sure to leave a space of at least 10cm on each side around the switch, for better heat dissipation. • Environmental humidity: 5%-95%, without condensation. Do not place the switch in an extremely dirty or damp place. • Keep the switch away from strong electric/magnetic fields. - Page 13 NW223NXT56/NW223NXT57 L-shape supports (the 24-port model is used as an example) Installation of the NW223NXT56/NW223NXT57 Network connection: The NW223NXT56/NW223NXT57 supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, 10/100 Mbps half/full- duplex mode and 1000 Mbps full-duplex mode. All RJ-45 ports support Auto MDI/MDIX function. They can be used as ordinary ports or Uplink backbone cascading ports.
- Page 14 Network transmission media: RJ45 ports support CAT5/CAT5 or higher category of STP/UTP cabling. CAT6 UTP cable is recommended to ensure stable data transmission at 1000 Mbps. LC fiber connectors are used for the SFP modules. Caution! Make sure that only one uplink connection exists between switches (except for the Trunk function) or between the switch and HUB, otherwise the multi-uplink connection could form a loop that makes the entire...

Page 21: Storm Control
3.3.3 Storm Control Storm Control: Also known as traffic suppression, this feature selectively blocks the transfer of broadcast packets from the switch. When different types of broadcast packets reach the set threshold of a port, the switch automatically discards excessive packets, to prevent being disrupted by a broadcast, multicast, or unicast traffic storm on physical interfaces. -
Page 22: Statistics
3.3.4 Statistics Statistics: Displays the currently received and transmitted data, including the number of error frames at each port. • Clear button: Use this button to erase all the counter values. • Renew button: Use this button to refresh statistical data. -
Page 23: Mirror
3.4 Mirror • Mirror function is used to duplicate the traffic from one or more mirrored ports to a mirror port; this function is used to monitor the internet access. • If the mirror and mirrored ports are the same, the system will automatically ignore this mirrored port. -
Page 24: Vlan Mode
multicast, broadcast and unknown unicast packets, are to be transferred only within the VLAN. In addition, VLAN can be used to change the topological structure of the network, without any movement of network workstations or change of network connections. You can modify the VLAN setting of a workstation, to “move”... -
Page 25: Port Vlan
3.5.2 VLAN Port Description of VLAN Port configuration: A port based VLAN uses the physical ports of the switch to distinguish VLANs. • VLAN Group: Includes all 16/24 ports. Default VLAN has a VLAN ID of 1. • VLAN Member: Adds the physical ports of the switch to be included in this VLAN. -
Page 26: 802.1Q Vlan
3.5.3 802.1Q VLAN Description of 802.1Q VLAN configuration: In the VLAN Tag mode, port VID is used to identify a particular VLAN. When data frames pass through the switch, the VID tag uses the frame header to define the different VLANs, so the switch can determine the destination ports of such frames according to the current VLAN settings. -
Page 27: Tag Vlan Configuration
3.5.4 Tag VLAN Configuration Description of 802.1Q VLAN port configuration: • Port Tag: Sets the Tag attributes for the port. The port Tag rule specifies the changes to be made upon the frame output, that is, the egress rule. The available rules are “add”... -
Page 28: Trunk
3.6 Trunk • Trunk is used to expand the bandwidth (e.g. hot backup and error tolerance of the inter-switch cascading the Uplink channels). • All ports set as the trunk group members can be used by the trunk group only and cannot be used for any other purpose, even when they are not being used by the trunk group. -
Page 29: Qos
3.7 QoS • Simple QoS functions can be implemented through the combination of priority mode settings and priority control operations. This switch supports packet mapping by 4 priority levels (low, medium, common, and high) and 3 priority setting modes. - Page 30 • If “Port Priority” is enabled and a high priority is assigned to a physical port, all packets passing through this port are mapped into high priority. As a result, the switch processes the received/transmitted packets through this port first. If “802.1Q tag Priority”...

the bridge level. In view of the high complexity of the RSTP algorithm, it is recommended to accept the default values. RST automatically assigns root bridge or root port, to prevent a loop condition. However, if modification to RST parameters is necessary, you should carefully read the related RSTP contents to understand them in advance. -

Page 41: System
3.12 System 3.12.1 SNMP All management information and counters are stored in the Management Information Base (MIB) of the switch. Usually, the switch adopts the standard MIB-II module, able to be read by any SNMP-based NMS software. MIB data may be of either read-only or read-write mode. You can change the default SNMP community names of the switch and set access right for such community names. -
Page 42: Change Password
• SNMP Read Community: Sets the read-only community name of the SNMP information of the switch. To read the SNMP information of the switch, the SNMP management software must contain the consistent read-only communi- ty name. • SNMP Write Community: Sets the writeable community name of the SNMP information of the switch. -
