Rack Mount Installation
The S3290-RMB can be used to mount an S3290 on a 19 inch Rack. See the S3290 Single Rack Mount
Ear Bracket Install Guide, 33659 for more information.
DIN Rail Installation (WMBD)
Din Rail Brackets allow stand-alone media converters to be mounted to a Din Rail, common in industrial
environments, in either a flat mount against the Din Rail or in a vertical mount in which the S3290 mounts
on its edge.
To install the S3290 in a standard DIN Rail, follow the instructions provided with the Wall Mount Bracket
DIN (WMBD) shown below:
Wall Mount Installation (WMBL)
Wall Mount Brackets are small simple “L-shaped” tabs that allow a single S3290 to be mounted anywhere
needed. The brackets are sold in pairs and are available in several sizes and types to match the different
sized media converters and space requirements.
A Wall Mount Kit is required for S3290 wallmount installations. When mounting on a wall ensure that:
•The mounting surface and fasteners used can support the S3290, mounting kit, plus cable pull.
•Cable pull does not exceed the limit.
•The S3290 install position allows proper ventilation.
To mount the S3290 on a wall:
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, align the WMBL brackets with the holes on the side of the S3290 and
attach with the screws provided.
2. Secure to the wall using the screws provided.
The Wall Mount Bracket Long (WMBL) is shown below:

Transition Networks, Inc. S3290 Install Guide
33594 Rev. D https://www.transition.com Page 10 of 30
Grounding and Wiring Recommendations
CAUTION Connect the S3290 to a well-grounded surface. Failure to observe this caution could
result in electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems.
The S3290 can eliminate the effects of noise due to EMI via proper grounding. Always run the ground
connection from the ground screw to the grounded surface before connecting power.
The following wiring considerations are recommended:
•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and device data cables. If power wiring and device
data cables must cross, make sure that the wires are perpendicular at the intersection points.
•DO NOT run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same conduit. To avoid
interference, wire with different signal characteristics should be wired separately.
•Keep input and output wires separated.
•Label the wiring to all devices in the system for clarity.
No power ON/OFF Switch: The S3290 does not include a power ON/OFF switch; therefore, when power is
applied to the switch, it immediately powers Up.
Back Panel
The S3290 back panel is shown and described below.
RESET: The RESET button functions include:
1) Press and immediately release the RESET button to :
a. Restart the device.
2) Press and hold the RESET button for more than 5 seconds to:
a. Load the factory default configuration,
b. copy the running-configuration to the startup-configuration,
c. restart the device in factory default configuration (note that this resets the unit IP address).
The RESET button can be disabled (ignored) via the CLI. Refer to the S3290 CLI Reference manual.
Note: Restoring factory default can also be performed by making a physical loopback between port 1 and
port 2 within the first minute after switch reboot. In the first minute after boot, 'loopback' packets will be
transmitted at port 1. If a 'loopback' packet is received at port 2, then the switch will do a restore to defaults.
Press the Enter key to display the logon sequence, and then enter your User Name and Password.

ALARMS:Alarm inputs and outputs are RJ-45 connector with 2-IN and 2-OUT; 10-30VDC, 40mA
maximum; optically isolated from main board. You can connect up to two alarm inputs from external devices
in your environment (e.g., a fire alarm, a door, a temperature gauge) to the alarm input port on the switch
front panel. The figure below shows the location of the alarm pinouts. For each alarm input, you can
configure an open or closed circuit to trigger an alarm and configure the severity of the alarm. A triggered
alarm generates a system message. If you enter a descriptive name for the alarm, that name is included in
the system message. A triggered alarm also turns on the LED display. The LED is normally off, meaning no
alarm condition exists.
You can set the alarm severity to Info, Warning, or Error. The severity is included in the alarm message and
also sets the S2 LED color when the alarm is triggered. The S2 LED is amber for an Info alarm, red for a
Warning alarm, and blinking red for an Error alarm. If not set, the default alarm severity is Info.
You can use the S3290 web GUI or CLI to configure alarm contacts; see the related manual for details.

