3. Cables
3.1 Ethernet Cables
The ESW-5242GP / ESW-5162GP switches have standard Ethernet ports. According to the link type, the switches use CAT
3, 4, 5,5e UTP cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs). Please refer to
the following table for cable specifications.
Cable Types and Specifications
Cable Type Max. Length Connector
10BASE-T Cat. 3, 4, 5 100-ohm UTP 100 m (328 ft) RJ-45
100BASE-TX Cat. 5 100-ohm UTP UTP 100 m (328 ft) RJ-45
1000BASE-TX Cat. 5/Cat. 5e 100-ohm UTP UTP 100 m (328ft) RJ-45
3.1.1 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T PIN ASSIGNMENTS
With 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T cable, pins 1 and 2 are used for transmitting data, and pins 3 and 6 are used for receiving
data.
RJ-45 Pin Assignments
Pin Number Assignment
1 TD+
2 TD-
3 RD+
4 Not used
5 Not used
6 RD-
7 Not used
8 Not used
The ESW-5242GP / ESW-5162GP switches support auto MDI/MDI-X operation. You can use a straight-through cable to
make a connection between PC and switch. The following table below shows the 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X
port pin outs.
MDI/MDI-X pins assignment
Pin Number MDI port MDI-X port
1 TD+(transmit) RD+(receive)

8 Not used Not used
Note: “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.
3.2 Fibers
The ESW-5242GP / ESW-5162GP switches have fiber optical ports with SFP connectors. The fiber optical ports are in
multi-mode (0 to 550M, 850 nm with 50/125 μm, 62.5/125 μm fiber) and single-mode with LC connector. Please
remember that the TX port of Switch A should be connected to the RX port of Switch B.

4. WEB Management
4.1 Configuration by Web Browser
This section introduces the configuration by Web browser.
4.1.1 ABOUT WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT
Inside the CPU board of the switch, an embedded HTML web site resides in flash memory. It contains advanced
management features and allows you to manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser
such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 5.0. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network
bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
Note: By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. You need to explicitly modify the
browser setting in order to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
4.1.2 PREPARING FOR WEB MANAGEMENT
The default value is as below:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254
User Name: admin
Password: admin
4.1.3 SYSTEM LOGIN
1. Launch the Internet Explorer.
2. Type http:// and the IP address of the switch. Press “Enter”.
3. The login screen appears.
4. Key in the username and password. The default username and password is “admin”.
5. Click “Enter” or ”OK” button, then the main interface of the Web-based management appears.

System information interface
4.1.6 IP CONFIGURATION
To configure the IP Settings and DHCP client function
DHCP Client: To enable or disable the DHCP client function. When DHCP client function is enabling, the industrial
switch will assign the IP address from the network DHCP server. The default IP address will be replaced by the
DHCP server assigned IP address. After user click “Apply” button, a popup dialog shows up. That is to inform
users that when the DHCP client is enabling, the current IP will lose and users should find the new IP on the DHCP
server.
IP Address: Assign the IP address which the network is using. If DHCP client function is enabling, users do not
need to assign the IP address. The network DHCP server will assign the IP address for the industrial switch and
display in this column. The default IP is 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: Assign the subnet mask of the IP address. If DHCP client function is enabling, users do not need to
assign the subnet mask
Gateway: Assign the network gateway for the industrial switch. The default gateway is 192.168.16.254
DNS1: Assign the primary DNS IP address
DNS2: Assign the secondary DNS IP address
And then, click Apply
