Chapter 2 Installation Preparation
2.1 Caution of Usage
Similar to other electronic products, the semiconductor chip easily gets damaged if
you power on or off abruptly and frequently. To restart up the switch of 24 SWITCH,
you have to open the power on-off after the power is cut down for three to five
seconds.
Avoid severe collision or falling down from the height to protect the parts in the
switch.
Do not insert the Ethernet plug into the console port (RJ45 8-line socket). Similarly,
do not insert the console cable into the console port (RJ45 8-line socket).
Note:
1) When you plug or dial the power line, keep the power line horizontal with the
power socket.
2) When the lifetime of our products ends, handle them according to national laws
and regulations, or send these products to our company for collective processing.
2.2 Safety Advice
2.2.1 Safety Principles
Keep dustless and clean during or after the installation.
Put the cover at the safe place.
Put tools at the right place where they are not easily falling down.
Put on relatively tight clothes fasten the tie or scarf well and roll up the
sleeve, avoiding stumbling the machine box.
Put on the protective glasses if the environment may cause damage to your
eyes.
Avoid incorrect operations that may cause damage to human or devices.
2.2.2 Safety Notices
The safety notices mentioned here means that improper operation may lead to
body damage.

- 5 -
Read the installation guide carefully before you operate the system.
Only professionals are allowed to install or replace the switch.
Pull out the AC power socket and close the direct-current power before
operating on the machine box or working beside the power source.
The final configuration of products must comply with relative national laws
and regulations.
2.2.3 Safety Principles for Live Working
When you work under electricity, following the following principles:
Put off ornaments, such as ring, necklace, watch and bracelet, before you
operate under live working. When metal articles connect the power to the
ground, short circuit happens and components may be damaged.
Pull out the AC power socket and close the direct-current power before
operating on the machine box or working beside the power source.
When the power is on, do not touch the power.
Correctly connect the device and the power socket.
Only professionals are allowed to operate and maintain the device.
Read the installation guide carefully before the system is powered on.
Note:
1) Check potential dangers, such as the humid floor, ungrounded extensible power
line and tatty power line.
2) Install the emergent on-off at the working room for turning off the power when
trouble happens.
3) Turn off the power on-off of the switch and plug off the power line before
installing or uninstalling the machine box or working beside the power.
4) Do not work alone if potential dangers exist.
5) Cut off the power before checkout.
6) If trouble happens, take the following measures:
A. Cut off the system's power.
B. Alarm.
C. Take proper measures to help persons who are hit by the disaster. Artificial
respiration is needed if necessary.
D. Seek for medical help, or judge the loss and seek for available help.

2.2.4 Electrostatic Discharge Damage Prevention
Electrostatic discharge may damage devices and circuits. Improper treatment may
cause the switch to malfunction completely or discontinuously.
Move or locate the devices according to the measures of electrostatic discharge
prevention, ensuring the machine box connects the ground. Another measure is to
wear the static-proof hand ring. If there is no hand ring, use the metal clip with the
metal cable to clip the unpainted metal part of the machine box. In this case, the
static is discharged to the ground through the metal cable of the clip. You can also
discharge the static to the ground through your body.
2.3 Requirements for Common Locations
This part describes the requirements for the installation locations.
2.3.1 Environment
The switch can be installed on the desk or the cabinet. The location of the machine
box, cabinet planning and indoor cabling are very important for normal system’s
function. Short distance between devices, bad ventilation and untouchable control
plate will cause maintenance problems, systematic faulty and breakdown.
For location planning and device locating, refer to section 2.3.2 “Location
Configuration Prevention”.
2.3.2 Location Configuration Prevention
The following preventive measures assist you to design the proper environment for
the switch.
Make sure that the workshop is well-ventilated, the heat of electrical devices
is well-discharged and sufficient air circulation is provided for device cooling.
Avoid to damage devices by following the electrostatic discharge prevention
procedure.
Put the machine box at the place where cool air can blow off the heat inside
the machine box. Make sure the machine box is sealed because the opened
machine box will reverse the cool air flow.
2.3.3 Cabinet Configuration
The following content assists you to make a proper cabinet configuration:
Each device on the cabinet gives off heat when it runs. Therefore, the sealed
cabinet must have the heat-discharge outlet and the cooling fan. Do not put
the devices too close, avoiding bad ventilation.

