1 Unpacking
Unpack the items. Your package should include:
One EX83000 Series hardened managed
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 -40 and 75ºC (-40 and 167ºF).
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:
8, 12, or 16 10/100Base-TX ports
0, 1, 2, or 4 100Base-FX ports
0, 1, or 2 Gigabit ports
10/100Base and 1000Base-FX Ports
These ports come in 10/100Base-TX/FX/BX/SFP
interfaces. You can connect these ports to
devices such as an IP surveillance camera or a
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone.
A. Insert one end of an appropriate 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
Some switch models have 10/100/1000Base-TX
ports with no Gigabit fiber ports, combo
10/100/1000Base-TX ports with 1000Base-
SX/LX/BX ports, or 1000Base-SFP with
10/100/1000Base-TX ports. You can connect
these ports to network devices such as a
computer, printer, network video recorder
(NVR), network storage, or they can connect to
the network itself.
Combo ports operate in “either/or” fashion. This
means that attaching to a 1 Gbps combo port
renders the equivalent partner combo port
unavailable. See the following example.
5 Apply DC Power
The switch has two pairs of power inputs: a 12-
48VDC terminal block and a 12VDC jack, Only
one power input is required to operate the
switch. However, redundant power supply
functionality is supported.
Terminal Block
The switch provides two power inputs on a 12-
48VDC terminal block. Only one power input is
required to operate the switch. The terminal
block has 8 terminal posts.

Pin Description
Power 3 12VDC
Power Failure Alarm
Two pins on the terminal block are provided for
power failure detection. Do not connect a power
source to these pins. The relay contact closes if
Power 1 and Power 2 are both failed, but Power
3 is ON; or if Power 3 is failed, but Power 1 and
Power 2 are both ON.
Power-Up Sequence
When you apply power, all Link/ACT LEDs blink
momentarily, the Power 1/2/3 LEDs go ON, and
LEDs for every port connected to a device flash.

Flashing = port sending or receiving data.
7 Managing the Switch
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:
