please check all the contents of this package.
The product package should include the following:
1. One 16/ 24-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch
2. One power cord

1. Introduction to 16/24-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch
1.1 General Description
The device is a 16/24-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Web Smart Switch.
Compare to the traditional 10/100Mbps Ethernet, the switch delivers a dedicated Gigabit
connection to every attached client with no congestion issue. The gigabit ports also
provide the fat pipe to the server or backbone connectivity for boosting the total system
performance. Moreover, the NWay auto-negotiation operation automatically negotiates
with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode; that provides an
easy way to integrate 10/100/1000Mbps networks with no pain. It is ideal for
micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved
performance, enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications.
Out of the ordinary dumb switches, the 16/ 24-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch embedded
advanced management capability; that the device can be managed through console port
or web-based UI. This is much useful for system manager to monitor and control the
system efficiently.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all the
network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under full-duplex mode,
transmission and reception of the frames can occur simultaneously without causing
collisions as well as double the network bandwidth.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with
all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel
provide the operating status of individual port and whole system.

2. Installing 16/24 Gigabit Web Smart Switch
This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack. Users can
immediately use most of the features simply by attaching the cables and turning the
power on.
2.1 Desktop Installation
For desktop installation, the switch needs to put on a clean, flat desk or table close to a
power outlet. Plug in all network cables and the power cord, then the system is ready.
Before installing the switch, you must ensure:
1. It is accessible and cables can be connected easily
2. Cabling is away from:
＊Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers
＊Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
3. Keep water or moisture off
4. Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is great for heat
radiation (company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25 mm clearance)
To prolong the operational life of your units:
1. Never stack unit more than eight sets high if freestanding
2. Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack
3. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case
2.2 Rack-mount Installation
The switch may standalone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
Rack mounting produces an orderly installation when you have a number of related
network devices. The switch is supplied with rack mounting brackets and screws. These
are used for rack mounting the unit.
Rack Mounting the Switch in the 19-inch rack:
1. Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing.
2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing toward
you.
3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.
4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.
5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.
6. Insert the unit into the 19" rack and secure with suitable screws (not provided).
7. Reconnect all cables.

10
2.3 Installing Network Cables
Station Connections
Reference to the wiring statement of the previous section; connect each station to the
switch with correct type of cables.
Switch-to-Switch Connections
In making a switch-to-switch connection, use every ports to connect another switch or
backbone is strongly recommended. The Gigabit ports provide the fat pipe to the server or
backbone connectivity for boosting the total system performance. Reference to the wiring
statement of the previous section; connect each station to the switch with correct type of
cables.
Furthermore, as the switch supports Port Aggregation (Port Trunk) capability and up to 8
groups, it is also great to build up switch-to-switch connectivity.
2.4 Network Application

11
3. Functional Description
3.1 PHY Monitoring and Port Mode Set-up
It is a major task of the software to continuously monitor the PHYs in order to set up the
switch ports according to whether the link is down or up and in the latter case what the
current speed, duplex mode and pause capabilities are.
PHYs are being polled every 100 ms.
3.2 Flow Control
In the 24-port switch flow control (back pressure) is also supported in half duplex.
Flow control can be enabled or disabled on a per-port basis from the command line
interface.
If flow control is enabled for a port the associated PHY will be set to advertise support of
“Symmetric Pause”, but not “Asymmetric Pause”. If the station connected to the port also
supports “Symmetric Pause”, flow control will be enabled on the switch port.
3.3 Ageing
To prevent that an automatically learned MAC address of a station that has been
detached will remain in the MAC address table permanently, the ageing function in the
switch is activated on a regular basis. The period for doing the ageing function is
determined by the ageing time parameter. The ageing time parameter can be set from
the command line interface. Default value is 300 seconds. Setting the ageing time
parameter to 0 disables the ageing function.
3.4 VLAN
The device supports 802.1Q tag based VLAN. With tagging to the header of packets, the
network can be segmented in groups to reduce the collisions from widely broadcasting. A
maximum of 16(16-ports) /24(24-ports) VLANs can be stored in EEPROM.

12
3.5 Link Aggregation
Link aggregation groups (or channels) can be defined statically. LACP (Link Aggregation
Control Protocol) is not supported.
Maximum number of aggregation groups is 8.
The software will automatically detect that a link has gone down and then reassign
packet distribution on the other links in the group.
3.6 Quality of Service
Various classifications and prioritizations such as TOS, Shaper and Storm are supported
in order to enable Quality of Service for real time applications such as VoIP (Voice over
IP).
