1. Introduction
1-1. Overview of the 8xGE PoE + 1xGE SFP Web Smart PoE
Switch
The 9-port Gigabit Web Smart PoE Switch is a standard switch that meets all
IEEE 802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. The switch has 8
10/100/1000Mbps TP ports and 1GigabitSFP transceiver slot. It supports http
interface for switch management. The network administrator can logon the switch to
monitor, configure and control each port’s activity. In addition, the switch implements
the QoS (Quality of Service), VLAN, and Trunking. It is suitable for office application.
The switch also implements the support of Power saving for reducing the
power consumption using the "ActiPHY Power Management" and "Perfect Reach
Power Management" techniques. They enable efficient saving the switch power by
automatically detecting the idle clients and cable length and thus provide different
power.
10/100/1000Mbps TP is a standard Ethernet port that meets all IEEE
802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. 1000Mbps SFP Fiber transceiver
is a Gigabit Ethernet port that fully complies with 1000Base-SX/LX standards.
1000Mbps Single Fiber WDM (BiDi)transceiver is designed with an optic
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology that transports bi-directional
full duplex signal simultaneously over a single fiber.
•Key Features in the Device
QoS:
The switch offers powerful QoS function. This function supports 802.1p
VLAN tag priority and DSCP on Layer 3 of network framework.
VLAN:
The switch supports Port-based VLAN, IEEE802.1Q Tag VLAN, for 9 active
VLANs and VLAN ID 1~4094.
Port Trunking:
Allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a Link
Aggregation Group by the static setting.
Power Saving:
The Power saving feature utilizes the "ActiPHY Power Management" and
"PerfectReach Power Management" techniques to detect the idle clients
and cable length automatically and thus supplies different power to each
port.
PoE:
The 8 PoE ports allow power to be supplied to end devices, such as
Wireless Access Points or VoIP Phones, directly through the existing LAN
cables, eliminating costs for additional AC wiring and reducing installation

cost. The PoE feature is compliant with IEEE802.3at/af standard. The
switch provides the endpoint with 54VDC power through RJ-45 pin 1, 2, 3,
6.A total of 130 watts power (up 16.25 watts for 8 ports) is provided.
Broadcast Storm Protection：
Prevents traffic on a LAN from being disrupted by a broadcast storm on a
port.

2-1. Starting 9-PortGbE Web Smart PoE Switch Up
This section will give users a quick start for:
- Hardware and Cable Installation
- Management Station Installation
- Software booting and configuration
2-1-1. Hardware and Cable Installation
At the beginning, please do first:
Wear a grounding device to avoid the damage from electrostatic discharge
Be sure that power switch is OFF before you insert the power cord to power
source
•Installing Optional SFP Fiber Transceivers to the 9-PortGbE Web Smart
Switch
Note: If you have no modules, please skip this section.
•Connecting the SFP Module to the Chassis:
The optional SFP modules are hot swappable, so you can plug or unplug it
before or after powering on.

1. Verify that the SFP module is the right model and conforms to the chassis
2. Slide the module along the slot. Also be sure that the module is properly
seated against the slot socket/connector
3. Install the media cable for network connection
4. Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each module to be installed into
slot(s)
5. Have the power ON after the above procedures are done
•TP Port and Cable Installation
In the switch, TP port supports MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover, so both types of
cable, straight-through (Cable pin-outs for RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 1, 2, 3, 6 in
10/100M TP; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 in Gigabit TP) and
crossed-over (Cable pin-outs for RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 3, 6, 1, 2) can be used.
It means you do not have to tell from them, just plug it.
Use Cat. 5 grade RJ-45 TP cable to connect to a TP port of the switch and the
other end is connected to a network-aware device such as a workstation or a
server.
Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each RJ-45 port to be connected to a
Gigabit 10/100/1000 TP device.
Now, you can start having the switch in operation.
•Power On
The switch supports 100-240 VAC power supply. The power supply will
automatically convert the local AC power source to DC power. It does not matter
whether any connection plugged into the switch or not when power on, even
modules as well. After the power is on, all LED indicators will light up and then all off
except the power LED still keeps on. This represents a reset of the system.
•Firmware Loading
After resetting, the bootloader will load the firmware into the memory. It will
take about 30 seconds, after that, the switch will flash all the LED once and
automatically performs self-test and is in ready state.

