2.3 Multiple Functions of DIP Switch
The front panel of the Multigigabit Ethernet Switch provides one DIP switch for
Standard or VLAN mode selection. The detailed descriptions are shown in the
following table.
DIP Switch Mode Function
This mode operate as a general switch and all ports
operate at 10/100/1000/2500Mbps auto-negotiation.
All ports can communicate with one another.
This mode operate as a VLAN isolation switch and Ports
1 to 8 will isolate respectively.
Ports 1 to 8 can only communicate with port 9.
Please adjust the DIP switch before powering on the Multigigabit
Ethernet Switch.

AC Power Receptacle
The device is a power-required device, which means it will not
work till it is powered. If your networks should be active all the
time, please consider using UPS (uninterrupted power supply)
for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or
network downtime.
In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also
help to protect your Multigigabit Ethernet Switch from being
damaged by unregulated surge or current to the Multigigabit
Ethernet Switch or the power adapter.

Step 2: Place the Multigigabit Ethernet Switch on the desktop near an AC
power source.
Step 3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Multigigabit Ethernet
Switch and the surrounding objects.
When choosing a location, please keep in mind the environ-
mental restrictions discussed in Section 3 under Product Speci-
fications.
Step 4: Connect your Multigigabit Ethernet Switch to network devices.
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the
10/100/1000/2500BASE-T RJ45 ports on the front of the
Multigigabit Ethernet Switch.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such
as printer servers, workstations or routers, etc.

9
Step 5: Supply power to the Multigigabit Ethernet Switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the Multigigabit Ethernet
Switch.
B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall
outlet.
When the Multigigabit Ethernet Switch receives power, the Power LED should
remain solid Green.
3.2 Rack Mounting
To install the Multigigabit Ethernet Switch in a 19-inch standard rack, follow
the instructions described below:
Step 1: Place your Multigigabit Ethernet Switch on a hard at surface, with
the front panel positioned towards your front side.
Step 2: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Switch with supplied
screws attached to the package. Figure 3 shows how to attach
brackets to one side of the Multigigabit Ethernet Switch.

Caution:
You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused
to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.
Step 3: Secure the brackets tightly.
Step 4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite
side.
Step 5: After the brackets are attached to the Multigigabit Ethernet Switch,
use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack, as
shown in Figure 4.

Step 6: Proceed with Steps 4 and 5 of Desktop Installation to connect the
network cabling and supply power to your Multigigabit Ethernet
Switch.
3.3 Installing the SFP+ Transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP+ transceiver into an SFP+ slot.
The SFP+ transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug in
and out the transceiver to/from any SFP+ port without having to power down
the Multigigabit Ethernet Switch, as Figure 5 shows.

It is recommended to use PLANET SFP+ on the Multigigabit
Ethernet Switch. If you insert an SFP+ transceiver that is not
supported, the Multigigabit Ethernet Switch will not recognize it.
 10GBASE-X SR/LR:
Before connecting the other switches, workstation or media converter, please
do the following:
1. Make sure both sides of the SFP+ transceiver are with the same media
type; for example, 10GBASE-SR to 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR to 10GBASE-
LR.
2.Check whether the ber-optic cable type matches the SFP+ transceiver
model.
To connect to 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver, use the multi-mode ber
cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
 To connect to 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver, use the single-mode ber
cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
 Connecting the ber cable
1. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable to the SFP+ trans-
ceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device like a switch with SFP+
installed,workstationwithberNICormediaconverter.
 Removing the Transceiver Module
1. Make sure there is no network activity by consulting or checking with the
network administrator. Or through the management interface of the switch/
converter (if available) to disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the Fiber Optic Cable gently.
3. Turn the lever of the MTB module to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.

Figure 6: Pulling Out from the Transceiver
Never pull out the module without pulling the lever or the push
bolts on the module. Directly pulling out the module with effort
could damage the module and SFP+ module slot of the Multi-
gigabit Ethernet Switch.
 2.5G/1G/100/10BASE-T
The 2.5G/1G/100/10BASE-T port comes with auto-negotiation capability. It
automatically supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1GBASE-T and 2.5GBASE-T
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into the
2.5G/1G/100/10BASE-T port, and then turn on the Multigigabit Ethernet
Switch. The port will automatically run at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps and
2500Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.
 Connecting the UTP Cable
The 2.5G/1G/100/10BASE-T port uses RJ45 socket -- similar to phone jack --
for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP).
The 802.3/802.3u/802.3ab/802.3bz/802.3ae Ethernet standard requires Category
5 UTP for 10/100Mbps while 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX. 2.5G/1G/100/10BASE-T
uses Cat5e/6/6A/7 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100 meters
(328 feet).
