Installation
Installing the P113F Stackable Switch
The procedure for getting the P113F Stackable Switch up and running depends on
whether the switch is to operate standalone or as part of a stack.
First, attach the adhesive rubber legs to the base of the switch. If the switch is to be
rack mounted, do not attach the legs.
Standalone Operation - Plug 'n' Play
Getting the switch working is quick and easy:
1. Connect the power cable to the switch,
2. Connect the cables to the front panel ports,
The switch is now fully operational. By default, all ports will operate in half
duplex mode.
To ensure proper ventilation, ensure that the P110 NMA slot is closed.
The P113F contains an on-board agent. If you want to upgrade the on-board
software to a higher version, see the Software Download section on page 15.
Stacking Operation
To make the P113F work as part of a stack (and to give SNMP management
capabilities to a single P113F), a P110 NMA with the correct software version is
required. See the P113F Stackable Switch Release Notes for the required version.
To check what software version you have, see the agent configuration window in
CajunView, or see the setup main menu of the P110 NMA.
1. Before adding a switch to the P110 stack, turn off the main power to the stack,
by individually switching off each hub
2. Place the P110 NMA in the top switch of the stack
3. If the P110 NMA and the P113F on-board agent contain the latest software
version, go to step 5.
4. If the P110 NMA does not contain the latest agent software, you should
perform a software download of the latest version. The software is on the
diskette that came with the P113F. Download is performed via TFTP using a
Terminal console or via the timed Download application from your
management station– details can be found in the P110 NMA installation
Guide. (The download procedure itself is the same as that described in the
Software Download section on page 20).
If the P113F on-board agent does not contain the latest version, perform the
download as described in Software Download to the On-Board Agent on
page 15.
5. Place the P113F switch in the stack. The P110 NMA must be in the top switch
of the stack.
To ensure proper ventilation, ensure that all empty P110 NMA slots in the
stack are closed.
