1 Unpacking
Unpack the items. Your package should include:
One EX29000 Series switch
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
Appropriate cables for data ports
Personal computer or laptop
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 -10 and 60ºC (14 and 140ºF).
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
Depending on the model, your switch can have
the following ports:
0, 8, 16, or 24 10/100Base-TX ports
0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, or 24 100Base-FX ports
0, 2, or 4 Gigabit ports
10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX Ports
These ports can connect to devices such as an IP
surveillance camera or a Voice Over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) phone.
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.
Gigabit Ports
Gigabit ports come as 4-port 10/100/1000Base-
TX with Gigabit SFP socket combo, 4-port
1000Base-SX/LX/BX, or 2-port 10/100/1000Base-
TX with 2-port 1000Base-SX/LX/BX. 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.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap before
connecting to these ports.
Gigabit-SFP combo ports operate in “either/or”
fashion. This means that attaching to a 1 Gbps
SFP port renders the equivalent partner combo
port unavailable.
5 Apply AC Power
A. Connect the female end of the supplied AC
power adapter to the power receptacle on
the switch rear panel.
B. Connect the other end to a grounded 3-
pronged AC outlet.
Power-Up Sequence
When you apply AC power:
All Link/ACT LEDs blink momentarily.
The System LED goes ON.
LEDs for every port connected to a device
flash.

7 Managing the Switch
The following procedures are optional, but
recommended for a basic configuration.
A. Connect a PC to an available switch port
using an appropriate cable.
B. Confirm that the Link/ACT LED for the switch
port to which the PC is connected is ON. If
not, choose a different port.
C. Configure the PC’s TCP/IP settings to use the
subnet 192.168.1.Xand subnet mask
255.255.255.0, where Xis a number from 2
to 254 other than 10.
D. In a Web browser address bar, type
http://192.168.1.10 and press Enter.
E. Log in to the management interface:
F. Change the system name:
- In the left pane, click +next to System,
then click System Name/Password.
- On the right side, click in the System
Name text box.
- Replace the name shown with a name you
want to assign to the switch.
- Click the Update Setting button below
the System Name text box.
G. By default there is no password assigned to
the switch. To add a password:
- In the page above, click in the Password
text box, enter a password, and retype it
in the Retype Password text box.
- Click Update Setting below the
Retype Password text box.
H. Change the switch’s IP address and subnet
mask to match the scheme on your network:
