The LGB5510A switch has 10 ports for 10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. However, unlike other entry-level switching solutions that provide advance managed network capabilities only in the costliest models, the LGB5510A switch supports advanced security management capabilities and network features, including data, voice, security, and wireless technologies.
Chapter 2: Overview If you have any trouble accessing the Black Box site to download the manual, you can contact our Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or info@blackbox.com. 2.4 Hardware Description The switch has eight 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports. All RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, auto-negotiation and IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the optimum data rate and transmission can be selected automatically.

3.2 Application Examples The LGB5510A Switch has eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet TP ports with auto MDI-X and two slots for removable SFP+ modules that support comprehensive types of fiber connection, such as LC and BiDi-LC modules. It is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections.
• Make sure the twisted-pair Ethernet cable is always routed away from power lines, radios, transmitters, or any other source of electrical interference. • Make sure that LGB5510A Switch is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.

Chapter 4: Installing the Switch • Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rackmounted unit. • Circuit Overloading: Do not overload the supply circuit to the rack assembly. • Grounding: Properly ground rackmounted equipment. To rackmount devices: Step 1: Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided.
Chapter 4: Installing the Switch Step 3: If you are installing a single switch only, turn to Section 4.6, Connecting to a Power Source at the end of this chapter. Step 4: If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order. 4.4.2 Wallmounting To wallmount the switch: Step 1: Drill two holes (2.7-mm deep) through the wall with the drill (4.4-mm to 6.8-mm in diameter).
Chapter 4: Installing the Switch 4.4.3 Desktop or Shelf Mounting To mount the switch on a desktop or shelf: Step 1: Attach the four adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the first switch. Figure 4-4. Attaching the adhesive rubber feet. Step 2: Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, Make sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper airflow.

Chapter 4: Installing the Switch 4.6 Connecting to a Power Source You can plug or remove power cord from AC power socket, to switch the power on and off. Figure 4-6. Inserting the power cord into the AC socket. Step 1: Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC socket located on the back of the switch. Step 2: Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source.
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254 Username: admin Password: To access the web management of the LGB5510A switch, enter the default IP Address in a Web browser and press enter. For example: http://192.168.1.1 Once you have entered the IP address into the web browser you will be prompted to enter a username and password so you can access the web management interface.
Chapter 6: Making Network Connections 6. Making Network Connections 6.1 Connecting Network Devices The switch is designed to be connected to 100M, 1G, 10Gbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using optional SFP+ transceivers. 6.2 Twisted-Pair Devices Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.

Network wiring connections. 6.6 Fiber Optic SFP+ Devices An optional 10Gigabit SFP+ transceiver can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high- speed server.
Chapter 6: Making Network Connections Figure 6-3. Making fiber port connections. Step 4: As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid. 6.7 Connectivity Rules When adding hubs to your network, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.
Chapter 7: Cable Labeling and Connection Records 7. Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. This will allow users to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults, and change your topology without unnecessary time consumption.
Because the LGB5510A switch devices behave in this way (in compliance with the IEEE 802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communications between the switch and the device.
If you determine that your 10-Gigabit Web Smart Switch - 10-Port is malfunctioning, do not attempt to alter or repair the unit. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or info@blackbox.com. Before you do, make a record of the history of the problem. We will be able to provide more efficient and accurate assistance if you have a complete description, including: •...
Chapter 9: Power and Cooling Problems 9. Power and Cooling Problems 9.1 Installation If the System indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. If the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet.