2-1-2. Cabling Requirements
To help ensure a successful installation and keep the network performance good,
please take a care on the cabling requirement. Cables with worse specification will render the
LAN to work poorly.
2-1-2-1. Cabling Requirements for TP Ports
For Fast Ethernet TP network connection
The grade of the cable must be Cat. 5 or Cat. 5e with a maximum length of
100 meters.
Gigabit Ethernet TP network connection
The grade of the cable must be Cat. 5 or Cat. 5e with a maximum length of
100 meters. Cat. 5e is recommended.
2-1-2-2. Cabling Requirements for 1000SX/LXSFP Module
It is more complex and comprehensive contrast to TP cabling in the fiber
media. Basically, there are two categories of fiber, multi-mode (MM) and single
mode (SM). The later is categorized into several classes by the distance it supports.
They are SX, LX, LHX, XD, and ZX. From the viewpoint of connector type, there
mainly are LC and BIDI SC.
Gigabit Fiber with multi-mode LC SFP module
Gigabit Fiber with single-mode LC SFP module
Gigabit Fiber with BiDi SC 1310nm SFP module
Gigabit Fiber with BiDi SC 1550nm SFP module

2-1-2-3. Switch Cascading in Topology
•Takes the Delay Time into Account
Theoretically, the switch partitions the collision domain for each port in switch
cascading that you may up-link the switches unlimitedly. In practice, the network
extension (cascading levels & overall diameter) must follow the constraint of the
IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3z and other 802.1 series protocol specifications, in which
the limitations are the timing requirement from physical signals defined by 802.3
series specification of Media Access Control (MAC) and PHY, and timer from some
OSI layer 2 protocols such as 802.1d, 802.1q, LACP and so on.
The fiber, TP cables and devices’ bit-time delay (round trip) are as follows:
1000Base-X TP, Fiber 100Base-TX TP 100Base-FX Fiber
Round trip Delay: 4096 Round trip Delay: 512
Cat. 5 TP Wire: 11.12/m Cat. 5 TP Wire: 1.12/m Fiber Cable: 1.0/m
Fiber Cable : 10.10/m TP to fiber Converter: 56
Bit Time unit : 1ns (1sec./1000 Mega bit) Bit Time unit: 0.01s (1sec./100 Mega bit)
Table 2-2
Sum up all elements’ bit-time delay and the overall bit-time delay of
wires/devices must be within Round Trip Delay (bit times) in a half-duplex network
segment (collision domain). For full-duplex operation, this will not be applied. You
may use the TP-Fiber module to extend the TP node distance over fiber optic and
provide thelong haul connection.
•Typical Network Topology in Deployment
A hierarchical network with minimum levels of switch may reduce the timing
delay between server and client station. Basically, with this approach, it will
minimize the number of switches in any one path; will lower the possibility of
network loop and will improve network efficiency. If more than two switches are
connected in the same network, select one switch as Level 1 switch and connect all
other switches to it at Level 2. Server/Host is recommended to connect to the Level
1 switch. This is general if no VLAN or other special requirements are applied.

Case1: All switch ports are in the same local area network. Every port can access
each other (See Fig. 2-2) *
If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can
communicate each other directly is bounded in the same VLAN area.
Here VLAN area is defined by what VLAN you are using. The switch
supports both port-based VLAN and tag-based VLAN. They are different in practical
deployment, especially in physical location. The following diagram shows how it
works and what the difference they are.
Case2a: Port-based VLAN (See Fig.2-3). *
1. The same VLAN members could not be in different switches.
2. Every VLAN members could not access VLAN members each other.
3. The switch manager has to assign different names for each VLAN groups
at one switch.
