1. Introduction
This managed switch is a Layer2 management switch with lots of advanced
network functions including VLAN, trunking, spanning tree, mirror port, IP
multicast, rate limit and port configuration. It supports console, telnet, http and
SNMP interface for switch management. IEEE 802.1x is supported for port
security application. These functions can meet most of the management request
for current network.
1.1 Package Contents
 One Intelligent Switch
 One AC power cord (* for AC power model)
 One console cable
 Two rack-mount kits and screws (* for 24+2G model only)
 This user's manual
2. Where To Place the Managed Switch
This switch can be placed on a flat surface (your desk, shelf or table).
Place the Intelligent Switch at a location with these connection considerations in
mind:
 The switch configuration does not break the rules as specified in Section 3.
 The switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily to it.
 The cables connected to the switch are away from sources of electrical
interference such as radio, computer monitor, and light fixtures.
 There is sufficient space surrounding the switch to allow for proper ventilation.
You can also install the 24+2G models Intelligent switch on a 19" rack with the
rack-mount kits.

3. Configure Network Connection
3.1 Connecting Devices to the Intelligent Switch
[ Connection Guidelines: ]
 For 10BaseT connection: Category 3 or 5 twisted-pair Ethernet cable
 For 100BaseTX connection: Category 5 twisted-pair Ethernet cable
 For 1000BaseTX connection: Category 5e or 6 twisted-pair Ethernet cable
 For UTP cable connection, always limit the cable distance to 100 meters (328
ft) as defined by IEEE specification
 If your switch has 100BaseFX/1000BaseSX/1000BaseLX ports, you can
connect long distance fiber optic cable to the switch.
 Because this switch supports Auto MDI/MDI-X detection on each UTP port,
you can use normal straight through cable for both workstation connection
and hub/switch cascading.
3.2 Connecting to Another Ethernet Switch/Hub
This Intelligent Switch can be connected to existing 10Mbps / 100Mbps /
1000Mbps hubs/switches. Because all UTP ports on the Intelligent Switch
support Auto MDI/MDI-X function, you can connect from any UTP port of the
Intelligent Switch to the MDI or MDI-X port of another hub/switch with Straight
Through or Crossover cables. If the switches have fiber-optic ports, you can
cascade them with fiber optic cable.

3.3 Application
A switch can be used to overcome the hub-to-hub connectivity limitations as well
as improve overall network performance. Switches make intelligent decisions
about where to send network traffic based on the destination address of the
packet. As a result, the switch can significantly reduce unnecessary traffic.
The example below demonstrates the switch ability to segment the network. The
number of nodes on each segment is reduced thereby minimizing network
contention (collisions) and boosting the available bandwidth per port.
With management function of the switch, network administrator is easy to
monitor network status and configure for different applications.

4. Add/Remove Module
4.1 Add/Remove Module
[ For 24+2G Fully Modulized Model ]
This model supports three 8-port 10/100Mbps TX/FX modules at front panel and
two 1-port gigabit TX/SX/LX modules at rear panel.
Note: This switch does not support hot-swap function. Turn off the switch
first before adding or removing module. Otherwise, the switch and module
could be damaged.
-- Modules at Front Side --
[ Adding Modules to the Switch at Front Panel ]
1. Power OFF the switch first.
2. If the switch is rack-mounted, you have to remove the switch from rack first.
3. Loosen the screws of the cover on the module slot with screwdriver. Two at
the front side, one at bottom side.
4. Remove the cover of the module slot.
5. Follow the rails on both sides of the module slot to slide in the module
slowly.
6. Push the module firmly to make the module connecting well with the
connector in the switch.
7. Drive the screws to fix the module to the switch firmly with screwdriver. Two
at the front side, one at bottom side.
8. If the switch is rack-mounted, you can put the switch back to rack.
9. Power ON the switch.
10. If 100FX module is added, please configure these FX ports to 100/Full with
“set port” command.
11. Connect network cables to the connectors on the module. If the connected
devices are working, the Link/Act LED will be ON.
Note: We suggest you to keep these removed module slot covers. It can be use
when these modules are removed in the future.
