Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
This manual contains important instructions and warnings that
should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of
this Tripp Lite product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect
your warranty.
Switch Location Warnings
• The switch is designed for indoor use only, in a controlled environment, away from excess
moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, maintain an indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C
and 40º C) with relative humidity between 10% and 90% (non-condensing).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the switch for proper ventilation.
• Keep the switch away from high-frequency, strong-current devices (e.g., radio transmitting
stations, transmitters and broadband amplifiers).
• Use electromagnetic shielding (if required).
• For rackmount configuration, ensure that both the rack and switch are properly grounded.
• If the switch is not rack mounted, securely place it on a sturdy, flat surface.
• The electrical outlets supplying power to the equipment should be installed near the
equipment and easily accessible.
• Improper installation can cause product damage that is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not expose the network switch’s connected networking cables to outdoor elements.
• Do not use this product near water (e.g., in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool).
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment
can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to
significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
Switch Connection Warnings
• Keep the switch’s input power off during installation.
• Use only the power adapter included with the switch.
• Make sure the power supply voltage matches the specifications indicated on the switch.
• Connect the switch to an outlet that is in accordance with your local building codes and
that is adequately protected against excess currents, short circuits and earth faults.
• Do not connect the switch to an ungrounded outlet or to extension cords or adapters that
eliminate the connection to ground.
• Do not drill into or attempt to open any part of the switch housing. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
• Do not attempt to modify the switch, including the input plugs and power cables.
• Do not attempt to use the switch if any part of it becomes damaged.
• Make sure network cables are properly seated. A clicking sound will be made when a
cable is installed correctly.
• If the power adapter is damaged, do not attempt to connect the switch. Contact a
Tripp Lite Service Representative for assistance.
• Never attempt to install or use the switch during a thunderstorm.

Product Features
1Power ON/OFF LED: An LED illuminates to indicate the switch is receiving power.
2Gigabit Ethernet Ports: 8, 16, or 24 twisted-pair RJ45 ports support auto-negotiable
10/100/1000 Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX cross-over detection functions for true “plug-
and-play” capability.
Note: Not compatible with PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications.
3Gigabit Port Status LEDs: For 10/100 Mbps connections, these LEDs illuminate
orange (NGS8C2 and NGS16C2 models) or amber (NGS24C2 model) and blink to
indicate activity on each port. When the switch discovers a 1000 Mbps connection, the
LEDs will illuminate green (all models) for connection status and blink to indicate activity
on each port.
4SFP Port LEDs: The green LED is ON when a connection is present and blinks when the
port is active.
5SFP Ports: The SFP (small form-factor pluggable) ports are connection points for Mini-
GBIC modules and Direct SFP cables so the switch can uplink to other switches using
optical fiber or copper. When the SFP ports are active, the associated LEDs will react to
interface traffic.
6Console Port: This RJ45 port is used for command line access to the switch.
7Reset Button: Pressing the reset button for 5 seconds performs a factory reset. The
system restores the factory defaults when the reset occurs.
8AC Input: This 100-240V 50/60 Hz C14 inlet accepts the supplied AC power cord or
any country-specific AC power cord supplied by the user.
9Equipment Grounding Lug (NGS16C2 and NGS24C2 Only): Use this screw to
connect devices that require a chassis ground connection.

Configuration
Accessing the Management Configuration Interface
After powering the switch for the first time, the Network Gigabit Smart Switch can be
configured using a Web browser. To access the switch, the management computer and the
switch must be set to the same subnet. The IP address of the management computer must
be configured manually. The switch’s default IP address is 192.168.2.1 and the default
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The default username and password are case-sensitive.
The default username is admin and the default password is admin.
The Network Gigabit Smart Switch contains software for viewing, monitoring and
management. This management software is not required for the switch to function. The
ports can be used without the management software. However, the management software
enables setup of VLAN, Trunking and other additional features. The use of these features
can improve the efficiency of the switch, which will result in improved overall performance
for both the hardware and the network.
For more information about configuring the switch, visit www.tripplite.com and access the
NGS-Series Network Gigabit Smart Switch Web Configuration Guide.