CONSOLE:RJ-45 serial port 115200 baud CLI port. The S3290 RJ-45 console port allows root access to
its CLI (Command Line Interface) via a computer, regardless of the state of the switch (unless it is
completely dead). By connecting to the console port, out-of-band remote access to the CLI of the switch is
possible. This creates a secondary path to the switch outside the bandwidth of the network, which needs to
be secured without relying on the primary network.
DC INPUT:21-60 VDC EuroBlock. One of two power input options (not redundant power inputs).
CAUTION : only one power input should be connected at any time.
Strain Relief:
Provides an optional means to offload cable strain.
12V DC: The barrel input requires 12VDC +/-5%. One of two power input options (not
redundant power inputs).
CAUTION : only one power input should be connected at any time.
Grounding Lug: Provides an option for grounding the S3290. See “Grounding and
Wiring Recommendations” on page 10.

Front Panel
The S3290 front panels are shown and described below.
S3290-24 (above) / S3290-42 (below).
MGMT / PORT 1: Port1 (MGMT) is a normal data port, but by default it will be in a
separate private VLAN (PVLAN 1) that you can remove. You can enable or disable out-
of-band management on PORT 1. PORT 1 can be optionally configured to support
either out-of-band management or it can be used as a normal data UNI/NNI port.
See Connecting Via the MGMT Port / Web GUI on page 18. By default, PORT 1 is enabled as a
Management port with a default IP and subnet mask. See Factory Defaults on page 19. Full instructions for
disabling the management function and how to use the port as a normal data port are provided in the CLI
Reference and Web User Guide manuals.See also Switching MGMT / PORT 1 Modes on page 21.
GigabitEthernet 1/1 (Port 1) is configured by default to act as a management port. This is achieved by
placing Port 1 in Private VLAN 6 which isolated traffic at layer 2 on this port from other front ports which are
by default placed into Private VLAN 1.
PORT 2 - PORT 4 (or PORT 1 & 2): Ethernet RJ-45 (10M/100M/1 Gbps) twisted pair ports (IEEE
10/100/1000Base-T interfaces). The Port 1 and Port 2 (or PORT 1-4) LEDs are shown and
described below:
LED1: Link/Activity/Duplex: ON = Link, OFF= No link
BLINK = Activity
Green = Full duplex, Yellow = Half duplex
LED2: Speed: Green = 1000Mbs, Yellow = 100Mbs, OFF = 10Mbs
PORT 5 & 6 (or PORT 3 - PORT 6 on the S3290-42): Two (or four) SGMII interfaces. The Serial Gigabit
Media-independent Interface (SGMII) interfaces can operate at multiple speeds of 100M/1G/2.5G bps.
P3 - P6 LED (P5 - P6 on the S3290-42): fiber link status. When lit in green,indicates a 1G fiber
link / activity. When lit in amber, indicates a 100M fiber link / activity. When off indicates no fiber
link established.
PWR LED: Green Power LED: On = power applied to the PC board. Flashes Green during S3290 boot up.
S1 LED: System Status LED (Bi-color Green and Amber):
During boot up – Amber
Normal operation – Green
Firmware upgrade – Flashes Green
Fatal condition logged – Flashes Amber

Transition Networks, Inc. S3290 Install Guide
33594 Rev. D https://www.transition.com Page 14 of 30
S2 LED: S2 is used for alarms. You can set the alarm severity to Info, Warning, or Error.
The severity is included in the alarm message and also sets the S2 LED color when the alarm is
triggered. The S2 LED is amber for an Info alarm, red for a Warning alarm, and blinking red for
an Error alarm. If not set, the default alarm severity is Info. See the back panel ALARMS port
description on page 13.
S2 LED is green when at least one alarm source is being monitored (enabled) if the severity level is Info.
S2 LED is amber when at least one event source has triggered if the severity level is Warning.
S2 LED is flashing amber when at least one event source has triggered if the severity level is Error.
S2 LED is off when all event sources are disabled if the severity level is Error.
Connecting Power
You can connect S3290 power either via the 12V DC Connector or via the
DC INPUT Connector (not redundant power inputs).
CAUTION : only one power input should be connected at any time.
Note that when power is initially applied (or when power is recycled) the S3290
front panel LEDs all light for approximately 10 seconds. Some LEDs will remain lit,
depending on the S3290 operating status and port connections.
Power via the 12V DC (Barrel) Connector
Connct the Barrel connector to the DC INPUT Connector.
Power via the DC INPUT (EuroBlock) Connector
DC INPUT:21-60 VDC EuroBlock (Terminal Block). The procedures below describe how to
remove the terminal block, connect the Power wires to the Terminal Block, and then reinstall the
terminal block and verify the Power wire connections.
Removing the Terminal Block (TB)
1. Loosen the “2” mounting screws that attach the “primary” Terminal Block (TB) to the S3290 chassis.
2. Pull the TB from the S3290 chassis connector as shown below.
.
Notes: It is a good practice to turn OFF input and load power, and unplug the power Terminal Block before
making wire connections. Otherwise, a metal screwdriver blade can inadvertently short the terminal
connections to the grounded enclosure. However, in some instances this is not possible as this may be a
bussed power rail providing power to numerous other devices.

