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.

Basic Instructions for the Use of This Product
For inspection and/or repair, consult the retailer.
Use commercial power supply from a wall socket, which is close and easily accessible to this
Switching Hub.
Unplug the power cord when installing or moving this Switching Hub.
Unplug the power cord when cleaning this Switching Hub.
Use this Switching Hub within the specifications. Deviation could lead to malfunction.
Do not touch the metal terminal of the RJ45 connector, the modular plug of connected twisted
pair cable. Do not place charged objects in the proximity of them. Static electricity could lead to
equipment failure.
Do not put the modular plug of the connected twisted pair cable on objects that can carry
static charge, such as carpet. Do not place it in the proximity. Static electricity could lead to
equipment failure.
Do not put a strong shock, including dropping, to this Switching Hub. Deviation could lead to
equipment failure.
Before connecting a console cable to the console port, discharge static electricity, for example
by touching metal appliance (do not discharge by touching this Switching Hub).
Do not store and/or use this Switching Hub in the environment with the characteristics listed
below.
(Store and/or use this Switching Hub in the environment in accordance with the specification.)
- High humidity. Possible spilled liquid (water).
- Dusty. Possible static charge (such as carpet).
- Under direct sunlight.
- Possible condensation. High/low temperature exceeding the specifications environment.
- Strong vibration and/or strong shock.
Failure to satisfy the conditions above may result in fire, electric shock, equipment failure,
and/or malfunction. Note that such events are not covered by the warranty.
Please use this Switching Hub where the ambient temperature is between 0 and 50°C (when
the fan is set to high speed, factory default settings) or 0 and 40°C (when the fan is set to low
speed).
Failure to meet the above conditions may result in fire, electric shock, breakdown, and/or
malfunction. Please take notice because such cases are out of guarantee.
Additionally, do not cover the bent hole of this Switching Hub.
Deviation could lead to high internal temperature, equipment failure and/or malfunction.
When using two Switching Hubs, do not stack them. When you place them side by side, allow
for a space of 20 mm or more between them.
When stacking Switching Hubs, leave a minimum of 20 mm space between them.

If an extension module other than the optional extension modules (PN54021K/PN54023K) is
inserted into the SFP extension slot, operation is not guaranteed. For the latest information
about compatible SFP extension modules, check our website.
1. Please note that Panasonic shall not bear any liability whatsoever for any damages

Product Outline
Switch-M48eG is an Ethernet Switching Hub with management function having 44 ports
of 10/100/1000BASE-T and 4 pairs 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and SFP extension slot,
one of which is selectable.
1.1 Features

 Has wire-speed Layer 2 switching function.
 Has a loop detection function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the
corresponding port LED and automatically shuts down the looped port.
In addition, when a port is shut down and when it automatically recovers, an SNMP
trap can be sent to notify the administrator.
 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.
 Embedded power saving mode detects the connection status automatically and
saves power consumption to minimum.
 Use of LED indicator switching button saves power consumption of LED lamps.
 Ports 1 to 48 are auto negotiation-ready 10/100/1000BASE-T ports. Their speed and
communication mode can be changed by configuration.
Ports 45-48 can be used as a 10/100/1000BASE-T port corresponding to auto
negotiation or an SFP extension slot exclusively.
 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 44 are set at MDI-X. (default))
 VLAN function allows free grouping of up to 256 VLANs.
 The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.
 Has an Internet Mansion function, which ensures security between each door.
 Has a port grouping function, which groups ports that are allowed to communicate
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.
 The IEEE802.1X compatible user authentication function (EAP-MD5/TLS/PEAP) is
supported.

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.
