Preface
Overview of Console Applications
Example of the HP AdvanceStack Switch 800T withFour 100Base-TXTransceivers
installed
When powered-up in the factory default configuration, the Switch 800T-
automatically operates as a multiport learning bridge with the following
configuration:
■All ports are enabled and are members of a single broadcast domain
■Spanning tree protocol (STP) disabled
The console interface provides the following capabilities for use when you
want to move beyond this basic level of operation:
■Monitoring system performance and status
■Customizing the system configuration for improved performance and
unique system requirements
■Enabling network management (SNMP) access
■Setting passwords to help protect system security
■Downloading system software updates
■Troubleshooting

Installation Summary
This chapter describes the installation procedures for the HP J3245A
AdvanceStack Switch 800T (hereafter referred to as the Switch 800T).
The following is a summary of those procedures:
1. Site Preparation. Ensure that the cabling infrastructure meets the
network specifications for your intended use of the Switch 800T.
• For100Base-TXtransceiversusedintheSwitch800T,usecategory5,
four-pair, 100 ohm UTP (unshielded twisted-pair) cables. Cable
lengthscanbe upto100 meters.Foraconnectiontoanendnode,use
straight-through cable. For a connection to a hub or a switch, use a
crossover cable.
• For 100Base-FX transceivers used in the Switch 800T, use fiber
optical cables that:
– Are fitted with type SC connectors
– Conform to ISO/IEC 793-2 type B1 and ITU-T G.652 standards
Caution Ensure that the power source circuits are adequate and properly
grounded.Thatis,ensurethatanySwitch800Tinstallation,togetherwith
any other devices, does not overload thepower circuits, wiring, andover-
currentprotection.Todeterminethepossibilityofoverloadingthesupply
circuits, add together the ampere ratings from the nameplates of all
devices installed on the same circuits and compare the total with the
rating limits for the supply circuits. For additional information, refer to
appendix B, “Specifications”.

Installation Summary

2. Install transceivers (optional). The Switch 800T is shipped with four
HPJ3192BAdvanceStack100Base-TXTwisted-PairTransceiverModules
(referred to in this manual as “transceivers”) already installed.
Caution Because the Switch 800T can be damaged by installing or removing a
transceiver while powered-up, the ONLY time to install additional
transceivers is before powering up the switch or with the power
disconnected during scheduled down times.
The J3192A twisted-pair transceiver is not supported in the Switch 800T.
Always use the “B” version (J3192B) or any later J3192 transceiver(s).
3. Verify the switch’s operation. This is a simple process of applying
powertotheSwitch800TandensuringthattheLEDsontheswitch’sfront
panel respond properly.
4. Mount the switch in a rack, on a wall, or on a tabletop.
Hewlett-Packard sells 19-inch free-standing equipmentracks.To order a
rack, contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer.
5. (Optional) Connect the J2962A HP AdvanceStack Redundant
Power Supply (RPS) instead of using the switch’s own power
supply. This optional power supply can be used instead of the switch’s
main power supply to provide both primary and backup (redundant)
power to keep the switch operating in the event of a failure in either a
power circuit or a power supply unit.
6. Connect the Switch 800T to a network and connect computers and/
or other devices to the switch’s ports.
7. Configure the Switch 800T. The Switch 800T, in its factory default
configuration, operates as a multiport transparent bridge. You will need
to use the console interface utility to configure the switch for additional
functionality. Initially, this requires one of the following:
• A PCwith a terminal emulator connected tothe Console RS-232 port
on the switch either directly or via a modem
• An actual terminal directly connected to the Console RS-232 port on
the switch
(For examples of terminal emulator configurations, refer to appendix C,
“Sample Console Configurations”.)
After configuring a minimal IP or IPX configuration through one of the
aboveoptions,youcanalsoaccesstheconsoleinterfaceviaTelnetoruse
a network management tool, such as Hewlett-Packard’s AdvanceStack
Assistant, for some configuration and monitoring functions.

The Switch 800T is shipped with four HP J3192B AdvanceStack 100Base-TX
Twisted-Pair Transceiver Modules already installed. (The switch does not
support use of the “A” version—HP J3192A—of this transceiver.) Additional
twisted-pair (UTP) or fiber transceivers must be purchased separately. (You
need a minimum of one transceiver installed to connect the switch to your
network, and one additional transceiver installed for each connection to a
server, hub, switch, or other device.) The Switch 800T is designed to operate
with either of the following two transceivers:
■HP J3192B AdvanceStack 100Base-TX Twisted-Pair Transceiver Module
■HP J3193B AdvanceStack 100Base-FX Fiber-Optic Transceiver Module
Caution To avoid damage to circuitry in the Switch 800T and transceivers,
always have the power to the Switch 800T turned off while a trans-
ceiver is being installed or removed.
For proper cooling and for reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure
that a slot cover (provided with your Switch 800T) is installed on any unused
transceiver slot.

It may be more convenient to install additional transceivers before installing

determine whether the switch’s module slots will be accessible.
For a description of currently available transceivers, contact your
HP-authorized LAN dealer or check Hewlett-Packard’s World Wide Web site
listed on the card at the front of this manual.
To Install a Transceiver into the Switch 800T: This procedure
describes the general installation of a transceiver. For information on the
specific transceiver you are installing, plus specific connection and trouble-
shooting information, refer to the HP 100Base-T Transceiver Modules
Installation Guide you received with the transceiver.
1. Unplug the Switch 800T from the AC power source.
Caution To avoid damage to circuitry in the Switch 800T and transceivers,
always have the power to the Switch 800T turned off while a
transceiver is being installed or removed.
2. Use a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver to unscrew the two retaining
screws from the cover plate on the slot in which you want to install the
transceiver.Forexample,toinstall anHPJ3192BAdvanceStack100Base-

Retain the cover plate for future use. If you remove a transceiver in the
future without replacing it, cover the unused slot with one of these cover
plates.

4. Slide the transceiver firmly into the open slot as far as it will go. The
transceiver’s faceplate should touch the face of the device.
Note Ensure that the transceiver you are installing has a blue color bar with the
word “100T” printed on it ([ 100T ]). (See figure 1-3, below.) Any transceiver

5. Tighten the retaining screws on the transceiver until they are snug. Be
careful that you do not overtighten the screws.
6. To install another transceiver, return to step 2. Otherwise, go on to the
next procedure (page 1-6).

2. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Note The Switch 800T does not have a power switch. It is powered on when the
switch’s power cord is connected to the switch and to a power source.
If yourinstallation requires adifferentpowercord than the onesupplied with
the switch, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety
agencythatdefinestheregulationsforpowercordsinyourcountry.Themark
is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the switch.
3. Check the LEDs on the switch’s front panel.
