Preface
This manual describes how to install and use the 24-Port Web-
Smart Ethernet Switch. The TX ports of the switch introduced here
auto-negotiates the presence of 10/100Mbps and full/half-duplex
mode and auto-MDIX. In addition, it allows an optional 100Base-
FX multi-mode or single-mode fiber module, enabling long
distance connection.
To get the most out of this manual, you should have an
understanding of networking concepts such as bridging, IEEE
802.3 10Base-T Ethernet, IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX/FX Fast
Ethernet, and local area networks (LANs).
For more information about these topics, please refer to the
Appendices.
In this manual, you will find:
•Introduction on the Switch

Installation
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where
it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or
electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select
should meet the following requirements:
- The ambient temperature should be between 0 to 45 degrees
Celsius.
- The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent,
non-condensing.
- Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the
electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2
(3V/M) field strength.
- Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation.
Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the switch or
on the rear of the equipment.
-The power outlet should be within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the
switch.

Optional Fiber Module Installation
Consult the following illustrations before installation.
Step 1: Make sure the power is switched off. The module is not hot-
swappable.
LIt may cause electric shock or any possible damage to the switch if the
power is not switched off.
Step 2: Remove the module from the static-free container.
Step 3: Unscrew the cover plate of the expansion slot.
(The slot for single-port module is located at the right side of the
switch.)
Step 4: Remove the plate.
(Keep it for future use if you decide to remove this module later.)
Step 5: Carefully slide the module into the slot, following the internal
plastic guide rails.
Step 6: Once it is fully slid in, snap in the module to make a proper
connection.
Step 7: Fasten the module screws.
Step 8: Finally, turn on the power.

Connecting to Power
Locate the supplied AC power cord.
Step 1: Connect the AC power cord to the receptacle at the back of the
switch.
Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from
100~240VAC.
Step 3: The power LED on the front panel will then illuminate.

Connecting to Your Network
CABLING
Step 1: First, ensure the power of the switch (and end devices) is turned
off.
LIt may cause an electric shock or any possible harm to you if the
power is not switched off.
Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port
in use.
(Consult the table below for cabling requirements based on
connectors and speed considerations.)
Step 3: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a
desired device.
Step 4: Once the connections between two end devices are made
successfully, turn on the power and the switch is operational.

NETWORK SEGMENTATION
The maximum segment distance between a node and a directly
connected switch port on a 100Base-FX network is 100km using
10/125 (or 9/125) µm single-mode fiber optic cable. It is capable of
a maximum span of 2km when 62.5/125 (or 50/125) µm multi-
mode fiber optic cable is used.

Switch Configuration
Setting up Console Port Connection (Web-
Based Browser Interface)
The Ethernet Switch provides a browser interface that lets
you configure and manage the Ethernet Switch from a Web
browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator) remotely.
By connecting to the Ethernet Switch’s console port, you can
access the Ethernet Switch’s web interface applications
directly in your web browser by entering the default IP
address of the Ethernet Switch (192.168.1.10). You can then
use your web browser to list and manage the Ethernet Switch
configuration parameters from one central location.
Logging on to The Ethernet Switch
SWITCH IP ADDRESS
In your web browser, specify the default IP address of the
Ethernet Switch (192.168.1.10).
