CAUTION
This Switching Hub is to be periodically serviced in order to maintain its
performance.
Please choose a product administrator, and have them be sure to implement
periodic maintenance. When doing maintenance, check the inspection chart that is
posted on our website which has the requisite items listed on it.
When using this Switching Hub to design systems, use it after applying
appropriate measures such as setting up redundant configurations.
Communications failures might be generated due to causes such as malfunctions or
misoperations while the Switching Hub is being used.
When using this Switching Hub for applications which require extremely high
reliability, be careful to expend all possible means to ensure safety and
reliability.
This Switching Hub was not designed nor manufactured with the intention that it be
used for applications (in use with railways, aviation, and medical care, etc. whereas
the influence rate due to communications failures is extremely high in regard to
systems that directly affect systems and human lives) which require extremely high
reliability.
It is strongly recommended that a lightning arrester (SPD) be installed on the
twisted pair port side and the power supply side of this Switching Hub.
Malfunctions might be caused due to overcurrent and overvoltage due to the effects
of lightning strikes.
It is recommended that this Switching Hub be replaced about five years after it
has been installed.
This may vary depending upon conditions such as utilisation rates and usage
environments, but performance might decrease due to the age-related degradation,
etc. of components.
Be careful in regards to environmental restrictions whereby the Switching Hub
can be used.
Please isolate the business power lines and communications lines. Isolate distribution
lines and other distribution lines, and low current power lines, optical fiber cables,
metallic water conduits, and gas conduits, etc. Noise may be generated in the
communications lines which might cause communications glitches.

Product Outline
Switch-M24eG is an all Giga bit Ethernet Switching Hub with management function
having 22 ports of 10/100/1000BASE-T and two pairs of 10/100/1000BASE-T port and
SFP extension slot, one of which is selectable.
1.1 Features
1
Has wire-speed Layer 2 switching function.
Ports 1 to 22 are 10/100/1000BASE-T ports corresponding to autonegotiation.
Also their speed and communication mode can be switched by configuration.
Ports 23 and 24 can be used as a 10/100/1000BASE-T port corresponding to
autonegotiation or an SFP extension slot exclusively.
Also their speed and communication mode can be switched by configuration.
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 22 are set at MDI-X. (default))
Has a loop detection function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the
corresponding port LED and automatically shuts down the looped port.
Has a loop detection history function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the
corresponding LED and enables a network administrator to identify the looped port
after the loop is removed.
Fanless design solves noise problem or fan failure.
Due to the ECO mode LED function,Port LED lamps (left) can be turned off to
reduce power consumption.
The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.
Has an internet mansion function,which ensures security between each port.
Due to the loop detection/shutoff function,a port where loop has occurred can be
automatically shut off to prevent loop failures.When a port is shut off and recovered
automatically,SNMP trap can be sent to notify the incident to the administrator.
Moreover,the port with a loop can be identified by loop notification on the LEDs on
the main unit and referring the history of loop on the setting screen.
Has a port grouping function, which groups ports that are allowed to communicate
with one another to limit communications between different groups.
with one another to limit communications between different groups.
Equipped with energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) conforming to IEEE802.3az
(LPI).When there is no data transmission at link up,the energy-saving state
automatically starts so that power consumption can be reduced on each port.
Using Embedded power-saving mode,connection status is automatically detected
and power consumption is minimized.
Supports IEEE802.1Q tagging VLAN.Up to 256 groups of VLAN can be registered.
Supports IEEE802.1X user authentication function (EAP-MD5/TLS/PEAP).
Supports ZEQUO assist Plus.Processes from introduction to maintenance can be
performed easily.

1.4 Basic operation
This Product does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Connect the supplied power
cord to this Switching Hub and connect the other end into an electric outlet.
This Switching Hub operates at AC 100 - 240 V (50/60 Hz).
When power is supplied, all the LEDs are turned ON.
Then, PWR LED (Power) lights in green, STATUS/ECO LED (Status/ECO mode) lights
in orange, and self-diagnosis of hardware is executed.
On completion of self-diagnosis, PWR LED (Power) and STATUS/ECO LED
(Status/ECO mode) light in green, and the Switching Hub starts operation as a
Switching Hub.
When this Switching Hub successfully communicates with a terminal connected to a
port, the Port LED lights up.
When the terminal is not operating normally, for example when power is not
supplied to the terminal, the Port LED does not light up.
When the Eco mode is set,Port LED lamps do not light up.
