Recommendation for Shielded network cables
STP cables have additional shielding material that is used to reduce external interference. The shield also reduces
the emission at any point in the path of the cable. Our recommendation is to deploy an STP network cable in
demanding electrical environments. Examples of demanding indoor environments are where the network cable is
located in parallel with electrical mains supply cables or where large inductive loads such as motors or contactors
are in close vicinity to the camera or its cable. It is also mandatory to use an STP cable where the power device
(like IP camera) is used outdoors or where the network cable is routed outdoors.

About this manual
In this user’s guide, it will not only clearly introduce Lantech LPGS-2424C Managed Switch but tell
you how to install this Managed Switch with detailed instructions.
Organization of the Manual
Chapter 1 “Introduction” describes the features of the Managed Switch

Chapter 4 “Maintenance”

Revision 1.0 5
Chapter 1 Introduction
Lantech’s Managed Switch is designed to meet the emerging FTTX & Metro Ethernet requirements.
Its low profile appearance with 1U height and the standard rack-mounted size achieve the highest
density within a single rack. When massive fiber ports need to be deployed, the Managed Switch
provides the best performance and price ratio.
1.1 Overview of LPGS-2424C
LPGS-2424C, a 19-inch and rack mountable Managed PoE Ethernet Switch, has 24
10/100/1000Base-T up to 30W PoE ports + 4 combo uplink ports (10/100/1000Base-T and
100/1000Base-X SFP) in the front panel. This Managed Switch provides high performance, store
and forward switching capability plus other advanced features such as QoS, VLAN, Spanning Tree,
LACP and so on.
LED indicators located on the front panel ease the users’ effort to monitor and manage the network
status. The built-in management module also allows users to configure, control and monitor the
system locally via console or remotely via SNMP_ based management system.
This Managed Switch is a typical SFP solution to Metro Ethernet application. Besides, it can be
used as a stand-alone switch. With the height of 1U and the standard-size rack design in
appearance, LPGS-2424C can be used in closet wiring as well.

2.3 Installing the Managed Switch
You can install the LPGS-2424C switch on a flat surface or mount it in a standard 19-inch network
equipment rack.
CAUTION
To prevent any damage or failure of the Managed Switch, please DO NOT block
the ventilation FAN holes.
Use the following guidelines when choosing a place to install the switch:
Firm and steady flat surface.
Proper power outlet location, not too far from the device.
Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is secured to the AC power connector.
Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the
switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Managed Switch.
2.3.1 Desktop Installation
The switch can be placed in any flat and steady surface with proper air ventilation. Four rubber feet
with adhesive backing are provided for this kind of installation.
Procedures
➊Attach rubber feet on the bottom at each corner of the device.
➋Select a flat and steady surface to place the switch.
➌Allow adequate space for ventilation between the device and the objects around it.

Revision 1.0 15
2.3.2 Rack Installation
In the following section, we will take the LPGS-2424C Managed Switch for example to install a 19-
inch switch in a standard 19-inch network equipment rack.
WARNING!
Please mount the Switch firmly in rack, otherwise it may fall and cause the
system damage and possible injury to personnel.
2.3.2.1 Install LPGS-2424C Switch in a Rack
The Managed Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-sized, 19-inch rack, which can be placed
in a wiring closet with other equipment. Rack mounting brackets are provided to mount the Switch.
Just follow the procedures listed below for step-by-step instructions to install your switch in this rack
space:
Step 1. Plan the rack position.
Step 2. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the desired holes in the rack, and insert
screws through each bracket and into the rack. (See Figure 2-1)
Step 3. Then, tighten the screws with the screwdriver to secure mounting brackets to the rack.
Step 4. Please ensure that the ventilation holes are not blocked.

2.3.3 Grounding the Managed PoE Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Grounding helps to limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Be sure to
install the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface before connecting
devices.
Figure 2-2 Grounding Wiring for LPGS-2424C

Revision 1.0 17
2.4 Powering on the Managed Switch
The Managed Switch can be used with AC power supply 100-240V, 50–60Hz. After the Managed
Switch is turned on, the Power LED indicators should light in green color and the FAN should spin.
For more details about the power LED description, please refer to Section 1.3 LED Definitions.
Power Failure
In the event of power failure, unplug the power that is plugged into the switch at the back of the
device. When power is resumed, plug the power back to the switch.
2.5 Connecting the Managed Switch to the
Network
Connect to Network
The Managed Switch has 24 TP ports and 4 combo ports in the front panel. These 24 TP ports can
be plugged with 10/100/1000Base-T UTP cable. Uplink combo ports 25-28 can be plugged with
100Base-FX, 1000Base-X SFP Fiber transceiver or 10/100/1000Base-T UTP cable. The connection
of the fiber port must be matched, i.e. Transmitter to Receiver, and vice versa.
2.6 Installing and Removing SFP Modules
2.6.1 Installing SFP Modules
To connect the fiber transceiver and LC cable, use the following guidelines:
1. Position the SFP transceiver with the handle on top.
2. Locate the triangular marking in the slot and align it with the bottom of thetransceiver.
3. Insert the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks intoplace.
4. Make sure the module is seated correctly before sliding the module into the slot. A click
sounds when it is locked in place.
Note: If you are attaching fiber optic cables to the transceiver, continue with the following step. Otherwise,
repeat the previous steps to install the remaining SFP transceivers in the device.
1. Remove the protective plug from the SFPtransceiver.
Note: Do not remove the dust plug from the transceiver if you are not installing the fiber optic cable at this
time. The dust plug protects hardware from dust contamination.
2. Insert the fiber cable into the transceiver. The connector snaps into place andlocks.
3. Repeat the previous procedures to install any additional SFP transceivers in the switch. The
fiber port is now set up.

Revision 1.0
18
2.6.2 Removing SFP Modules
To disconnect an LC connector, use the following guidelines:
1. Press down and hold the locking clips on the upper side of the opticcable.
2. Pull the optic cable out to release it from thetransceiver.
3. Hold the handle on the transceiver and pull the transceiver out of the slot.
2.7 Connecting the Switch to Console Port
The switch supports a secondary means of management. By connecting the RJ45 to RS232 serial
cable between a COM port on your PC (9-pin D-sub female) and the switch’s RJ45 (RJ45) port, a
wired connection for management can be established.
