1. Introduction
In today’s society, the ability to communicate quickly and share important data is
essential to our lifestyle. Computer networks have proven to be one of the fastest
methods of communication.
The MIL-SM801XX series are compact desktop size switches that are ideal
solutions for small, medium and enterprise networks. The switch provides wire-
speed switching with high-performance, and low-cost connections. Using the store-
and-forward switching method, this switch can auto-learn and store up to 8K worth
of MAC addresses.
Figure 1-1. The MIL-SM801XX
The MIL-SM801xx switch provides eight-switched auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
Ethernet ports plus one 100Base-FX fiber port. The switch will automatically detect
the speed of the device that you plug into, allowing you to use both 10 and
100Mbps devices. The 10Mbps bandwidth will accommodate 10Mbps workgroup
hubs while simultaneously providing the 100Mbps bandwidth needed to
accommodate multimedia applications. In addition, each RJ-45 port supports Auto
MDI/MDIX for easy installation.
The MIL-SM801XX switch provides one 100Base-FX fiber port. There are 4 types
of fiber connectors available on the switch. These fiber connectors are SC, ST, MT-
RJ, VF-45 (multi-mode) and SC (single-mode). The fiber port can be used to
connect to a remote site up to 2 kilometers (multi-mode) or 15~60 kilometers (SC
single- mode).
The MIL-SM801XX includes built in Web-based Management. You can easily
configure and monitor the switch through your web browser. You can also use our
text base console program through Telnet, Serial Console, or any SNMP
management system.

Compare the contents of your MIL-SM801XX package with the standard checklist
above. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your local dealer for
service.
Ethernet Switching Technology
Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a
network, eliminated congestion problems inherent with Carrier Sense Multiple
Access with Collision Detection protocol, and greatly reduced unnecessary
transmissions.
Switches have revolutionized the network world in three major ways. First, by using
a switch you can have two-way, simultaneous transmissions over the same port (full
duplex), essentially doubling the bandwidth. Second, by reducing the collision
domain to a single switched-port “Carrier Sensing” is eliminated. Third, using store-
and-forward switching, unnecessary transmissions can be eliminated to avoid
congestion.
Auto-negotiation regulates the speed and duplex of each port, based on the
capability of both devices. Flow-control allows transmission from a 100Mbps node
to a 10Mbps node without loss of data. You may need to disable auto-negotiation
and flow control for some networking operations involving legacy equipment.
Disabling the auto-negotiation is accomplished by fixing the speed or duplex of a
port.

Management Methods
The MIL-SM801XX series supports the following management methods:
nConsole and Telnet Management
nWeb-based Management
nSNMP Network Management
Console and Telnet Management
Console Management is done through the serial Console Port. This method
requires a direct connection between a PC and the MIL-SM801XX. Telnet
management is done over the network. Once the MIL-S801XX has an assigned IP
address and is on the network, you can use Telnet to login and make configuration
changes.
Web-based Management
The switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory. It offers
advanced management features and allows users to manage the MIL-SM801XX
from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. For more information, see chapter 6.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a way to monitor and
control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistic collection,
performance, and security.

management program.
Console management involves the administration of the switch via a direct
connection to the RS-232 console port, which has a female DB-9 connector. From
the main menu of the console program, user has access to manage the functions of
the switch.
Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port
Figure 3-1. Connecting the MIL-SM801XX to a terminal via RS-232 cable
Use the supplied RS-232 cable to connect a terminal or PC to the console port. The
terminal or PC to be connected must support the terminal emulation program.
After connecting the switch via the RS-232 cable, run a terminal emulation
program or Hyper Terminal to match the following default characteristics of the
console port:
Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Data Bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop Bit: 1
Control flow: None

Assigning an IP Address to the switch
Once you have logged into the MIL-SM801XX, you need to assign an IP address to
the switch’s Ethernet interface so that you can connect to the switch using a Web
Browser.
1. From the Main Menu of the console, select Item 1 by typing in “1” after the
prompt and press Enter. You must select the appropriate Boot Method ---
Flash, BOOTP, or DHCP (For more information, see Web-based Management
– Agent Config ).
2. There are three command options to change the IP Address (the initial Default
IP address is 192.168.1.77). For example, if you wanted to change the IP
address to 199.86.12.40, you could type one of the following at the MIL
prompt:
MIL> ip-address 199.86.12.40
MIL> 2 199.86.12.40
MIL> ip 199.86.12.40
Note: After typing in the command press Enter twice.
10

3. You will now find that the default IP address has been changed to IP address
192.168.12.40. Reboot by typing “reboot” or “H”.
4. By similar methods, you can configure Subnet Mask (default subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0), Broadcast (default Broadcast is 255.255.255.255), and
Gateway (default Gateway is 192.168.1.6). The gateway address is the router
that can forward packets to the other IP networks.
Figure 3-4. Changing IP address by typing in “ ip-address 199.86.12.40 ” after the prompt .

Secured IP
Secured IP can guard against unauthorized users accessing the switch
management. Network security for IP access allows only one IP address or up to 3
IP addresses to access the web based management server and telnet server.
The Default Secured IP is 0.0.0.0 for all three secured IP, which means that no
network security on IP was set from original factory setting. Now, if you want to set
Secured IP, for example, you can type in “securedip 1 199.86.12.46” after the
prompt press Enter twice. The first Secured IP has been registered. Only the end
station with IP 192.168.1.27 has access to the network management.
Figure 3-7. Type in “ securedip 1 199.86.12.46” after the prompt in order to set the first
secured IP.
13

Figure 3-8. After pressing Enter twice, the first secured IP address is set to 199.86.12.46.
Resetting Factory Defaults
You can reset the switch back to factory default settings by using the loaddefault
command. Simply type L 2 at the MIL>_ prompt and press enter.
Note: If you do not type L 2, and only type L,the following option appears:
Usage: loaddefault (0:1:2).
The only correct option is L 2 for the MIL-SM801XX.
