1ISM Introduction
1.1 OverView
Welcome to use InHand Industrial Ethernet Switch (For Short InSwitch) series product.
ISM series switches provide a robust, easy to use and secure switching infrastructure
for harsh environments. InSwitch series of industrial design, in line with industry
norms; its tools to simplify the industrial network deployment, management and
replacement; and based on open standards to provide a good network security. ISM
series are idea productsl for industrial Ethernet applications, including wind power,
distribution automation, substation, factory automation, intelligent transportation
systems (ITS) and other deployments in harsh environments..
1.2 Product Features
Fast redundant ring network technology to protect critical network:
InSwitches build fast redundant fiber ring network, based on ITU-T G.8032
protocol, high compatibility, interoperable with other proprietary ring protocol
device. Support the single ring, the intersection ring, tangent ring and other
complex topologies. Fast self-healing function, the ring recovery time<5ms
Quality of Service(QoS), intelligent control multi-service traffic
For some network applications, such as real-time control and VoIP, Ethernet
frames need to predict the arrival time. Switch due to its frame-based buffer queue
and a first-processing mechanism, the network load will produce a larger delay.
QoS allows the time-sensitive data raised to the front of the queue to reduce
latency and jitter, thus ensuring the normal operation of these applications.
VLAN(IEEE 802.1q) Simplifies network planning
Virtual LAN(VLAN) can separated a physical network to a logical network which
has multiple independent broadcast domains.As the host can only access other
hosts in the same VLAN and isolate the broadcast storm, thus VLAN provides a

6
measure of security. InSwitch support port-based VLAN, IEEE 802.1q and GVRP
protocol to exchange information in order to ensure consistency of network VLAN.
Simple Network Management Protocol(SNMP), allowed integrated
management
SNMP provides a standard way for network management, it can query different
vendors’ equipment. InSwitch supports SNMP version V1, V2C and V3. SNMP
V3 has security features such as authentication, privacy and access control.
InSwitch also support many of the MIB, to facilitate the network management
system with any (NMS) integration.
RMON(Remote Network Monitoring)
RMON is an Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF) standard monitoring
specification that allows different networks to exchange media and control system
status information. RMON gives you a comprehensive network fault diagnosis,
planning, performance analysis, and prophecy.
IGMPSnooping and GMRP
InSwitch uses IGMP snooping (Internet multicast management protocol v1, v2 and
v3) to intelligently forward or filter multicast network in the host data stream (eg
MPEG video). This data can be transmitted directly to the needs of terminal
equipment, and reduce the Ethernet traffic.
Broadcast storm suppression network to prevent storm disaster
Broadcast storm caused severe damage and lead to failure of the network all
connected devices. In the business-critical applications, it may bring catastrophic
losses. InSwitch filtering based on user-defined limits to suppress broadcast
packets broadcast storms.
2 Access InSwitch
In this Chapter, we will introduce the way of accessing InSwitch. There are four ways
of setting configuration interface when you want to access InSwitch: web explorer,
serial port, telnet and SSH. If you don’t know InSwitch’s IP address, you could choose

7
serial port configuration by using serial port line to connect InSwitch and PC’s COM
port. In addition, telnet and web explorer are based on LAN or Internet.
This chapter mainly includes the flowing parts:
Web Explore Configuration
Serial Port Configuration
Telnet Configuration
SSH Configuration
Attention
InSwitch support Web, serial, telnet and SSH, but we suggest you not to use multiple
kinds of connection ways, thus you can effectively configure Inswitch .
2.1 Web Explorer Configuration
The default IP address of InSwitch is http://192.168.2.2. Please set your PC’s IP
address and ensure that PC’s IP and InSwitch’s IP are in the same network segment.
The settings are as below (Based on the Windows operation system):
1) Open “Control Panel”, double click “Network Connections” icon, and enter
“Network Connections” Screen.
2) Double click “Local Area Connection”, enter “Local Area Connection Status”
screen:
3) Click “Properties”, enter “Local Area Connection Properties” screen:

8
Choose “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”, click “properties” button, set your PC in the
subnet: 192.168.2.0/24, for example, set IP: 192.168.2.10, Net Mask:
255.255.255.0, Default Gateway: 192.168.2.2
Click “OK”.
After configure TCP/IP protocols, you can use ping command to check whether the
link between PC and Router is built correctly. There is an example to execute Ping
command under Windows XP as below:
Ping 192.168.2.1

9
If the screen shows:
Then the link between the PC and Router is correct connected. Else if it shows:
Then the connection seems not build, and you need to check thoroughly following the
former instructions.
After finishing the configuration above, you could set your InSwitch:
Open IE browser, input the default IP address of the Switch: http://192.168.2.2, you
can see the login web below:

10
Input “username”(default: adm) and the “password” (default: 123456), and then click
“login” to enter the operation screen.
2.2 Serial Port Configuration
Before using Serial Port to login InSwitch, please connect InSwitch’s RS-232 console
port to PC’s COM port through serial port line. Please refer to the following steps and
set Windows XP hyper terminal to login serial port console.
1) Windows desktop, click “Start up” -> “All Applications” -> “Attachment” ->
“Communication” -> “Hyper Terminal”.
2) Input the connection describing, for example “InSwitch”, then click “OK”.

11
3) Choose COM port which is used in connecting Switch, then click “OK”. (The
COM port number is up to your computer’s system setting.)
4) Set connection value, then click “OK”.

12
Bits per second: 115200 baud rate as default
Data bit: 8 bits as default
Parity check: none as default
Stop bit: 1 bit as default
Data flow control: none as default
5) Input username and password in the hyper terminal window. The default username
and password of InSwitch are adm/123456. Then you will login serial port console.

13
2.3 Telnet Configuration
Please follow steps as below:
1) Click “Start” -> “Run”, then input InSwitch IP address that you want to connect.
You could also input telnet command in MS-DOS.

14
2) After enter command prompt, input username and password (adm/123456 as
default) to login InSwitch telnet console interface.

15
2.4 SSH Configuration
Please follow steps as below:
1) Login the Switch through Web Explorer, for example IE browser. Then enable
SSH server function (refer to configure SSH server).
2) Using SSH Client to login Switch. Take PuTTY as example (PuTTY is a remote
tools for free, it supports Telnet, SSH, rlogin protocols, in this case we will take
Release 0.61 version). Open PuTTY, click “Session” in the categories, set
configurations as picture below.

16
After setting, click “Open”, you will see the dialog box as below, input username and
password (adm/123456 as default). Then, you will enter Switch console interface.
