Management Methods
The 8 Port SNMP Managed Switch supports following management methods:
• Console and Telnet Management
• Web-based Management
• SNMP Network Management
Console and Telnet Management
Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the 24 Port SNMP
Managed Switch in this method requires a direct connection between PC and the 8 Port SNMP
Managed Switch. While Telnet management is done over the network. Once the 8 Port SNMP
Managed Switch is on the network, you can use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.
The automatic log-out times is currently set at less than 1 minute, however this duration will be
extended in the next software release.
Web Based Management
The switch can be managed using a standard web browser that supports Java applets. This
interface has the same functionality as the console/Telnet interfaces but is more user-friendly.
See page 38 for details.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and control a
network device, and to manage configurations, statistic collection, performance and security.
Data is passed from SNMPagents, which are hardware & software processes reporting activity
in each network device to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The agent
returns information contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data
structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled.

Expansion Slots for Option Modules
10/100Base-TX Auto MDI/MDIX RJ-45 Ports
The 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ports auto-negotiate speed and duplex mode for 10Base-T or
100Base-TX device connection. The auto-MDI/MDIX function enables the direct connection
another switch or workstation without needing to select either a straight or cross-over cable.
100Base-FX Fibre Port
The switch has a dedicated fibre uplink port that operates at 100Mbit/s. This port can also be
configured to half or full duplex operation.

Rear Panel
The 3-pronged power socket and the On/Off switch are located at the rear panel of the switch.
The switch operates over the range 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz without adjustment.
Console Port
The switch can be fully managed using the console port providing a direct connection between
the switch and an end station such as a PC via the supplied RS-232 cable. See page 12 for
details.

Diagnostic Test
After the installation is completed andAC power is applied to the Switch, the system will
automatically perform a diagnostic test. If a console session is active at this time then it is
possible to see each stage of this start-up and test procedure as it is carried out.
This procedure will take up to 3 minutes to complete; please be patient!!
Upon completion the switch will start in a default condition and begin to pass traffic.

Installation
Pre-Installation Requirements
Before you start hardware installation, make sure your installation environment has below
items:
PC with 10/100Mbps Ethernet NICs / 100Mbps Fiber NICs:
Your PC must have a standard Ethernet RJ-45 interface to connect to the Switches copper port.
UTP cable with RJ45 connectors: Ensure that you use a tested cable.
AC Power: 100 to 240V AC at 50/60 Hz: Make sure that the power is accessible and the AC
power cable can be and disconnected and connected easily.
Dedicated power supply: Use dedicated AC or power conditioners to supply reliable
electrical power to the network devices.
Adry cool place: Keep the Switch away from moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, sources of heat,
and a high amount of electromagnetic interference.
 Mounting tools: If you intend to mount the Switch in a rack, make sure you have allthe tools,
mounting brackets, screws etc.
Caution:
Cabling must be away from sources of electrical noise such as radio, computers, transmitters,
broadband amplifiers, power lines etc.
Airflow around the Switch and through its vents on the rear must not be restricted.
Mounting the Switch
The 8 Port SNMP Managed Switch is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be
rack-mounted in standard EIA19-inch racks or standalone. Ensure that you order the mounting
brackets if you intend to rackmount the switch.
Desktop Mounting
Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby, and near the center
of all networked devices.
Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease dust free.
Remove adhesive backing from the supplied rubber feet.

Figure 3-1. Attaching Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the
Switch
Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These footpads can prevent
the Switch from shock/vibrations.
Caution: Do not place objects on top of the Switch.

Connecting to the Switch
The Console port is a male DB-9connector located onthe front panel of the switchthat enables
a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuration. Use the supplied RS-232
cable with a female DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or PC to the Console port.
The Console configuration allows you to program the Switch to enable a user at a remote
location to communicate with the unit as if the console terminal were directly connected.
