• OS-LS-6224-DC – 24 RJ-45 10/100Base-TX ports, two Gigabit combo uplink ports (with SFP or 10/100/1000Base-TX interfaces) and two ports full-duplex Gigabit stacking. In addition, the OS-LS-6224 -DC is powered by a DC power source rather than an AC. • OS-LS-6248-DC – 48 RJ-45 10/100Base-TX ports, two Gigabit combo uplink ports (with SFP or 10/100/1000Base-TX interfaces) and two ports full-duplex Gigabit stacking.
10/100/1000BASE-T Ports There are two types of RJ-45 ports, Ethernet ports that operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps, half or full duplex, and Fiber ports that operate at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.
SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on its port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The switch can also be configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.

10 seconds stets the mode automatically. Note: When the OS6200 is in stand-alone mode, the "stack" LED is off.If the switch is in stacking mode, the LED flashes green or amber (green for master, and amber for backup or slave).
Optional Backup Power Supply The switch supports an optional Backup Power Supply (BPS), that can supply power to the switch in the event of failure of the internal power supply. The U24 device support three kind of BPS: • 100W — OS-LS-62BP-DC —OS LS-6200 modular DC backup power supply.
• Independent RJ-45 10/100BASE-T and RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection. • Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3, 4 or 5 for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or 5e for 100 Mbps connections, and Category 5 or better for 1000 Mbps connections.
• Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2.44 m (8 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.

Mounting Mounting A switch unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. Rack Mounting Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors: •...
Mount the device in the rack, using rack-mounting screws (not provided). Figure 2-3. Installing the Switch in a Rack If installing a single switch only, turn to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order.
Connecting to a Power Source are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. If installing a single switch only, go to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each one. Place each device squarely on top of the one below, in any order.
Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country.
Installation Instructions in German • Imstande sein, eine Temperatur zwischen 0 und 45 °C (32 und 113 °FF) und eine Feuchtigkeit innerhalb von 5% bis 95% (nichtkondensierend) beizubehalten; • In einem genügend weiten Abstand (ungefähr 5 cm oder zwei Zoll) von allen Seiten fur eine ausreichende Beluftung aufgestellt werden;...

This switch is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected to devices using optional SFP transceivers.
Making Network Connections If the device is a PC card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See “Wiring Closet Connections” on the next page.) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.
Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other end to the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.
Category 5e specification includes test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.
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. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.
• If the condition does not clear, contact your dealer for assistance. Power and Cooling Problems If the power 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.

IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location and the switch.
PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable.
Receive Data minus (RD-) Not used Not used 4,5,7,8 Note: The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair. 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.
Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try and...

A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel, and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer and media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin coax and twisted-pair cable.

Unshielded twisted-pair cable. Virtual LAN (VLAN) A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no physical barriers, allowing users to share information and resources as though located on the same LAN.
