User's Manual 9 Manageable Gigabit Switch External SNMP-based network management application The switch can also be configured via SNMP. 10 User's Manual Manageable Gigabit Switch Installation This chapter gives step-by-step instructions about how to install the switch: Selecting a Site for the Switch As with any electric device, you should place the switch where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements: The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius). The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing. Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength. Make sure that the switch receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the switch or the fan exhaust port on the rear of the switch. The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the switch. - - User's Manual 11 Manageable Gigabit Switch Connecting to Power Step 1: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of the switch, and then plug it into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 240 Vac. Step 2: switch. Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the Rear view 12 User's Manual Manageable Gigabit Switch Connecting to Your Network Cable Type & Length It is necessary to follow the cable specifications below when connecting the switch to your network. Use appropriate cables that meet your speed and cabling requirements. Cable Specifications User's Manual 13 Manageable Gigabit Switch Speed Connector Port Speed Half/Full Duplex Cable Max.

Always ensure that the power is off before any installation. Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use. To connect two regular RJ-45 ports between switches or hubs, you need a cross-over cable. Step 3: Consult Cable Specifications Table on previous page for cabling requirements based on connectors and speed. Step 4: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a desired device. Step 5: Once the connections between two end devices are made successfully, turn on the power and the switch is operational. User's Manual 15 Manageable Gigabit Switch Switch Management This chapter explains the methods that you can use to configure management access to the switch. It describes the types of management applications and the communication and management protocols that deliver data between your management device (workstation or personal computer) and the system. It also contains information about port connection options. This chapter covers the following topics: · · · · · · · Management Access Overview Key Concepts Key Guidelines for Implementation Administration Console Access Web Management Access SNMP Access Standards, Protocols, and Related Reading Management Access Overview The switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage the switch using any or all of the following methods. The administration console and web browser interface support are embedded in the switch software and are available for immediate use. 16 User's Manual Manageable Gigabit Switch Administration Console The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, menudriven user interface for performing system administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the switch's console port. There are two ways to use this management method: direct access or modem access. The following sections describe these methods. Direct Access Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the switch console port. When using the management method, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters (you can change these settings after login): [DEFAULT PARAMETERS] 115,200bps 8 data bits No parity 1 stop bit This management method is often preferred because you can remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any terminal-emul ...
