CWGE24MS
COMMERCIAL GRADE MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH WITH (8)
100/1000BASE-FX & (16) GIGABIT COMBO PORTS
v1.4 January 5, 2016
The ComNet CWGE24MS has eight 100/1000Base-FX SFP ports and sixteen Gigabit
combo ports that allow for TX or FX transmission. All SFP ports utilize ComNet Small
Form Factor (SFP) pluggable modules for the selection of fiber and connector type and
distance. The IEEE802.3-compliant unit offers multiple Ethernet redundancy protocols
(ComRing, C-Ring, and MSTP/RSTP/STP) which protect your applications from network
interruptions or temporary malfunctions by redirecting transmission within the
network. The switch provides advanced IP-based management that can limit the
maximum bandwidth for each connected IP device, allowing the user to adjust
usage. Application-based QoS can set a higher priority for data streaming. The Device-
Binding function can prevent unauthorized network access, increasing security. The
unit also provides advanced DOS/DDOS auto prevention. If IP flow becomes too large,
too quickly, the switch will lock the source IP address for a set period preventing
unauthorized access. The switch offers centralized and convenient management and
is also configurable by Web-based Telnet, and Console (CLI) configurations.

Overview
Introduction
The CWGE24MS series are managed redundant ring Ethernet switches with 16xGigabit combo
ports and 8x100/1000Base-X SFP ports. With complete support of Ethernet Redundancy protocol,
C-Ring (recovery time <20ms over 250 units of connection) and MSTP/RSTP/STP (IEEE IEEE
802.1s/w/D) can protect your mission-critical applications from network interruptions or temporary
malfunctions with its fast recovery technology. ComNet switches provide advanced and IP-based
bandwidth management that can limit the maximum bandwidth for each IP device. The user can
configure IP camera and NVR with more bandwidth and limit other device bandwidth. ComNet’s
switch series also support application-based QoS. Application-based QoS can set highest priority
for data stream according to TCP/UDP port number. And all functions of CWGE24MS can also be
managed centralized and convenient by e-Console, as well as the Web-based interface, Telnet
and console (CLI) configuration. Therefore, the switch is one of the most reliable choice for highly-
managed and Gigabit Fiber Ethernet applications.

Attention: While installing and upgrading firmware, please remove physical loop connection first.
DO NOT power off equipment while the firmware is upgrading!
Configuration by Web Browser
This section provides instruction on configuration through the Web browser.
About Web-based Management
An embedded HTML web site resides in the flash memory on the CPU board. It contains
advanced management features and allows you to manage the switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management function supports Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. It utilizes Java
Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and
present an easy viewing screen.
Note: By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. You need to
explicitly modify the browser setting in order to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
Preparing for Web Management
The default value is as below:
