1 Unpacking
Unpack the items. Your package should include:
One EX17242 Web-Smart switch
One external power adapter
Rack-mounting hardware brackets
One CD containing this user’s guide
If items are missing or damaged, notify your
EtherWAN representative. Keep the carton and
packing material.
2 What Else You Need
Category 5 or better Ethernet cables
Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) laser
optical transceiver modules
Notebook PC with Ethernet (RJ-45) Interface
and installed Web browser
3 Select a Location
Desktop installations: Mount on a flat table
or shelf surface.
Rack installations: Use a 19-inch (48.3-
centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack
that is grounded and physically secure.
Identify a power source within 6 feet (1.8
meters).
Choose a dry area with ambient temperature
between 0 and 40ºC (32 and 104ºF).
Do not cover fans on the rear and side.
Keep away from heat sources, sunlight, warm
air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
Be sure there is adequate airflow.
Keep the switch at least 6 ft (1.83 m) away
from the nearest source of electromagnetic
noise, such as a photocopy machine.
4 Connect to the Data Ports
Twenty-Four 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ports
The switch is equipped with twenty-four 10/100
Mbps RJ-45 port that provide IEEE802.3at Power
over Ethernet (PoE), with up to 30 Watts per
port (50 - 57VDC, 600mA Max.) These ports can
be connected to PoE devices such as IP
surveillance cameras or Voice Over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) phones.
A. Insert one end of a Category 5 or better
Ethernet cable into a switch port.
B. Connect the other end into the Ethernet port
of the device.
C. Repeat steps A and B for each additional
device you want to connect to the switch.
Two 1 Gbps Combo/SFP Ports
The switch provides two 1 Gbps combo/SFP
interfaces as RJ-45 ports and SFP ports. These
ports can connect to network devices such as a
computer, printer, network video recorder
(NVR), network storage, or they can connect to
the network itself.
RJ-45 ports accommodate Category 5 or better
Ethernet cables. SFP ports accommodate
standard SFP modules; wear an ESD-preventive
wrist strap before connecting SFP modules.
These 1 Gbps interface combo ports operate in
“either/or” fashion. This means that attaching to
either a 1 Gbps RJ-45 or SFP port renders the
equivalent partner 1 Gbps port unavailable. See
the examples below.

5 Apply AC Power
A. Connect the female end of the supplied AC
power adapter cable to the power receptacle
on the switch rear panel. Connect the other
end to a grounded 3-pronged AC outlet.
B. On the switch rear panel, move the ON/OFF
switch to the ON position.
When you apply AC power:
All green PoE, Link/ACT, and 1000M LEDs
blink momentarily.
The fans start.
The yellow Power LED goes ON.
The Link/ACT and 100M LEDs for every port
connected to a device flash, as the switch
conducts a brief Power On Self-Test (POST).
6 Configure the Switch
After the switch passes its POST, perform a basic
configuration of the switch.
A. Connect an available 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
switch port to a PC using a Category 5 or
better Ethernet cable.
B. Confirm that the Link/ACT LED for the switch
port to which the PC is connected is ON.
C. Configure the PC’s TCP/IP settings to use the
subnet 192.168.2.2.
D. In a Web browser, type http://192.168.2.1
in the address bar and press Enter.
E. At the User Log In screen, type admin for the
username and password (both are case
sensitive), and then click OK.
F. In the left pane, click Administrator >
Authentication Configuration.
G. At the Authentication Configuration page,
complete the following fields:
- Username = enter a new username.
- Password = enter a new password.
- Confirm = re-enter the new password.
Username and password are case-sensitive.
Permitted characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9,
underscore, and plus, minus, and equals signs.
H. Click Update.
I. In the left pane, click Administrator >
System IP Configuration.
J. At the System IP Configuration page, perform
one of these steps next to IP Configure:
- If your network uses a DHCP server, click
DHCP.
- If your network uses static IP addresses,
click Static. Enter the switch’s IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
settings.
K. Click Update.
