Items Q'ty
1 RCS, RCSL
Power cable
2 RCR, RCRL
Power protection cover 1
M3 power cover screws 2 FWR, FWRL, FWS,FWSL
Spacer bolts 2

What Else You Need

Appropriate cables for data ports. To prevent switch damage from electrical
surges, it is recommended to use STP (Shielded twisted pair) cabling.

Personal computer or laptop

Appropriate SFP modules for SFP ports
Select a Location

Installation: Rack mount. Use the enclosed brackets and screws to mount
the switch in an open or enclosed 19" rack.

Select a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters).

Choose a dry area with ambient temperature as follows:
Ambient Temperature Model Series
-40 ºC to 75ºC (-40 ºF to 167ºF) FTR, FWR, FWS
-40 ºC to 65ºC (-40 ºF to 149ºF) RCR, RCS
-10 ºC to 60ºC (14 ºF to 140ºF) FTRL, FWRL, RCRL, FWSL, RCSL

Keep away from heat sources, sunlight, warm air exhausts, hot-air vents,
and heaters.

Be sure there is adequate airflow.
Connect to the Data Ports

Depending on the model, your switch can have the following ports:

0, 8, 16, or 24 10/100/1000 Mbps TX ports

0, 8,16, or 24 100/1000Base-SFP ports

4 SFP+ slots, supporting 10Gbps or 1Gbps
Use Category 5e or higher UTP/STP cable for TX ports. For SFP and SFP+ ports,
ensure that the same type of transceiver is used at both ends of the link and that
the correct type of fiber cable is used.

InfraGreEn IG5 | Rack Series Managed Ethernet Switch

FTR / FTRL models: Connect the switch to a suitable power supply using 12
to 24 AWG wire. It is suggested to use two power sources to power the IG5.
Dual Power
Models

Supplied by a Listed Power Adapter or DC power source, rated ±24 VDC or
±48 VDC, minimum 1 A, SELV/ES1 and evaluated in accordance with UL/IEC
60950-1 and/or UL/IEC 62368-1. If you need further assistance with
purchasing the power source, contact EtherWAN Systems Inc. for further
information.

FWR/FWS/FWRL/FWSL models: Remove the two screws on the terminal
block and replace with the supplied spacer bolts. After connecting the
power wires to the terminal block, affix the power protection cover over the
terminal bock and secure with the supplied M3 screws.

RCR/RCS/RCRL/RCSL models: Connect the supplied AC power cords to the
AC power receptacles at the rear of the switch.
Relay Output Alarm
The switch provides two relay output contacts. Both Relay 1 and Relay 2 signal
actions from one of the digital inputs. The relay outputs can be connected to an
alarm signaling device. The Current is 0.5A@48VDC at Normal Open or Normal
Closed.
Normal state: 3 & 2 closed, 2 & 1 open
Alarm state: 3 & 2 open, 2 & 1 closed
Power-Up Sequence
When the switch is powered up:

All Link/ACT LEDs blink momentarily.

The Power 1, 2 LEDs light up and stay lit.

LEDs for every port connected to a device will flash, as the switch conducts a
brief Power On Self-Test (POST).

Installation Guide
Console Configuration
Connect to the switch console by connecting the RJ45 console cable to the
console port of the switch and to the serial port of the computer running a SSH
(Secure Shell protocol) application by V2 or above (such as HyperTerminal or
Putty) in default.
Configuration settings of the terminal-emulation program (Need to be enabled in
advance): Baud rate: 115,200bps, Data bits: 8, Parity: none, Stop bit: 1, Flow
control: none.
The default login name is "root," no password.
Web Configuration
Log in to the switch by launching a "HTTPS" web browser and entering
192.168.1.10 in the address bar as default settings. Then enter the default login
ID: root (no password) and click "Login."
USB Port
The switch is equipped with one USB port (Type A connector) for configuration
file and syslog backup. The USB port can be used to save the configuration and
Syslog to a (FAT32) USB storage device.
Plug the device into the USB port and use the "Save Configuration" command in
the web interface, or "copy running-config startupconfig" in the CLI. Use the
"Export Logs to USB" command in the web interface, or "export logs" in the CLI.
Digital IO-Setting
Connecting the Digital Inputs
The pin definitions for the digital input module are shown below. Each digital
input consists of two contacts on the 5-pin connector located on the top of the
switch. The inputs can be wired as either dry or wet contacts.
Dry Contacts:
[DI1-/GND] [DI2-/GND]
Logic level 1: Close to GND
Logic level 0: Open
Wet Contacts:
[DI1+/DI1-] [DI2+/DI2-]
Logic level 1 (High): 13~30 Volts
Logic level 0 (Low): 0~3 Volts
Configuring Digital Input Alarms Using the Web Interface
Located under the Diagnostics group, the Digital IO-Setting page allows for quick
configuration and enabling of digital input and environmental alarms.
