (s.

Fig. 1, (1)

4.1 100…240 VAC Supply
