Uplinking the Switch

All four ports on the Switch can act as uplink ports, allowing you to uplink to
other switches or hubs using a standard Ethernet connection.
To uplink the switch, connect one end of a Category 5e (or better) network
cable into a port, then connect the other end of the cable into the desired net-
work device's uplink port. MDI/MDIX will automatically detect the speed and
cable type.

Installing the Gigabit Expansion Modules

Use the following instructions to install the Gigabit Expansion Modules:
Before you begin, power off the Switch by disconnecting all cables from the
Switch.
1. Place the Switch right side up, with the front panel facing you.
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the desired Expansion Module cover plate
(labeled "Module 1", "Module 2", "Module 3", "Module 4"). Set the
screws aside for step 4.
3. Insert the Gigabit Expansion Module (must be purchased separately) into
the selected Gigabit Expansion Port, ensuring that it is seated firmly in
place.
4. Secure the module in place using the screws and a screwdriver.
The Gigabit Expansion Module installation is complete.
You can now re-connect the cables to the back of the Switch.

Switch Management

Overview

The Switch offers an easy-to-use, menu-driven console interface. Using this
interface, you can perform various switch configuration and management
activities, including:
• Configuring system and port parameters
• Assigning an IP address to the Switch
• Configuring routing properties
• Configuring ARP
• Configuring DHCP
• Setting VLAN policies
• Setting packet filtration
• Configuring STP and SNMP parameters
• Upgrading firmware
There are four methods of managing the Switch:
• Local Console Management using the serial port
• Remote Console Management using telnet
• Using an SNMP Management Station
• Web-Browser

Local Console Management

You can manage the Switch locally by connecting the switch to a PC or work-
station with terminal emulation software, such as Hyperterminal, using the
serial port.
Before you log on to the Switch, make sure that the Switch's Console port
settings are as follows:
BAUD RATE: 115200
FLOW: None
PARITY: None
STOP BITS: 1
DATA BITS: 8
EMULATION: ANSI
CURSOR EMULATION: VT100
