Thank you for purchasing the INTellINeT NeTWoRK SolUTIoNS Fast ethernet Managed ™ Switch, Model 523769. Equipped with eight 10/100Base-TX ports plus two combo 1000 Mb slots (fiber options are SFP-type and 1000Base-SX/LX/LHX), this device is designed with SNMP, RMON, flexible network management and monitoring options for increased efficiency and performance.
1 hardwarE The Fast ethernet Managed Switch was developed with a host of features — including both Xpress Ring and Jet Ring — that makes it particularly well-suited for SoHo applications that demand the utmost in reliability. The Jet Ring offers a recovery time of less than 300 ms in case of any network-link failure;...
copper ports support network speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps. These two ports are located next to their corresponding SFP-type fiber slots, and each of these RJ-45 ports is interchangeable with its corresponding SFP slot. The Gigabit copper port will have the same number as its corresponding SFP slot. Once an SFP fiber slot is connected, the correspondingly numbered RJ-45 port won’t function.
connection is provided via a terminal block located at the top of the switch. The switch’s power supply automatically self-adjusts to the local power source and may be powered on without having any or all lAN segment cables connected. Check the front-panel as the device is turned on to verify that the PWR led lights.
2.2.7 lEd indicators This switch is equipped with unit leds (indicating the status of the switch) and port leds (positioned alongside each copper port and indicating the status of the connections). All leds light green. condition status Switch is being fed primary power. Primary power is off or a failure has occurred.
3.2 Xpress ring Xpress Ring enables networks to recover from link failure within 50 ms. Unlike Jet Ring, however, it needs some network configuration efforts. The user must assign two ring ports for each switch in the ring. The user must also assign the “arbiter” switch, which will decide if it is necessary to activate the backup path.
4.1.1 connecting via hyperterminal 1. Verify the console cable (RJ-45 to DB9) connection between the switch and workstation. 2. launch the terminal emulation program on the remote workstation and turn on the switch. Be sure to select the correct CoM port. Click “oK.” 3.
With HyperTerminal, command lines are the same as those for Telnet. You can continue to use HyperTerminal with the instructions provided. otherwise, log out by entering “exit” and pressing the “enter” key. The switch can then be configured via an HTTP Web browser or Telnet with menu-driven or command line interfaces.
4.2.2 DHCP Configuration Menu This screen presents the option of either disabling or enabling dHCP Client. When enabled, dHCP Leased Time and DHCP Expiry Time are displayed in seconds, as shown. 4.2.3 device control Menu Port Configuration: Configure various parameters for each of the switch’s ports.
Port No.: In the settings panel at the bottom of the screen, use the “enter” and “Tab” keys to position the cursor in the desired field and enter whichever port number you want to configure. Name: The name assigned to a port for keeping records of the connections. Type: The type of a port connector (fiber or RJ-45).

Priority: When setting the bridge priority, the limit can be from 0 (the highest priority) to 65535 (the lowest priority). The bridge priority is used in selecting the root device, root port and designated port. The device with the highest priority becomes the STA root device. However, if all devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device.
4.2.3.2.4 J TaTus If Jet Ring is enabled, you can view the Jet Ring status. The switch will automatically detect which port is attached to other switches (or other Jet Ring-enabling switches) to establish the Jet Ring. You can see how many nodes are connected in the ring and which node is working as master, arbiter or member.

4.2.3.6 Trunk Configuration Port Trunking defines a network link aggregation and trunking method that specifies how to create a single high-speed logical link that combines several low-speed physical links. The switch supports a maximum of four trunk groups for 100 Mbps ports, and an additional trunk group for Gigabit ports.

The Spanning Tree Algorithm is used for detecting and disabling network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to communicate and interact with other bridging (STA-compliant) devices in a network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations.
4.3.3.3 STP Per-Port Configuration STP allows the switch to assign a priority status to each of its ports with respect to other networking nodes in the network. In other words, STP determines the best route for data to flow given the priority level of each node on the network.
