Package Contents
When you unpack the product package, you will find the items listed below. Please inspect
the contents, and report any apparent damage or missing items immediately to your
authorized reseller.

User’s Manual
External power adapter
Unpacking
Follow these steps to unpack the EX24000 Switch and prepare it for operation:
1. Open the shipping container and carefully remove the contents.
2. Return all packing materials to the shipping container and save it.
3. Confirm that all items listed in the "Package Contents" section are included in
the shipment. Check each item for damage. If any item is damaged or missing, notify
your authorized EtherWAN representative.

Required Equipment and Software
The following hardware and software are needed in order to manage the switch from the
web interface:
Computer with an Ethernet Interface (RJ-45)
Managing the switch requires a personal computer (PC) or notebook computer
equipped with a 10/100base-TX Ethernet interface and a physical RJ-45
connection. The preferred operating system for the computer is Microsoft Windows
XP/Vista/7. It is possible to use Apple OSX or Linux systems as well, but, for the
sake of brevity, all web configurations in this manual will be shown using Windows
7 as the underlying operating system.
Cat 5+ Ethernet Cables
An Ethernet cable of at least Category 5 rating is required to connect your
computer to the switch. The cable can be configured as “straight-through” or
crossover.
TFTP Server Software
Trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) server software is needed to update the switch
firmware and to upload/download configuration files to the switch. Users not
performing these tasks do not need TFTP software installed. Several good TFTP
servers are available for free online. The server that will be used in this manual is
TFTPD32 by Philippe Jounin.
Web Browser Software
The end user can employ any of the following web browsers during switch
configuration: Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome. Internet Explorer is the
preferred browser for EtherWAN switch configuration. If there is trouble with other
browsers while attempting to program the switch, Internet Explorer should be used.

COMPUTER SETUP
The end user’s management computer may need to be reconfigured prior to connecting to
the switch in order to access the switch’s web interface through its default IP address (See
Default IP).
Management Methods and Protocols
There are several methods that can be used to manage the switch. This manual
will show the details of configuring the switch using a web browser. Each section
will be followed by the CLI (Command Line Interface) commands needed to
achieve the same results as described in that section.
The methods available to manage the EX24000 Switch include:
SSH - Secure Shell CLI that is accessible over TCP/IP networks which and is
generally regarded as the most secure method of remotely accessing a
device.
Telnet - is like SSH in that it allows a CLI to be established across a TCP/IP
network, but it does not encrypt the data stream.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the most popular switch management
protocol involving the use of a web browser.
RS232 – The EX24000 Switch is equipped with a RS232 serial port that can
be used to access the switches CLI. The Serial port is DCE DB9F. A
straight through serial cable is used to connect to a typical computer serial
port.
