Console Configuration
Connect to the switch console:
Connect the DB9 straight cable to the RS-232 serial port of the device
and the RS-232 serial port of the terminal or computer running the
terminal emulation application. Direct access to the administration
console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped
with a terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the
switch console port.
Configuration settings of the terminal-emulation program:
Baud rate: 115,200bps
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bit: 1
Flow control: none
Press the “Enter” key. The Command Line Interface (CLI) screen should
appear as below:
Logon to Exec Mode (View Mode):
At the “switch_a login:”prompt just type in “root” and press <Enter> to
logon to Exec Mode (or View Mode). And the “switch_a>” prompt will
show on the screen.

Managed Ethernet Switch
User’s Manual 4
Logon to Privileged Exec Mode (Enable Mode):
At the “switch_a>” prompt just type in “enable” and press <Enter> to
logon to Privileged Exec Mode (or Enable Mode). And the “switch_a#”
prompt will show on the screen.
Logon to Configure Mode (Configure Terminal Mode):
At the “switch_a#” prompt just type in “configure terminal” and press
<Enter> to logon to Configure Mode (or Configure Terminal Mode). And
the “switch_a(config)#” prompt will show on the screen.
Set new IP address and subnet mask for Switch:
At the “switch_a(config)#” prompt just type in “interface vlan1.1” and
press <Enter> to logon to vlan 1 (vlan1.1 means vlan 1). And the
“switch_a(config-if)#” prompt will show on the screen.
Command Syntax: “ip address A.B.C.D/M”. “A.B.C.D” specifies IP
address. “M” specifies IP subnet mask. “M”= 8: 255.0.0.0,
16:255.255.0.0, or 24: 255.255.255.0.
For example, At the “switch_a(config-if)#” prompt just type in “ip address
192.168.1.10/24” and press <Enter> to set new IP address
(192.168.1.10) and new IP subnet mask (255.255.255.0) for Switch.

Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step instructions about how to
install the switch:
Selecting a Site for the Switch
As with any electric device, you should place the switch
where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures,
humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the
site you select should meet the following requirements:
-The ambient temperature should be between 32℉to 113℉(0°C to 45℃).
-The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
-Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field
(RFC) standards.
-Make sure that the switch receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the
ventilation holes on each side of the switch.
Connecting to Power
AC power supply:
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the back
of the switch, and then plug it into a standard AC outlet with a
voltage range from 100 to 240 VAC. Turn on the AC power switch
at the back panel to turn on the switch.
Step 2: Turn off the AC switch if you want to shut down the switch.

Cabling
Step 1: First, ensure the power of the switch and end devices are turned off.
<Note> Always ensure that the power is off before any installation.
Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port
in use.
Step 3: Consult Cable Specifications Table on previous page for cabling
requirements based on connectors and speed.
Step 4: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a
desired device.
Step 5: Once the connections between two end devices are made
successfully, turn on the power and the switch is operational.

Switch Management
This chapter explains the methods that you can use to
configure management access to the switch. It describes the
types of management applications and the communication
and management protocols that deliver data between your
management device (workstation or personal computer) and
the system. It also contains information about port connection
options.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Management Access Overview
• Key Concepts
• Key Guidelines for Implementation
• Web ManagementAccess
• Administration Console Access
• SNMPAccess
• Standards, Protocols, and Related Reading
Management Access Overview
The switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage the
switch using any or all of the following methods.
The web browser interface and administration console (CLI)
support are embedded in the switch software and are
available for immediate use.
