Power Failure

As a precaution, the switch should be unplugged in case
of power failure. When power is resumed, plug the switch
back in.

Management Options

This system may be managed out-of-band through the
console port on the front/back panel or in-band using
Telnet. The user may also choose the web-based
management, accessible through a web browser. Each
Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is
used for communication with an SNMP network manager
or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP).
The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90. The user
can change the default Switch IP address to meet the
specification of your networking address scheme.

Web-based Management Interface

After a successful physical installation, you can configure
the switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics
graphi cal l y usi ng a web browser, such as Microsoft
Internet Expl orer (versi on 5.0 and hi gher).
You need the following equipment to begin the web
configuration of your device:
• A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
• A standard Ethernet cable
Step 1
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports in front
panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the PC.
Figure 7. Connected Ethernet cable
Step 2
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet
connection, the PC must have an IP address in the same
range as the switch. For example, if the switch has an
IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP
address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~
255 and z i s a number between 1~254), and a subnet
mask of 255.0.0.0.
Open your web browser and enter http://10.90.90.90
(the factory-default IP address) in the address box. Then
press <Enter>.

in the web browser
NOTE: The switch's factory default IP
address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet
mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default
gateway of 0.0.0.0

When the fol l owi ng l ogon di al og box appears, enter
Username and Password (by default leave them blank).
Then click OK. Thi s wi l l open the Web-based user

Connecting The Console Port

To connect to the serial port, a special Console Cable
must be used. This cable is included with this product's
packaging. The cable referred to as an RS-232 to RJ-45
connector cable specifically pinned to connect to this
switch's serial port by using the correct pin configuration.
To connect to the console port of the Switch, use the
following steps:
1. Connect the RS-232 end of the console cable to the
Serial Port of the management PC.
2. Connect the RJ-45 end of the console cable to the
Console Port of the Switch.
3. Open the HyperTerminal application (or any terminal
emulation program capable of emulating a VT-100
terminal connection) on the management PC and
configure the Properies of this connection.
a.The Bits per second should be 115200 baud.
b.The Data bits should be 8.
c.The Parity should be None.
d.The Stop bits should be 1.
e.The Flow control should be None.