Transition Networks, Inc. S3290 Install Guide
33594 Rev. D https://www.transition.com Page 15 of 30
Also note:
•The range of suitable wire for the terminal block is 12 to 26 AWG.
•The power source must be safety certified.
Connecting Power Wires to the Terminal Block
1. Strip the wires to the proper length.
2. Insert the positive and negative power wires into V+ and V- contacts respectively of the Terminal Block
(note polarity on the chassis of the switch). Make sure the wires are secure. See figure below.
3. Insert the positive and negative power wires into V+ and V- contacts respectively into the power
source—make sure the wires are secure. See the figures above. Insert the positive and negative power
wires into V+ and V- contacts respectively into the power source—make sure the wires are secure.
See the figure below.
Reinstalling the Terminal Block and verifying power wire connections
4. Reinstall the Terminal Block into the primary location on the S3290.
5. Tighten the two screws to secure the Terminal Block to the S3290 chassis.
6. Turn the power source ON and observe that the green front panel PWR (power) LED is lit, indicating
that power is applied to the S3290.

Visible and invisible laser radiation when open: DO NOT stare into the beam or view the beam directly with
optical instruments. Failure to observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius—any arc smaller than a few inches in
diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Installing SFPs
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare-metal grounded surface.
2. Have a replacement SFP or a transceiver-cage plug ready, as well as an antistatic mat and a rubber
safety cap for the SFP.
3. Locate the proper fiber cable.
4. Position the cable at the SFP as shown below.
Caution: Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module to prevent damage to the fiber
cable.
5. Insert the fiber cable ends completely into the SFP as shown below.
6. Insert the SFP fully into the cage as shown below.
Removing SFPs
7. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare-metal grounded surface.
8. Have a replacement SFP or a transceiver-cage plug ready, as well as an antistatic mat and a rubber
safety cap for the SFP.
9. Disconnect the LC cable for the SFP.
10. Pull the bale clasp handle out from the SFP to unlock the SFP.

Factory Defaults
The S3290 comes with the following defaults:
DHCP
Ipv4 Address
Ipv6 Address
Enabled
192.168.0.1
::192.0.2.1
Note: after power up, the S3290 has DHCP enabled. If a DHCP server is available, the S3290 will obtain an
IP address from the DHCP server. If no DHCP server is available, after 70 seconds, the S3290 will fall back
to the default IP address of 192.168.0.1/24.
Static IP configuration
You can change the defaults via the CLI. Note: you may want to save the existing config to startup config
first by using the copy running-config command. See the CLI Reference manual for details. To manually
configure the IP address:
1. At the command prompt type # configure terminal and press the Enter key to enter config mode.
2. Enter the command (config)# interface vlan 1 and press the Enter key to enter the interface config
mode.
3. Set the IP to 192.168.1.110 and subnet to 255.255.255.0 (substitute what you would like the static IP
and subnet to be). You can change the current IP address using the following command:
(config-if-vlan)# ip address 192.168.1.110 255.255.255.0
See the S3290 CLI Reference manual for CLI command information for CLI details.
4. To verify the change, you can log in to the S3290 Web GUI using IP address 192.168.1.110. See the
S3290 Web User Guide for more information.
