This feature allows users to freely and safely mix legacy and PoE compatible devices on their network.
3.3 Preparations for Site Installation You can mount POE SWITCH either on desktop or on a 19-inch rack. If you plan to mount the switch on desktop, please choose a steady, level surface in a well-ventilated area that is free from excessive dust. In any case, the installation site chosen for your switch has to comply with the following requirements: ...
They also allow adequate ventilation space when you place the switch on top of another device. The location you choose to install your switch and the way you configure your network may greatly affect its performance. Do not place more than 1.5kg (6.6lbs) of weight on the top of the switch. Leave at least 10cm of space around the switch to allow proper heating dissipation.
3.6 Power Connection The POE SWITCH is equipped with an internal power supply unit, which allows a power connection to a wide range of input voltages from 100 to 240 VAC with 50 ~ 60Hz.

4.5 Port Management The Port Management section includes the management functions as the following: Port Configuration, Port Mirroring, Bandwidth Control, Broadcast Storm Control, POE. 4.5.1 Port Configuration In Port Configuration, you can set and view the operation mode for each port. Auto: Enable and Disable.
Click "Update" to make the configuration effective. Current Status: Displays current port status. Setting Status: Displays current status. Click "Update" to make the configuration effective 4.5.2 Port Mirroring The port mirroring function is accomplished by setting the following items. Destination port: The port mirroring function will lower the network throughput, and it‟s recommended to set “only one”...
This means all packets received at port 1 ~ port 4 will be copied to port 5, port 6, port 7 and port 8. Note that the more source ports and destination ports is set, the lower network throughput is available for normal traffic. 4.5.3 Bandwidth Control This page allows the bandwidth setting for each port.
Page 29
(a) Low bandwidth for TX Example 1: The TX number of the port1~4 is set to 10, 20, 30, 40 respectively, and Speed base is set to “low”. The real bandwidth comes from the formula of 32Kbps*10, 32Kbps*20, 32Kbps*30 and 32Kbps*40 respectively. After the “update” button is executed, the real bandwidth will show up in TX fields.
Page 30
(b) High bandwidth for TX xample 2: The TX number of the port1~4 is set to 10, 20, 30, 40 respectively, and Speed base is set to “High”. The real bandwidth comes from the formula of 512Kbps*10, 512Kbps*20, 512Kbps*30, and 512Kbps*40 respectively. After the “update” button is executed, the real bandwidth will show up in TX fields.
Page 31
(c) Low bandwidth for RX Example 3: The RX bandwidth number of the port 5~ port 8 is set to 50, 60, 70, 80 respectively, and Speed base is set to “low”. The real bandwidth comes from the formula of 32Kbps*50, 32Kbps*60, 32Kbps*70, and 32Kbps*80 respectively after the “update”...
Page 32
(d) High bandwidth for RX Example 4: The RX bandwidth number of the port 5~ port 8 is set to 50, 60, 70, 80 respectively, and Speed base is set to “high”. The real bandwidth comes from the formula of 512Kbps*50, 512Kbps*60, 512Kbps*70 and 512Kbps*80 respectively.
Page 33
Limitation of the bandwidth control The actual bandwidth should be less than the cable link speed. For 100Mbps link speed, the bandwidth setting should be less than 196 if the bandwidth is set to “high”. For 10Mbps link speed, the bandwidth setting should be less than 20 if the bandwidth base is set to “high”.
4.5.4 Broadcast Storm Control The switch implements a broadcast storm control mechanism. Tick the check boxes to have them beginning to drop incoming broadcast packets if the received broadcast packet counts reach the threshold defined. Each port‟s broadcast storm protection function can be enabled individually by ticking the check boxes.
4.6 VLAN Setting A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
VLAN Mode: Port based/Tag based VLAN mode can be switched back and forth. Add tag means the outgoing packet of the selected port will be inserted a 802.1Q tag. Use this setting for your Uplink/Downlink Ports in your VLAN Tagged Network. Original means the outgoing packet of the selected port keep the original packet received at the source port.
Page 37
VLAN Member in Tag Based Mode In Tag Based Mode you need to define and configure your VLAN groups. Since you want the handover to other switches take place smoothly, the VLAN IDs (Numbers) need to be alike on the rest of your network. On other switches you may have the chance to configure names for your reference, but only the numbers are meaningful.
4.6.3 Multi to 1 Setting Multi-to-1 VLAN is used in CPE side of Ethernet-to-the-Home and is exclusive from VLAN member setting for VLAN setting. When VLAN member setting is updated, multi- to-1 setting will be void and vice versa. The “Disable port” means the port will be excluded in this setting.
4.7 Per Port Counter This page provides port counter for each port. There are 4 groups of statistics in total. These 4 categories cannot work simultaneously. Once you change the counter category, the counter will be cleared automatically. Transmit packet& collision: This category shows the packets outgoing from the switch and the count of collision.
4.8 QoS Setting The Quality of Service(QoS) Setting includes Priority Mode and Class of Service (CoS) Configuration. QoS refers to mechanisms in the network software that make the actual determination of which packets have priority. CoS refers to feature sets, or groups of services, that are assigned to users based on company policy.
4.8.2 Class of Service Configuration There are 4 types of CoS for this setting; TCP/UDP port, TOS/DS, 802.1p, and physical port. The user can select more than one item for each port. Note that if more than one type of CoS is selected, the switch will arrange the packet to the assigned queue according the following priority: TCP/UDP port the first, ToS/DS the second, 802.1p the third, and physical port the last.
4.9 Security The Security section describes the functions of MAC Address Binding, MAC Address Scan, TCP/UDP Filter, and Web Security. 4.9.1 MAC Address Binding This function specifies the relationship between the physical port and the MAC address. Only the packet with specified source MAC address can be forwarded. By assigning the MAC address to each port, the network administrator can prevent the unauthorized user from accessing the switch.
4.9.2 MAC Address Scan This shows the MAC addresses for packets through the selected port. 4.9.3 TCP/UDP Filter By selecting the TCP/UDP port, the network administrator can optionally block some specific functions. There are two kinds of protocol filter functions. The Forward function forwards packets of the selected protocol and drops other protocols.
4.11 Trunk Setting Trunk setting is used to set trunk group for load balance and auto-backup. The switch supports two trunk group, and each trunk consists of 2~4 ports. Trunk hash algorithm can be selected according to 4 different options. Port ID: Among the trunk member ports, the packet will be distributed based on the port Among the trunk member ports, the packet will be distributed based on the source MAC address.
4.14 Backup/Recovery This function is used to backup/recovery the switch configuration. The user can save the configuration file to a specified file name. If the user wants to recover the original configuration, which is saved at the specified path, just enter the password and then press the “Update”...
4.15 Miscellaneous Miscellaneous setting is used to configure output queue aging time, VLAN stride and IGMP snooping. Output queue aging: This function is used to avoid the poor utilization of the switch. When a packet is stored in a switch for a long time, it will expire from the allowable time defined by the protocol and become a useless packet.
