The IEEE 802.1Q with VLAN tagging feature make logically separating nodes easier and up to 255 VLAN group are allowed on the WGSW-2403. Rate control is also supported to allow bandwidth allocation on a per-port basis. Two priority queues ensure critical applications get the bandwidth and priority they need.

When stacked, the IN port should connect to the other switch’s OUT port and the OUT port should connect to other switch’s IN out.

100Base-FX SC multi-mode fiber module 100Base-FX SC multi-mode fiber module The auto-negotiation feature of the switch allows each port of the device running at one of the following operation modes: Port Media 10/100Mbps 100Mbps fiber optic (Alternative to copper port-1) 10/100Mbps RJ-45 (copper) All copper ports supports MDI/MDI-X automatically crossover capability that is the port can connect either the PC or hub without crossover cable adjustment.
Console Port The RS-232 console is an interface for connecting a terminal directly. Through the console port, it provides rich diagnostic information includes network statistics, link status and system setting. The operating mode of the console port is: 9600 (Fix baud rate) n (No parity checking) 8 (8 Data bits) 1 (1 stop bit)

Cabling is away from: w Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers w Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Keep water or moisture off. Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is great for heat radiation (company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25 mm clearance).
Push the module gently into the slot along the slide tracks. Ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector then tighten the screws to secure the module. CAUTION: The slide-in slots are not hot swappable, power off the switch before installing modules.
Chapter 3 CONSOLE AND TELNET MANAGEMENT 3.1 Connect To PC by RS-232 serial Cable NOTE: If you have stacked several switches together, make sure you are working on Master switch (switch with least Switch ID). Other slave switches’ management interface allows only viewing the configuration by “guest” account. To configure the system, connect the provided serial cable to a COM port on a PC or notebook computer and to serial (console) port of the device.
“guest”: guest can view the whole switch information only, moreover, access to Web management interface is not allowed. The default password is “guest”. Main menu appears after successfully login WGSW-2403. To enter any of the submenus, simply type the number after the command prompt. When select further options, you may be asked for the device ID which you want to configure.

4.1 Start A Web Browser Session The Web Interface of WGSW-2403 is coded by Java Applet and running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) version 1.3.1 platform. You should configure the management station with an IP address and subnet mask compatible with WGSW-2403 for accessing it.
4.2 Stack Main Page The stack main page contains two options: Topology This screen displays one or more switches of the management stack. Basic properties can be read by the screen, including Hardware characteristic, Device Name, Up time, Master and Slave relationship. Also, by mouse clicking listed items can enter for further operation.
4.3 Switch Main Page Switch Main Page appears after you click one of the switch(es) on the topology page. There are 8 function button listed on top: Home, Save, Default, Reboot, Ping, Telnet, Contact, and Upgrade. <Home> Shortcut to back to stack home page <Save>...

<Reboot> You can specify switch(es) and reboot it. Warm Boot Reboot the switch in a short time. Cold Boot Boot the switch and with fully Power On Self Test (POST). The system is completely checked but spends much time. <Ping> The Ping is a commonly used tool to detect the remote host or IP address exists or not.

Also accomplished by simply mouse right-click the port on the ‘Panel Display’ NOTE: then select ‘Copy Setting’ to duplicate port properties and select ’Past Setting’ when point at destination port. Statistic The statistics function provides the following 3 pages for various traffic information of each port.
A denominate port can be searched by its given name (Match whole word only). 4.7 Security This is reserved for future use. 4.8 SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication protocol for managing devices on a network. It is commonly used for network administrators to communicate with multiple devices (hub, switch, router ……) for configuring and monitoring while convenient for troubleshooting but no miscellaneous platform consideration.

Select one community you want to modify in the “Current” column The “New” column lists the corresponding values; please modify it Click Modify button to update the entry Trap Manager Trap Manager specifies the Network Management Stations (NMS) that will receive trap messages from the SNMP agent and can up to 5 entries.
Trap Filtering Check the “Enable” boxes by mouse clicking to receive a notice when corresponding event occurs. 4.9 VLAN The VLAN is a group of ports that may spread around the network but communicate as though they belong to one subnet. By using VLAN, all ports can be reorganized into separate broadcast domains for security reasons and reduce bandwidth occupation instead of using routers to divide whole network into subnets.
Page 31
To remove a VLAN group Select a VLAN group you want to remove from the “Current” list. Click Remove>> button to remove it. Attention: If a removed port is no longer belonged to any other group, it is temporarily disabled because no one can communicate with it. If one port’s PVID is equal to this VLAN ID, removing this VLAN group will not allow until you change it.
Page 32
VLAN Port Configuration When the VLAN-enabled switch receives an untagged packet, the packet will be sent to the port’s default VLAN according to the PVID (port VLAN ID) of the receiving port. To change the PVID Double click the “PVID” column of a port. Input a new VLAN ID (1~255).
Click All Together button then all the ports of the switch will be added to VLAN group 1. - All Independent Click All Independent button then all the ports will be divided into separated subnets (totally 18 subnets). Every port can belong to different Port Group VLANs simultaneously without limitation. 4.10 IGMP Snooping Multicasting is widely used to support multi-media applications such as video conferencing.
However, before making connections between switches, pay attention to: The ports at both ends of a Port Aggregation connection must be configured as Aggregation Ports. The ports at both ends of a Port Aggregation connection must have the same port properties, including Speed, Duplex mode.

STA Port Configuration Parameters Port Priority Path Cost Fast Forward 4.13 Priority This switch supports IEEE802.1p CoS with 2-level priority. There are 8 traffic classes and 8 Service Rules in the Priority Map. When one packet carries with priority-tag, which has specified a CoS (Class of Service) comes into the switch, the specified CoS tag will determine what priority (Low/High) will it get according to the Priority Map in the switch.
FIFO The first in packet, the first out packet (No priority) 1:1 Send 1 high priority packet, then 1 low priority packet 2:1 Send 2 high priority packets, then 1 low priority packet 3:1 Send 3 high priority packets, then 1 low priority packet 4:1 Send 4 high priority packets, then 1 low priority packet 5:1...
Dynamic Address Counts Number of MAC addresses automatically learned by the current switch. Static Address Counts Number of MAC addresses manually added to the current switch. To add a static address Click the combo box and select a port, then the MAC address table of the port appears.
