Switch-M24PWR is an Ethernet Switching Hub with management function
having 24 ports of 10/100BASE-TX and two pairs of 10/100/1000BASE-T
port and SFP extension slot, one of which is selectable.
Ports 1 to 24 support IEEE802.3af compatible PoE power supply function.
1
1. .1 1. . F Fe ea at tu ur re es s

Ports 1 to 24 are 10/100BASE-TX ports corresponding to auto
negotiation.
Ports 25 and 26 can be used as a 10/100/1000BASE-T port
corresponding to auto negotiation or an SFP extension slot exclusively.

Ports 1 to 24 can supply power conforming with IEEE802.3af. Supplying
power up to 15.4W per port, and up to 175W in total is possible.

All twisted pair ports support straight/cross cable auto sensing function.
Simply connect devices with straight cables, whether it is a terminal or a
network device.
(This function does not work if the port communication configuration is
set at Fixed or Link Aggregation. Ports 1 to 24 are set at MDI-X.
(default))

SSH/Telnet allows remote configuration changes and verifications of
the Switching Hub.
Remotely configure the PoE settings for each port (Ports 1 to 24).

Embedded power saving mode detects the connection status
automatically and saves power consumption to minimum.

VLAN function allows free grouping of up to 256 VLANs.

The IEEE802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol is supported, allowing
to build a system with redundancy.

The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.

The IEEE802.1X compatible user authentication function
(EAP-MD5/TLS/PEAP) is supported.

The IEEE 802.3ad compatible tranking function is supported, allowing
to aggregate the ports up to 8 ports.

Two mounting brackets and eight screws (for fixing the main unit and the
mounting bracket) are included in the package. Each side of the main unit
has four screw holes. Fix the mounting brackets and the main unit by
tightening four screws each.
Then, by using four screws (for 19-inch rack) included in this Switching Hub
or procured for the lack, firmly mount the main unit in the rack.

Connection Cable
Use a CAT5-compliant straight cable (twisted pair) with 8P8C RJ45 modular
plugs.
Network Configuration
Fig. 3-1 Connection example
The length of the cable connecting this Switching Hub and a device must be
100 m or shorter. When a terminal or a LAN device with auto negotiation
function is connected to this Switching Hub, the port is automatically
configured at the highest performance mode. When a terminal or a LAN
device without auto negotiation function is connected to this Switching
Hub, this Switching Hub automatically determines and sets the
communication speed; however, the full-duplex/half-duplex configuration is
set at half-duplex because the full-duplex/half-duplex capability cannot be
determined. When connecting a terminal or a LAN device without auto
negotiation function, a fixed-mode port configuration needs to be set. For
detailed configuration procedure, refer to 4.6.4.
Note:
If a fixed-mode port configuration mode is set, Auto-MDI/MDI-X
function does not work. Therefore, use a cross cable to connect them.

twisted pair port. The twisted pair port is enabled; however, the SFP
extension port is automatically enabled when a fiber optical link is
established.
Connect this Switching Hub's TX port to the RX port of the connected
device and this Switching Hub's RX port to the TX port of the connected

and connect the other end into an electric outlet. This Switching Hub
operate at AC 100 to 240 V (50/60 Hz). This Switching Hub does not have a
power ON/OFF switch. Plugging the power cord turns on this Switching
Hub's power and it starts operating. To power off, unplug the power cord
from the electric outlet.

Upon power ON, this Switching Hub starts working as a Switching Hub. To
use the SNMP functions and other functions, you need to configure the
Switching Hub by using the console or Telnet.
In this chapter, the configuration of this Switching Hub is explained in
detail.
Note: To access this Switching Hub via Telnet, this Switching Hub must have
an IP address. Therefore, before accessing this Switching Hub via
Telnet, configure an IP address by accessing this Switching Hub via
console. For details on configuring an IP address, refer to 4.6.2.

Console connection requires a DEC VT100-compatible asynchronous
terminal, or a terminal capable of running a VT100-compatible terminal
emulator, such as HyperTerminal on Windows XP or older. Connect a
terminal of this kind to the RJ45 console port of this Switching Hub.
Configure the communication mode for the asynchronous terminal as
follows:

Transmission mode: RS-232C (ITU-TS V.24 compliant)

Emulation mode: VT100

Transmission speed: 9600 bps

Data length: 8 bits

Stop bit: 1 bit

Parity control: None

Flow control: None
