This guide discusses how to install your 24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch. Terms/Usage In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) refers to your 24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch, and “switch” (first letter lower case) refers to other Ethernet...
N T R O D U C T I O N This chapter describes the features of the 24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity...
Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.

LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead. Other VLAN utility include: Security Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in eavesdropping on a broadcast network because data will be switched to only those confidential users within the VLAN.
Features 24×10/100Mbps Auto-negotiation Ethernet ports All ports support auto-MDIX, so there is no need to use cross-over cables or an up-link port Full/half duplex transfer mode for each port Wire speed reception and transmission Store-and-Forward switching scheme capability to support rate adaptation and ensure data integrity...
One console serial cable This User’s Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Installation The site where you install the Switch stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:...
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges. Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
Figure 1. Installing the bracket with the provided screws Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the Switch on to the rack. Figure 2. Mounting the Switch on to the rack Connecting Network Cable The Switch supports 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and it runs both in half and full duplex mode.
AC Power The Switch requires AC power supply of 100~240V AC, 50~60 Hz. The Switch does not come with a Power ON/OFF switch, so the Switch will automatically power on when it is connected to an electrical outlet. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on without having any LAN segment cables connected.
“plug and play” capability. Console Port An RS-232 DCE console port is used to setup and manage the Switch via a connection to a console terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program (e.g. Windows HyperTerminal).

Switch using the console program. This section indicates how to configure the Switch to enable its smart functions including: Setup The two options in the Setup screen are Port Configuration and VLAN. The functions of these two items are illustrated in the following sections.
[Space Bar]: Change selection. Available when the field has multiple selections. Login Execute the terminal emulation program on the remote workstation, connect the serial cable, and turn on the Switch. The login screen will ask you to input a password to login. Password: admin (default password) Figure 10.
You can see the available console command keys in the lower portion of the screen. Move cursor to highlight a desired option by using Up Arrow, Down Arrow, and Tab keys, and then press Enter key to confirm. The four options in the Main Menu screen are Setup, System, File, and Statistics.

Bar] to select “V” to add the port to the VLAN group or select “- ” to delete the port from the group. In default, all ports belong to VLAN 1 (see Figure 14). Figure 14. VLAN Configuration For example, there are five computers (PC1~PC5) connected to the Switch’s port 1~5.
Figure 15. There is no connection between PC1 (VLAN 1) and PC5 (VLAN 2) Using VLAN feature, you can group the computers on the Switch into many independent small networks. For example, in Figure 16, the Switch has been divided into four VLAN groups. Each VLAN group is independent and there is no communication between the VLAN groups.
Confirm Password: To confirm the new password. Refresh Time: To set the automatic status refreshing time. You can select Disabled, 1 sec., 5 sec., 10 sec., 15 sec., or 20 sec. (by pressing the [Space bar]). Login Timeout: Set the console idle time-out to automatically logout the configuration console.
