Introduction
Connect Tech’s Xtreme/GbE Managed Carrier Ethernet Switch provides Carrier Grade Ethernet switching
capabilities in an extremely small embedded form factor.
Excellent for high-end applications such as Mobile and Microwave backhaul, the Xtreme/GbE Managed
Carrier Ethernet Switch is also a highly reliable way to communicate with 10/100/1000 devices in an
embedded system. Powered by the latest generation Carrier Ethernet Switch engine, the Vitesse VSC7428.
Its embedded 416 MHz MIPS 32-bit CPU, 1Gb DDR2 external memory and DMA-based frame extraction
and insertion supports timing over packet, Ethernet OAM, and performance monitoring.
Available in models with RJ-45 or Rugged Positive Locking Headers, which makes this embedded Ethernet
switch ideal for any type of environment.
ESD Warning
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any circuit
board assemblies including Connect Tech COM Express
carrier assemblies, it is recommended that ESD safety
precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include, but
are not limited to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging
until they are ready to be installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit
boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded
metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be
present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which
may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist strap
stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact
with components.

Advanced Management Interface
The management interface for the Xtreme/GbE can be accessed through a Command Line Interface via
COM Port or through a web GUI interface.
CLI Management via the PCIe/104 Bus
The XDG006 and XDG009 models of the Xtreme/GbE product connects to the CLI management interface
via the PCIe/104 bus. This serial port is generated from on-board PCIe UART the Exar 17V352. Ensure
Jumper J1 position D is ON if you want to access the CLI via the PCIe/104 bus.
Software Support for the PCI Express UART
Additional drivers will be needed to properly operate the additional serial port.
Drivers for this functionality can be found on Exar’s website here:
http://www.exar.com/connectivity/uart-and-bridging-solutions/pcie-uarts/xr17v352
CLI Management via the External Serial Port
All models of the Xtreme/GbE product have an external serial port connector which is used to access the
CLI management interface. Ensure Jumper J1 position D is OFF if you want to access the CLI via the
External Serial Port.
CLI Management Details
To use the command line interface on the Xtreme/GbE must connect to the RS-232 external management
serial port or through the PCIe/104 bus. You must open the serial port in a terminal program such as:
RealTerm, Putty, HyperTerminal, minicom, etc. The COM port must be set up to run with a baud rate of
115200, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
Once opening the COM port attached to the management port, after boot up your terminal output should
look like the output below. The default login is admin and password is blank(“”). So after typing
admin hit <ENTER> then hit <ENTER> again to login and “?” will display a list of the available
commands.
See the example output of the bootup and login process on the next page:

The show command will be where you can view all status and current configuration settings of the
Xtreme/GbE. Type show ? for details on what can be viewed. Some examples of using show would be:
show ip interface brief
show interface GigabitEthernet 1/1-8 status
configure terminal
The confirgure terminal command will give you access to change the complete configuration
settings of the switch. Type configure terminal <ENTER> and then type ?for details on what can

Web GUI Management Interface
Accessing the Web GUI
There are two ways to access the web interface for first time use.
Method #1 - Using the default shipping IP
This method DOES NOT require having access to the CLI interface. By default the Xtreme/GbE will have
an IP address of 192.168.42.1, if you would like to connect to this address follow the steps below:
-Directly connect any port of Xtreme/GbE to your host PC using a standard Cat5e ethernet cable
-Setup your host PC’s IP address to be on the same subnet as Xtreme/GbE (192.168.42.X)
-Open a web browser and go to the 192.168.42.1 address.
-Now you should see the login screen and from here you can setup the Xtreme/GbE to an IP
address on your network.
Method #2 –Changing the Xtreme/GbE IP to one on your network via the CLI
This method requires having access to the CLI interface through means of the external management serial
port or the PCIe/104 bus
-Login to the CLI interface
-Type in the following commands
oconfigure terminal
ointerface vlan 1
oip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.0
oend
-Now connect Xtreme/GbE to any place on your network.
-Once the system is up simply go to your specified address of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in a web browser of
your choice and you will see the login screen for the web interface
Login Screen of Web Management Interface
To login into the web management interface, the default login is admin and the password is blank.
