Chapter 2 Installing The Switch
C AUTION : Circuit devices are sensitive to static electricity, which can
damage their sensitive electronics. Dry weather conditions or walking
across a carpeted floor may cause users to acquire a static electrical
charge.
To protect your device, always:
Touch the metal chassis of your computer to ground the static electrical
charge before you pick up the electronic device.
It is recommended to use a surge arrester for all outdoor devices
Figure 3 Add a surge arrester between the outdoor device and the switch
NOTE:The switch is an indoor device; if used with outdoor devices
such as outdoor IP cameras or outdoor Wi-Fi APs, users must install a
surge arrester to protect the switch.
W ARNING :
Tampering, mishandling or improper installation of the device will
void manufacturer’s warranty.
Do not place the switch in outdoor environment.
Before installation, please make sure the input voltage meets the
product’s specified power requirements.
Before importing / exporting configuration file, please make sure the
firmware version is always the same.

Mounting the Switch in a 19-inch Rack
Step1. Attach the mounting brackets to both sides of the chassis with screws.
Figure 4 Attaching mounting brackets to the switch
Step2. Place the switch on a rack shelf in the rack. Push the switch in until the oval holes in the
brackets align with the mounting holes in the rack posts.
Step3. Screw in the mounting brackets to the rack posts.

Mounting the Switch on a Desk or Shelf
Step1. Verify that the workbench is sturdy and firmly grounded.
Step2. The rubber feet are included in the accessory kit. Attach the four adhesive rubber feet to the
bottom of the switch.

Connecting the AC Power Cord
Figure 7 Connecting the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle
Step1. Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle on the switch.
Step2. Connect the other end of the AC power cord to the AC power outlet.
Step3. If the power LED lights ON, then the power connection is functioning.
Installing SFP Modules
You can install or remove a mini-GBIC SFP from a mini-GBIC slot without having to power off the
switch. Use only Versa Technology’s mini-GBIC:
Step1. Insert the module into the switch port.
Step2. Press firmly to ensure that the module securely fits into the connector.

Chapter 3 Managing Switch Using the Web Interface
Manage the Switch Using a Web Browser
After you power up the switch for the first time, users can configure the switch using a web browser.
For more information about managing the switch, see the user-interface manual.
Figure 9 Web Interface login page
Step1. Power on the computer and the switch.
Step2. Plug in the power cable.
Step3. Set the IP configuration on your computer.
NOTE:
1. If the switch is using the default factory IP address of 192.168.1.1,
users must choose an IP address for the computer in the range of
192.168.1.1—192.168.1.253 that is not already in use.
2. If the IP address is assigned by a DHCP server, ensure the DHCP
server is running and can be reached from the switch and the
computer. It might be necessary to disconnect and reconnect the
devices for them to discover their new IP addresses from the DHCP
server.
Step4. Enter the username and password (The default username is “admin” and the password field
should remain empty.) Click “Login” to login on the switch configuration window.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Chart
The following table lists Issues, Causes, and Action to possible problems.
Table 4 Troubleshooting Chart
Issues
Cause
Action
SYSTEM LED Off
Power is not working.
Check the power cord connections for the
switch and the connected device.
Make sure that all cables used are correct
and comply with Ethernet specifications.
Link LED Off
Port connection is not working.
Check the crimp on the connectors.
Ensure that the plug is fully inserted
and locked into the port on both the
switch and the connected device.
Ensure that the correct cables are and
comply with Ethernet specifications.
Check for a defective adapter card,
cable, or port by testing it in an
alternate environment where all units
are functioning.
Slow file transfer
or performance
degradation.
Half- or full-duplex settings on
the switch and the connected
device are not the same.
Ensure that the attached device is set
to auto negotiate.
Check the system message log.
Device is not
recognized as
part of the
network.
One or more devices are not
properly connected, or cabling
does not meet Ethernet
guidelines.
Verify that the correct cabling is used.
Ensure that all connectors are securely
connected to the appropriate ports.
Equipment might have been accidentally
disconnected.
