2.1 Preparing the Site
Select the site that meets the following requirements:
Characteristic Requirement
Temperature 32 to 104˚F (0 to 40˚C)
Humidity 10% ~ 90%, non-condensing
2.2 Settling the Switch
zMounted to 19-inch standard rack
Locate the accessories provided in the product package. Use the rack-mount brackets and
screws to install the switch into any EIA 19” standard rack.
Step 1: Attach the brackets to each side of the chassis.
Step 2: Apply the screws to each side and secure them tightly.
Step 3: Carefully position the switch into the rack.
Step 4: Align the brackets to the side holes on the rack and use rack screws to secure the
chassis with the rack.
zDesktop or any flat surface
The switch can sit on desktop or any flat surface with adequate space and ventilation. If
you want to place it onto a shelf, make sure the shelf can withstand the weight of the
switch.
Step 1: Simply put the switch on the desired place.
Step 2: Ensure the switch receives good ventilation.
Step 3: Proceed to the “Connecting to Power” section.
2.3 Connecting to Power
Locate the provided AC power cord.
Step 1: Connect the AC power cord to the receptacle at the back of the switch.
Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage ranging from 100 to 240
VAC.
Step 3: The power LED on the front panel will come on then.
2.4 Connecting to Network
Step 1: First, ensure the power of the switch (and end devices) is turned off.
LIt may cause electric shock or any possible harm to you if the power is not switched off.
Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use.

6
Step 3: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a desired device.
Step 4: Once the connections between two end-devices are made successfully, turn on the
power.
In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to connect another switch with
straight or crossover cable. As all the ports support auto-uplink (MDI / MDI-X) function,
using a straight cable to make a switch-to-switch connection is allowed.
For cable selection, refer to the following table：
Network Speed Cable Type Max. Length
10M Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
100M Cat. 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
1000M Cat. 5, 5e UTP/STP 100 meters

one more option 1000Full for Gigabit port 25~26 for the speed/duplex mode of ports.
zBandwidth: To control the bandwidth, select the speed limitation you need in the drop
list. The larger value it is, the more bandwidth you will have. Default is Disable. The
Maximum value is 8Mbps.
zFlow Control: To enable the flow control, click the check box.
zLink/Status: To show the status of each port. When it’s green, it means the connection is
up. Otherwise, it’s red.
To save the change of the system configurations, click “Apply”. To get back to the last
settings, click “Refresh”.
3.5 VLANS
VLANS Configuration is for dividing the LAN into subnet groups for better network
management. The benefit is that the user can move one client to another subnet group
without actually moving the machine. It supports 26 groups of VLAN entry. By default, it
has one VLAN entry, including all 26 ports.
VLAN Mode
zDisable: Turn off the VLAN function by selecting this mode and then click Apply
buttons.
zPort base: To enable the port-based VLAN by selecting this mode and click apply
buttons. Group the port you select by entering the group number (Ex. 1) in VLAN
textbox and selecting the port numbers (Ex. 1, 2, 3, 4) you want.
10

Buttons
zAdd: To add a new VLAN entry, enter the VLAN ID number for the entry, select the
ports, and click “Add”.
zRemove: Choose the entry you want to remove and click “Remove”.
zModify: Select the entry you want to change, setup new members, and click
“Modify”.
zApply: Choose the mode you select (Disable and Port base) and click “Apply”.
3.6 QoS
There are three modes of Quality of Service (QoS) to choose, TOS, Tag Base, and Port
base. To disable the QoS, click Disable.
To enable the PORT BASE,
zSelect the port base, and click “Apply”.
zSelect the port base rate (1:4; 1:8; 1:16; Always High). The higher a rate is, the
higher priority the port will get.
zSelect the ports in the table (High means high priority and Low means low priority).
The priority depends on the port base rate.

To enable the TAG BASE,
To improve the network performance by applying the TAG base QoS. In vlan tag, there are
3 bits belonging to priority. According to these 3 bits, we could arrange 8 traffics as below.
From 0-3, it will be the low priority. From 4-7, it will always get the high priority.
111: User Priority 7
110: User Priority 6
101: User Priority 5
100: User Priority 4
011: User Priority 3
010: User Priority 2
001: User Priority 1
000: User Priority 0
zSelect the tag base, and click “Apply”.
zSelect the tag base rate (1:4; 1:8; 1:16; Always High). The higher a rate is, the
higher priority the tag number 4-7 will get.
To enable the TOS,
To improve the network performance, we focus on TOS field of IP header this time. If there
are three bits in the TOS field of IP header, it will always get the high priority. There are 8
types of traffic to the precedence bits as below.
111: Network Control
110: Internetwork control
101: CRITIC/ECP
100: Flash Override
011: Flash
010: Immediate
001: Priority
000: Routine
zSelect the tos, and click “Apply”.
zSelect the tos rate (1:4; 1:8; 1:16; Always High). The higher a rate is, the higher
priority the TOS traffic will get.

3.7 Aggregation
There are 7 trunk groups to choose. Don’t forget to click the “Apply” to save the setting.
The maximum of ports for one group is 4.
Caution:
Because setting in VLAN, Port aggregation, and Mirror are correlative, make sure that the
setting won’t influence others. Don’t active more than one function for one port.
3.8 Discovery
When you install several 24-port 10/100M Ethernet Smart Switches, the discovery
management tool helps you to search and access those switches on the LAN easily.
Therefore you can access any switch on your LAN without memorizing those IP addresses.
You can only find switches with the IPAddress compatible with the one you access. (Note:
The Maximum number of Address list is 16 for each mode.)
zAuto search: Click the “Apply”, and the switch list, with IP address and name, will
appear. And then, you can choose the one you want to access.
zManual add/remove: To add a new one, enter the IPAddress/Name and click “Add”. To
remove, click the check box and “Delete” button.
