1 Introduction
The POE SWITCH is an 8-Port Web-Smart Midspan PoE Switch with power on/off
scheduling control. The web smart features are designed to deliver high levels of
performance that are commensurate with Fast Ethernet networking, and to provide simple
and easy installation in an environment where the power over Ethernet (PoE) are required
for remote PoE devices.
The web smart switch provide 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet connections with many
networking capabilities per port basis including Security, QoS service, Bandwidth Control,
Spanning Tree Protocol, VLAN, SNMP settings, and PoE functions.
The power over the Ethernet ports are all turned off initially, and can be turned on per port
basis through the web management to power on the corresponding remote PoE device. The
powered PoE device can be any equipment of IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE device, such as
WiFi AP, IP camera, IP Phone, etc.
Each port can deliver up to 15 Watt (or optional 30Watt) to the corresponding remote PoE
device. Request of more power from remote PoE device may result in a power failure due
to activation of Over-Current-Protection (OCP) circuit.
The POE SWITCH can be installed in a rack mount chassis where space is limited. The
optional rack mount kit can be purchased separately from you local dealer for rack mount
installation.
The rest of this user manual will help you to uncover most of the web smart features
with step-by-step instructions illustrated on web pages.

the switch on desktop, please choose a steady, level surface in a well-ventilated area that is
free from excessive dust. In any case, the installation site chosen for your switch has to
comply with the following requirements:
The surface where you want to mount the switch must be able to sustain at least 1.5kg.
Do not place heavy objects (more than 3kg) on top of the switch.
The location must preferably be free from excessive dust, away from heat vent, hot-air
exhaust and direct sunlight.
The switch should not be placed near large electric motors or other strong
electromagnetic sources. As a reference, the strength of the electromagnetic field on
site should not exceed the (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2(3V/M) field
strength.
The air temperature in the location should be within a range of 0 to 60°C.
The relative humidity in the location should not exceed 90% non-condensing humidity.
The distance between the RJ-45 port and the standard network interface should not
exceed 100 meters.
Adequate space should be allowed in front of all the ports, so that each port is easily
accessible for cable connections.
Leave at least 10cm (4 inch) of space around the switch to allow heating dissipation
Rack Mounting
The POE SWITCH can be mounted on a standard size 19-inch rack, and placed in a wiring
closet with other equipments.
Before you can mount the switch on the rack, first you must attach the mounting brackets on
both sides of the switch with screws, and then mount it as a unit on the rack.
3.4 Desktop Installation
The POE SWITCH has four rubber pads attached on each corner of its underside. These pads
serve as cushioning against vibration and prevent the switch from sliding off its position.

4 Web Management
The POE SWITCH can be configured on web page, including administrator, bandwidth
management, VLAN setting, per port counter, trunk setting, QoS setting, security filter
configuration, backup/recovery, miscellaneous, logout, etc. The web browsers, such as IE
6.0~7.0, Firefox 2.0~3.0, can be used to configure the web smart switch. All the web
management functions will be illustrated in this chapter.
4.1 Setup your computer for Web management
The Concept of Subnet
Under the TCP/IP environment, network devices must be on the same subnet in order to
connect to each other. This means that your computer must set to the same subnet and subnet
mask as the switch in order to configure the switch through PC web browser.
To find out the IP address information for your computer, please run Command Line window
in WinNT/2000/XP, and enter “ipconfig”. ( or enter “winipcfg”in Win9x).
For example, if one IP address is 192.168.2.1, and the other IP address must be 192.168.2.x
(x can be any number between 2 and 254) for same Class C subnet.
For the same subnet mask, usually 255.255.255.0 is used for all Class C subnet.
Configure you computer’s IP address
Before accessing the switch through web browser, please follow the instruction below to
configure your computer‟s IP to the same subnet as the switch. If the web smart switch IP
address has not been changed, it should have the following factory default value:
Default IP Address:
IP Address: 192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

http://www.level1.com 17
To set your computer IP address in the same subnet as the switch, please follow the steps to
change the computer IP address:
Step 1. Double click on the network connection status icon on the task bar. This should
bring up a window showing the status of the current network connection. If there
is no network status icon on the task bar, please go to the “Start -> Settings ->
Network -> Local Area Connection”of the Window task bar‟s Start menu.
Step 2. Click on the “property” icon.
Step 3. Double click on the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”icon.

http://www.level1.com
18
Step 4. Click on “Use the following IP address” button and enter the computer‟s IP
address manually. This IP address must be on the same subnet as the switch but
different from the switch‟s IP. Please make sure the IP is not used by other network
device. If the switch‟s IP address is with factory‟s default value, please enter the
following for computer‟s IP:
IP Address: 192.168.2.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
Click “Ok”after finish entering the IP.
*Note1: An alternative configuration is to change the switch IP address into the same subnet
as the computer. This can be done in the Section 4.3 Admistrator for setting new
switch IP address.
*Note2: The POE SWITCH has DHCP client ability. This allows DHCP server (or router)
to assign IP automatically. However, we do not recommend turning on the DHCP
client because the DHCP server assign the IP randomly. The DHCP client should
be used only when connecting directly to Cable Modem (for remote management)
whose service provider uses DHCP for IP assignment.
Now, you will be able to access the switch by entering the switch‟s IP address on the
web browser.
