Chapter 3: Connecting the Switch
Overview
This chapter will explain how to connect network devices to the Switch. For an example of a typical network
configuration, see the application diagram shown below.
When you connect your network devices, make sure you don’t exceed the maximum cabling distances, which are
listed in the following table:

Chapter 3: Connecting the Switch
Before You Install the Switch...
24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE
*A hub refers to any type of 100Mbps hub, including regular hubs and stackable hubs. A 10Mbps hub connected
to another 10Mbps hub can span up to 100 meters (328 feet).
Before You Install the Switch...
When you choose a location for the Switch, observe the following guidelines:
•
Make sure that the Switch will be accessible and that the cables can be easily connected.
•
Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
•
Position the Switch away from water and moisture sources.
•
To ensure adequate air flow around the Switch, be sure to provide a minimum clearance of two inches
(50 mm).
•
Do not stack free-standing Switches more than four units high.

Placement Options
24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE
Placement Options
Before connecting cables to the Switch, first you will physically install the Switch. Either set the Switch on its four
rubber feet for desktop placement or mount the Switch in a standard-sized, 19-inch wide, 1U high rack for rack-
mount placement.
Desktop Placement
1.
Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch.
2.
Place the Switch on a desktop near an AC power source.
3.
Keep enough ventilation space for the Switch and check the environmental restrictions mentioned in the
specifications.
4.
Proceed to the section, “Connecting the Switch.”
Rack-Mount Placement
To mount the Switch in any standard-sized, 19-inch wide, 1U high rack, follow these instructions:
1.
Place the Switch on a hard flat surface with the front panel facing you.
2.
Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the Switch with the supplied screws. Then attach the other
bracket to the other side.
3.
Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the Switch.
4.
Use the appropriate screws (not included) to securely attach the brackets to your rack.
5.
Proceed to the section, “Connecting the Switch.”
Connecting the Switch
To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these instructions:
1.
Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch are powered off.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you use the screws
supplied with the mounting brackets. Using the
wrong screws could damage the Switch and would
invalidate your warranty.

Chapter 3: Connecting the Switch
Uplinking the Switch
24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE
2.
For 10/100Mbps devices, connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the
Switch. For a 1000Mbps device, connect a Category 5e Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports
on the Switch.
3.
Connect the other end to a PC or other network device.
4.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices. If pre-standard or 802.3af-compliant PoE devices are
connected to the Switch’s 10/100/1000 ports, the Switch automatically supplies the required power.
5.
If you are using a miniGBIC port, then connect a miniGBIC module to a miniGBIC port. For detailed instructions,
refer to the module’s documentation.
6.
If you will use the Switch’s console interface to configure the Switch, then connect the supplied serial cable
to the Switch’s Console port, and tighten the captive retaining screws. Connect the other end to your PC’s
serial port. (This PC must be running a VT100 terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal.)
7.
Connect the supplied power cord to the Switch’s power port, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
8.
Power on the network devices connected to the Switch. Each active port’s corresponding Link/Act LED will
light up on the Switch.
Uplinking the Switch
To uplink the Switch, connect one end of a Category 5 (or better) Ethernet network cable into one of the 24 gigabit
ports, and then connect the other end of the cable into the peripheral device’s uplink port. MDI/MDIX will
automatically detect the speed and cable type.
If you will use the Switch’s console interface to configure the Switch, proceed to
Chapter 4: Using the
Console Interface for Configuration
for directions.
If you will use the Switch’s Web-based Utility to configure the Switch, proceed to
Chapter 5: Using the
Web-based Utility for Configuration
.
NOTE:
If you need to reset the Switch, unplug the
power cord from the back of the Switch. Wait a
few seconds and then reconnect it.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you use the power cord that is supplied with the Switch. Use of a
different power cord could damage the Switch.

Overview
24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE
Chapter 4: Using the Console Interface for Configuration
Overview
The Switch features a menu-driven console interface for basic configuration of the Switch and management of
your network. The Switch can be configured using CLI through the console interface or through a telnet
connection. This chapter describes console interface configuration. Configuration can also be performed through
the web utility, which is covered in the next chapter.
Configuring the HyperTerminal Application
Before you use the console interface, you will need to configure the HyperTerminal application on your PC.
1.
Click the
Start
button. Select
Programs
and choose
Accessories
. Select
Communications
. Select
HyperTerminal
from the options listed in this menu.
2.
On the
Connection Description
screen, enter a name for this connection. In the example, the name of
connection is SRW2048P. Select an icon for the application. Then, click the
OK
button.
3.
On the
Connect To
screen, select a port to communicate with the Switch:
COM1
,
COM2
, or
TCP/IP
