II Installation
This chapter describes how to install and connect your Edimax Switch. Read the following
topics and perform the procedures in the correct order. Incorrect installation may cause
damage to the product.
II-1 Mounting the Switch
There are two ways to physically set up the switch.
Place the switch on a flat surface. To place the switch on a desktop, install the four
rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch.
Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).
II-1-1 Placement Tips
Ambient Temperature —To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it
in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 122°F (50°C).
Air Flow —Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the switch.
Mechanical Loading —Be sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid any
hazardous conditions.
Circuit Overloading —Adding the switch to the power outlet must not overload that
circuit.
Follow these guidelines to install the switch securely.
Put the switch in a stable place such as a desktop, to avoid it falling.
Ensure the switch works in the proper AC input range and matches the voltage
labeled.
Ensure there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the
switch.
Ensure the switch’s location can support the weight of the switch and its accessories.
Figure 4 - Desktop Installation

II-1-2 Rack Mounting
You can mount the switch in any standard size, 19-inch (about 48 cm) wide rack. The
switch requires 1 rack unit (RU) of space, which is 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) high.
For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest devices on the
bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to be unstable and may tip over.
When mounting smaller switch products into a standard 19-inch rack, a pair of extension
brackets (sometimes referred to as ears) are needed to adapt the switch to the rack size.
These extension brackets are mounted on the switch using the screws provided in the kit,
and have two holes that are used to then screw the switch into the rack.
An example of one type of these extension brackets is shown in the following figure.
A common problem that occurs during rack mounting is the distance between the screw
holes on the rack. Some racks are made with a uniform distance between all of the holes,
and others have the holes organized into groups (see photo on the next page for an
example).
When organized into groups, the switch must be placed in the rack so that the holes in
the extension brackets line up correctly.
1. Align the mounting brackets with the mounting holes on the switch’s side panels
and secure the brackets with the screws provided.

III Getting Started
This section provides an introduction to the web-based configuration utility, and
covers the following topics:
Powering on the device
Connecting to the network
Power over Ethernet (PoE) considerations
Starting the web-based configuration utility
III-1 Power
III-1-1 Connecting to Power
Power down and disconnect the power cord before servicing or wiring a switch.
Do not disconnect modules or cabling unless the power is first switched off. The device
only supports the voltage outlined in the type plate. Do not use any other power
components except those specifically designated for the switch.
Disconnect the power cord before installation or cable wiring.
The switch is powered by the AC 100-240 V 50/60Hz internal high-performance power
supply. It is recommended to connect the switch with a single-phase three-wire power
source with a neutral outlet, or a multifunctional computer professional source.
Connect the AC power connector on the back panel of the switch to the external power
source with the included power cord, and check the power LED is on.
Figure 7 - Rear View AC Power Socket

8
III-1-2 Connecting to Network
To connect the switch to the network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet
ports of the switch. The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active.
3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device to connect to the switch.
We strongly recommend using CAT-5E or better cable to connect network devices. When
connecting network devices, do not exceed the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters
(328 feet). It can take up to one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational
after it is connected. This is normal behavior.
Connect the switch to end nodes using a standard Cat 5/5e Ethernet cable (UTP/STP) to
connect the switch to end nodes as shown in the illustration below.
Switch ports will automatically adjust to the characteristics (MDI/MDI-X, speed, duplex)
of the device to which the switch is connected.
Figure 8 - PC Connect

III-1-3 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Considerations
For PoE switch models, consider the following information:
Devices considered a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), can support up to 30 Watts per
PoE port to a Powered Device (PD).
Model
Power Dedicated to PoE
PoE Ports
PoE Standard Supported
ES-5424P
240W
1 to 24
IEEE802.3at/af
Ports 1-24 provide PoE power supply functionality with a maximum output power up to
30W each port. This can supply power to PDs such as internet phones, network cameras,
wireless access points. Connect the switch PoE port directly to the PD port using a
network cable.
When connecting switches capable of supplying PoE, consider the following information:
Switch models with PoE function are PSEs. These models are capable of supplying DC
power to attached PDs, such as VoIP phones, IP cameras, and wireless access points
(APs). PoE switches. Additionally, PoE switches are capable of detecting and
supplying power to pre-standard legacy PoE Power Devices. Due to the support for
legacy PoE, there is a possibility that PoE switches acting as a PSE may inadvertently
detect and supply power an attached PSE, including other PoE switches. This false
detection may result in a PoE switch operating improperly and unable to supply
power to attached PDs.
The prevention of a false detection can be easily remedied by disabling PoE on the
ports that are used to connect PSEs. Another simple practice to prevent a false
detection is to first power up a PSE device before connecting it to a PoE switch.
When a device is falsely detected as a PD, disconnect the device from the PoE port
and power recycle the device with AC power before reconnecting it to the PoE port.

10
III-1-4 Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility
This section describes how to navigate the web-based switch configuration utility.
Be sure to disable any pop-up blocker.
Browser Restrictions
If you are using older versions of Internet Explorer, you cannot directly use an IPv6
address to access the device. You can, however, use the DNS (Domain Name System)
server to create a domain name that contains the IPv6 address, and then use that
domain name in the address bar in place of the IPv6 address.
If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6 global
address instead of the IPv6 link local address to access the device from your browser.
Launching the Configuration Utility
To open the web-based configuration utility:
1. Open a Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the device you are configuring in the address bar on the
browser (factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1) and then press Enter.
When the device is using the factory default IP address, its power LED flashes
continuously. When the device is using a DHCP assigned IP address or an administrator-
configured static IP address, the power LED is lit a solid color. Your computer’s IP address
must be in the same subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch is using the factory
default IP address, your computer’s IP address can be in the following range: 192.168.2.x
(whereas x is a number from 2 to 254).
After a successful connection, the login window displays.
Figure 9 - Login Window

11
III-1-5 Logging In
The default username is admin and the default password is 1234. The first time that you
log in with the default username and password, you are required to enter a new
password.
To log in to the device configuration utility:
1. Enter the default user ID (admin) and the default password (admin).
2. If this is the first time that you logged on with the default user ID (admin) and the
default password (admin) it is recommended that you change your password
immediately. See “4.9.3. Administrator” for additional information.
When the login attempt is successful, the System Information window displays.

If you entered an incorrect username or password, an error message appears and the
Login page remains displayed on the window.
If you are having problems logging in, please see the Launching the Configuration Utility
section in the Administration Guide for additional information.
III-1-6 Logging Out
By default, the application logs out after ten minutes of inactivity.
To manually logout, click Logout in the top right corner of any page.
When a timeout occurs or you intentionally log out of the system, a message appears and
the Login page appears, with a message indicating the logged-out state. After you log in,
the application returns to the initial page.
