Set Up the Switch
Installation Guide
Prepare the site so that the mounting, access, power source, and environmental
requirements are met. If you have any questions about these requirements, see the
Hardware Installation Guide for your switch on your Resource CD.
1. Install the switch using one of the following methods:
a. On a flat surface: Put one of the rubber footpads that came with the switch
on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch.
b. In a Rack: Use the rack-mount kit supplied with your switch, following the
installation instructions included with the kit,.
2. Apply AC power. When you apply power, the power LED can display the
following behavior:
• The power LED will be yellow as it conducts a Power-On Self Test (POST).
After the switch passes the POST, the LED turns green. The switch is now
functional. If the POST fails, the Power LED will remain yellow (see
"Troubleshooting" in the Hardware Installation Manual for assistance).
• If the power LED does not light, check that the power cable is plugged in
correctly and that the power source is good. If this does not resolve the
problem, see "Troubleshooting" in the Hardware Installation Guide.
3. Connect devices to the switch.
• Use Category 5e (Cat5e) for copper ports at 1000Mbps
• Use NETGEAR AGM731F or AGM732F for fiber ports at 1000Mbps..
Note: In the room housing the switch, ensure that the ambient temperature does
not exceed the specified operating temperature and that the environment is free
of water condensation.
Perform the Initial Configuration
This switch can be managed through its Web interface, or by using the Command
Line Interface (CLI) through the serial console port. This guide describes the Web
method. The CLI method is also described to determine a DHCP-assigned IP
address. For Web management, follow one of the following three procedures,
depending upon how your PC is set up.
• PC in DHCP client mode without DHCP server
• PC with static IP address
• PC in DHCP client mode with DHCP server
To perform extensive CLI management, see both the CLI Reference Manual and the
Software Administration Guide for your switch.
PC in DHCP Client Mode without DHCP Server
If no DHCP server is present, the switch assumes a default IP address of
169.254.100.100 and subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The switch is in the same subnet
used by a PC NIC port when in DHCP-client mode without a DHCP server present.
Use this IP value to log into the switch (see Web Login to the
PC with Static IP Address
When the PC is in this mode, the switch must also be assigned a static IP address.
To assign a static IP Address, access the switch from the serial console port :
1. Connect a console to the switch.
Using the null-modem cable supplied with the switch, connect a VT100/ANSI
terminal or a workstation to the switch port labeled Console.
2. Start a terminal emulation program (TEP).
a. Start a TEP using the appropriate method for your operating system:
• Windows users can use HyperTerminal.
• Windows Vista users should download a TEP from the Internet.
• Macintosh users can use ZTerm.
• UNIX users can use a terminal emulator such as TIP.
b. Configure the TEP to use the following settings (they are written below the
connector on the switch front panel):
• Baud rate: 9,600 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: none
• Stop bit: 1
• Flow control: none
c. At the command prompt User: , login to the switch using the user name
admin , then press Enter. At the password prompt, type password and
press Enter again. The (JGSM7224)> prompt displays.
