 Rack installations: Use a 19-inch EIA standard
equipment rack that is grounded and
physically secure.
 Identify a power source within 6 feet.
 Choose a dry area with ambient temperature
between 0 and 40ºC (32 and 104ºF).
 Do not cover fans on the rear and side.

Connect to the Data Ports
Twenty-Four Gigabit RJ45 Ports
The switch is equipped with 24 gigabit RJ45 ports
that provide Power over Ethernet (PoE+), with
up to 30W per port (450W total PoE power
budget). These ports can be connected to PoE
devices such as IP surveillance cameras.
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 Gigabit Combo/SFP Ports
Ports 25 and 26 can be used as combo ports
(RJ45 or SFP).
The SFP ports accommodate standard SFP
modules.
These combo ports operate in “either/or”
fashion. This means that attaching to either an
RJ45 or SFP port renders the equivalent partner
port unavailable. See the example 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:
 The fans start.
 The orange Power LED goes ON.
 The Link/ACT LEDs turn on for every port
connected to a powered device.
6
Configure the Switch
After the switch boots up, perform a basic
configuration of the switch.
A.
Connect an available RJ45 switch port to a
PC using a 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 192.168.1.1.
D.
In a Web browser, enter the default IP
address of http://192.168.1.10.
E.
Upon initial log in, a new password must be
set before configuration changes can be
saved.
F.
At the User Log In popup, type admin for
both the User ID and default password, and
then click Sign In.

When logging into the management Web GUI for
the first time, the system will ask you to change
the login password immediately. To change the

Password” field to “Yes”.
Type in the new password twice and press the
“Save” button.
The new password must meet the following
complexity requirements:
Minimum 8 characters and maximum 35
characters in password length without leading or
trailing blanks.
The password must contain characters from the
following categories:
1. Uppercase English letters, (A to Z)
2. Lowercase English letters, (a to z)
3. Numbers, (0 to 9)
4. Non-alphanumeric characters (e.g. @, #, !)
G.
Go to Configuration->System->IP and
perform one of these steps:
- If your network uses a DHCP server, check
Enable under DHCPv4.
- If your network uses static IP addresses,
enter the switch’s IP address under IPv4.
H.
Click Save to save the settings to the running
configuration. If current settings are not
saved as startup config, all current settings
will be lost when the switch is rebooted. To
save the settings to the startup configuration,
go to Maintenance->Configuration->Save
startup-config and click Save Configuration.
7
Factory Reset
To reset the device back to factory default
settings, connect port 1 and 2 with an Ethernet
cable within 1 minute of the device booting up.
In the first minute after boot-up, packets will be
transmitted from port 1. If the packets are
received by port 2, the switch will be reset to
default settings.
8
Console Configuration
 Connect to the switch console using a RJ45
to DB9 console cable (RJ45 pinout shown
below) to the RJ45 console port of the switch
and to the serial port of the PC running a
terminal emulation application (such as
Putty).
 Configuration settings of the emulator: Baud
rate: 115,200bps, Data bits: 8, Parity: none,
Stop bit: 1, Flow control: none.
