Ethernet cable. The 16 ports TX with 1 FX smart switch and the 24 ports TX with 2 FX smart switch come with one and two fiber uplink ports respectively for connecting to a high-speed server or inter-connecting with another switch.
2.4.2. Power Connection The power socket is located on the rear panel of the switch. Use the power cord to connect this socket to a power source to power on the switch. Use the power source as labeled on the rear panel.
The Remote Management Tool (RMT) allows you to configure the switch from a remote location on the network without directly connecting a computer to the switch. If you have more than one switch on the network, you can maintain multiple switches using the RMT.

Accept the default or enter the security key for the RMT to access the switch for management. Click OK to save the settings in the RMT. You can view the switch information in the Switch Database screen (see Figure 4-3).
Click Network > Switch Database. Right-click in the Managed Switches table and click Add. A Set Switch Information screen displays. Configure this screen and click OK to insert a new entry in the database. Refer to Table 4-2 for the field descriptions.
Switch Status Chapter 5. 5.1. Port Status Use the Port Status screen to view the status on the switch ports. Click Switch Status > Port Status to display the screen. Figure 5-1 Switch Status: Port Status The following table describes the labels in this screen.
5.2. MIB Information Use the MIB Information screen to start collecting port statistics and see the amount of traffic received or transmitted on the ports. Click Switch Status > MIB Information to display the screen. Right-click to change the counter unit.
You can test port connection in the Cable Tester screen. This allows you to diagnose the port cable links and determine possible connection problems. Click Switch Status > Cable Tester to display the screen. Click Start Testing to begin the test.
5.4. Signal Quality Check the port transmission quality in the Signal Quality screen. The RMT checks the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for the transmission quality. Click Switch Status > Signal Quality and click Start Testing to begin the test.
Switch Configuration Chapter 6. 6.1. Global Configuration Set the system-wide settings in the Global Configuration screen. Click Switch Configuration > Global Configuration to display the screen. Figure 6-1 Switch Configuration: Global Configuration The following table describes the labels in this screen.
6.2. Port Configuration Set the port settings in the Port Configuration screen. Click Switch Configuration > Port Configuration to display the screen. To change the port settings in this screen, right-click and select the options. Figure 6-2 Switch Configuration: Port Configuration The following table describes the labels in this screen.
6.2.1. Trunk Group Setting You can configure up to four trunk groups on the switch. In the Port Configuration screen, right-click and click Trunking > Enabled to activate trunking on the selected port. A Trunk Setting screen displays as shown. The screen displays the port numbers belonging to the trunk group.
Otherwise, the quality of these services depends on the load of your network. Click Switch Configuration > QoS Configuration to display the configuration screen. The switch provides two priority settings (High and Low). You can set the priority settings based on TOC/DiffServ, VLAN tag or a port.
7 are treated as low priority. Select Disabled to set the switch not to prioritize VLAN tagged packets. High/Low Select 4:1, 8:1 or 16:1 to set the switch to assign the selected ratio of the bandwidth for Priority transmitting high and low priority packets respectively.
In 802.1q tagged VLAN, the VLAN information is contained in the frames (known as tagged frames). When the switch receives tagged frames, it sends the frames to only ports that belong to the same VLAN. In addition, the switch is able to add VLAN information to frames before transmitting.
Select Disabled to deactivate this feature. Multicast packets can only travel to the Leaky specified VLAN. Output Port Use this table to configure whether the switch is to add VLAN information to outgoing Filtering packets. Port This field displays the port number.
E S C R I P T I O N Control Select Don’t Touch to set the switch not to add VLAN information to the outgoing frames. Select Remove Tags to set the switch to remove VLAN tags from frames before transmitting.
This field displays the number of the port belonging to the VLAN. Creating a Port-based VLAN You can create up to 32 VLANs on the switch. Follow the steps below to add a new port-based VLAN. Right-click on the VLAN Table in the Port-based VLAN Configuration screen and click Add.
Example: Port-based VLAN In the following network example, switch ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 belong to the sales VLAN group (VLAN ID 02), ports 5, 6, 7, and 8 belong to the marketing VLAN group (VLAN ID 03) and ports 1, 9, 10, and 11 belong to the finance VLAN group (VLAN ID 04).
In 802.1q tagged VLAN, the VLAN information is contained in the frames (known as tagged frames). When the switch receives tagged frames, it sends the frames to only ports that belong to the same VLAN. In addition, the switch is able to add VLAN information to frames before transmitting.
Right-click on a port entry and click Set VLAN ID to specify the ID of the VLAN to Mapping which the switch sends untagged packets received on this port. This also sets the switch to add the selected VLAN ID information to outgoing packets. Output Port Specify whether to add VLAN information to packets to a port.
Example: 802.1Q VLAN In the following VLAN example, switch ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 belong to VLAN ID 2, ports 5, 6, 7 and 8 belong to VLAN ID 10 and ports 1, 9, 10, 11, and 12 belong to VLAN ID 15.
Figure 6-16 Example: 802.1Q VLAN Configuration 6.6. Port Mirror Configuration With port mirroring, the switch copies the incoming and/or outgoing traffic from a port to another port. This is usually used for traffic analysis and diagnostic purposes. Click Switch Configuration > Port Mirror Configuration to display the screen.
To ensure that the RMT can communicate with the switch for management, you cannot enable port mirroring on the port used for RMT management. If you do so, a warning screen...
Figure 6-18 Switch Configuration: Port Mirror Configuration: Warning 6.6.2. Example: Port Mirror In the following example, the switch copies incoming traffic from port 3 and outgoing traffic from port 4 to the mirroring port 16. Figure 6-19 Example: Port Mirror Configuration 6.7.
You can also use this screen to restart the switch without turning off and on the power source. Click Switch Internals > Device Management to display the screen as shown.
