Chapter 1 Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Web-Managed Switch SXP2226WM is a 24-Port Dual Speed Web-Managed
Switch supporting Full/Half Duplex Transmission and N-Way Auto-Negotiation. It
has two fixed additional copper gigabit ports to allow high performance switching and
is designed with Full Bandwidth Non-Blocking switching architecture of Ethernet
frames. SXP2226WM is designed with advanced features such as Virtual LAN
capability, Port Trunking functionality as well as Force Mode ability. These advanced
features can be easily configured via a web-based management interface. In addition,
the web-based management interface allows the aging control of the Media Access
Control (MAC) table as well as performing Host Search based on Internet Protocol
(IP) or MAC addresses. This controllability coupled with the gigabit ports allows
SXP2226WM to improve the network performance.
1.2 Features and Benefits
Compex SXP2226WM is designed with the following features:
• Industry-leading Tri-Speed Copper Gigabit Ethernet
Integrated with a 24-port 10/100Mbps plus 2-port 1000Mbps Fast Ethernet
Switch, Compex SXP2226WM provides an immediate solution for users on
private LAN switching. With the auto-crossover mechanism, hubs or switches
can be cascaded to Compex SXP2226WM easily to support more users.
• Web-based Management
Compex SXP2226WM is embedded with a HTTP server, facilitating a simple
configuration process with a user-friendly web-based interface. Simply connect
Compex SXP2226WM to a workstation and configure the switch for your
network via a Java-enabled web browser.
Through the management interface, you can also change the transmission mode
of all ports on Compex SXP2226WM switch. This means that you can change
the operating mode of any port to 10 Base-T half duplex, 10 Base-T full duplex,
100 Base-TX half duplex, 100 Base-TX full duplex or N-way Auto-negotiation
at any time.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
2
• Virtual LAN (VLAN)
Compex SXP2226WM can support up to 24 port-based VLANs and static
configuration of 802.1Q VLAN. It allows network administrator to separate the
network into a few segments by defining which port belong to which VLAN
segment. This can effectively control broadcast and multi-cast packet flooding
the network. This not only improves the network performance, but also provides
security between workgroups.
• Port Mirroring
This function allows you to set up a ‘mirror’ port on any specified port/s or
VLAN, such that you can monitor the traffics of the monitored port/s or VLAN
without intervening them. In effect, the traffics on the monitored port/s or VLAN
are replicated on the mirror port, such that you can use a protocol analyzer to
analyze the traffic for specific problem.
• 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T N-Way Auto-Negotiation
In Compex SXP2226WM, all ports use the N-Way Auto-Negotiation mechanism
to detect the speed of the attached network adapter. This feature gives users the
freedom and convenience of connecting the switch to a 10Base-T, 100Base-TX
or 1000Base-T network without further manual configuration and setup.
• 10/100/1000 Mbps Switching function
A cost-effective 1000Mbps, 100Mbps and 10Mbps switching function in a single
unit. Compex SXP2226WM divides a network into smaller shared groups,
eliminating unnecessary traffic, multiplying available bandwidth, and relieving
congestion on server paths.
• 10/100/1000 Mbps Integration
24 high-speed ports permit Ethernet workgroups to communicate with Fast
Ethernet users in a single integrated network, and share servers connected to the
dedicated 1000Mbps ports. Port expansion is easy by connecting several
switches and hubs together through uplink port.

• Linking Up 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Technology
One-time migration from 10Base-T to 100Base-TX technology can be very
costly. Compex SXP2226WM addresses this problem by allowing existing
10Base-T networks to communicate with 100Base-TX networks. Performance
does not degrade as each 10Base-T/100Base-TX segment continues to operate at
its own speed. Enterprise networks can thus be progressively upgraded and older
segments gradually phased out without sacrificing interconnectivity or
performance.

Chapter 3 Hardware Installation
Compex SXP2226WM can be installed as a desktop unit or mounted on a 19-inch rack. There
are two types of installation for Compex SXP2226WM, one is to connect your PC directly to
the management port. Alternatively, you can configure by linking the management port to one
of the LAN ports and configure the switch through one of the ports. Detailed installation
process will be listed as shown below.
3.1 Physical Setup for Compex SXP2226WM
Method #1 – Directly connected to the Management Port
Compex SXP2226WM is ideal for office usage, which can either be installed on a flat
surface (desktop) or mounted on a 19-inch rack. The following steps illustrate a
proper installation of Compex SXP2226WM.
Figure 3.1a Physical Setup for Compex SXP2226WM
3.1.1 Desktop installation
1. Unpack Compex SXP2226WM.
2. Place it near to a power outlet. Ensure that there is sufficient space for
heat ventilation.
3. The surface to place Compex SXP2226WM should be clean, smooth,