- 7 -
When you install the machine box at the open cabinet, prevent the frame of
the cabinet from blocking the airway of the machine box.
Ensure that nice ventilation is provided for the devices installed at the bottom
of the cabinet.
The clapboard separates exhaust gas and inflow air, and boost cool air to
flow in the machine box. The best location of the clapboard is decided by the
air flow mode in the machine box, which can be obtained through different
location tests.
2.3.4 Power Requirements
Make sure that the power supply has nice grounding and the power at the input
side of the switch is reliable. The voltage control can be installed if necessary. At
least a 240 V, 10A fuse or a breaker is provided in the phase line if you prepare the
short-circuit prevention measures for a building.
Caution:
If the power supply system does not have good grounding, or the input power
disturbs too much and excessive pulses exist, the error code rate of
communication devices increases and even the hardware system will be
damaged.
2.4 Installation Tools and Device
The tools and devices to install the 24 SWITCH are not provided by the 24
SWITCH switch. You yourself need to prepare them. The following are the tools
and devices needed for the typical installation of the 24 SWITCH switch:
Screwdriver
Static armguard
Bolt
Ethernet cable
Other Ethernet terminal devices
Control terminal

Figure 3-2: Installing the switch on the cabinet
3.3 Connecting the Port
3.3.1 Connecting the Console Port
The switch of 24 SWITCH has a console port.
The rate of the console port is a value ranging from 1200bps to 115200bps. It has
a standard RJ45 plug. After you connect the console port to the serial port of PC
through a console cable, you can configure and monitor the switch of 24 SWITCH
by running the terminal emulation software, such as super Windows terminal. The
cable is provided according to the host. The communication parameters of the
terminal serial port can be set to a rate of 9600bps, eight data bits, one stop bit, no
sum check bit and traffic control.
The RJ45 connector of the console port is shown in Figure 3-3. The RJ45 plug
corresponds to the RJ45 socket, whose pins can be aligned from left to right with
the value from 1 to 8.

Note: The console port of the 24 SWITCH does not support traffic control. Therefore, you
must set the option data traffic control to none when you configure the switch with the super
terminal. Otherwise, the single-pass problem will arise on the super terminal.
The cable is used to connect the console port of the 24 SWITCH and the outside console
terminal device. One end of the console port is RJ45 8-core plug and the other end of the
console port is a 25-hole plug and a 9-hole plug. The RJ45 plug is put into the socket of the
console port on the 24 SWITCH switch. DB25 and DB9 is alternative. RJ45 connects to DB9
in the console port shown as below.

- 11 -
Figure 3-5 Cable connection at the console port
3.3.2 Connecting Gigabit Ethernet SFP Ports
The 24 SWITCH has 4 gigabit SFP ports. Each port has a corresponding indicator
for showing their LINK/ACT state. If the indicator is always on, the port is normally
linked; if the indicator flickers, the data is forwarded through the port. In use the
SFP optical module can be connected to the SFP optical module and connected to
other Ethernet terminal devices through the optical cable.
Figure 3-6 Gigabit SFP ports connect to other Ethernet terminal devices
3.3.3 Connecting 1000M Ethernet Base-T ports
24 SWITCH provides 24 10/100/1000MRJ45 ports. Each port corresponds to one
LINK/ACT indicator. In use, the ports can connect other UT terminal devices
through the UTP port and the direct-through or cross network cable. The
numbering order of the pins in the UTP port is the same as the console port. See
the following figure:
Figure3-7 RJ-45 Connector of the console port

- 12 -
Because 24 10/100/1000Base-T ports of 24 SWITCH support the MDI/MDIX
self-identification of the cable, 24 SWITCH can adopt five types of
direct-through/cross network cables when it connects other Ethernet terminals.
