The ComNet™CWGE26FX2TX24MSPOE is an extended temperature commercial
grade Managed Ethernet Switch. It provides IEEE 802.3at PoE to twenty-four
10/100/1000BASE-T(X) two of which are also gigabit combo ports supporting
100/1000FX SFP Modules. A further two 100/1000FX SFP ports are also included.
Up to 400 watts of PoE power is available for distribution across all 24 electrical
ports. All SFP ports utilize ComNet SFPs for fiber and connector type and distance.
The CWGE26FX2TX24MSPOE is a redundant switch offering multiple Ethernet
redundancy protocols to protect your applications from network interruptions or
temporary malfunctions by redirecting transmission within the network.

SFP
The Switch has fiber optical ports with SFP connectors. The fiber optical ports are in multi-mode
(0 to 550M, 850 nm with 50/125 µm, 62.5/125 µm fiber) and single-mode with LC connector. Please
remember that the TX port of Switch A should be connected to the RX port of Switch B.
Switch A Switch B
Console Cable
CWGE26FX2TX24MSPOE Series switches can be managed via a console port located on the front
of the switch. The DB-9 cable can be found in the package. You can connect them to PC via a
RS-232 cable with DB-9 female connector and the other end (DB-9 male connector) connects to
console port of switch.

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 introduces the configuration by Web browser.
About Web-based Management
An embedded HTML web site resides in 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 is based on 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 intentionally modify the browser setting in order to enable Java Applets to use network
ports.
