Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The OmniStack® 6200 series has six platforms: • OS-LS-6224 – Ethernet based switch with 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 • OS-LS-6224P – Ethernet based switch with 24 RJ-45 10/100Base-TX ports providing standard-based Power over Ethernet, two Gigabit combo uplink ports (with SFP or 10/100/1000Base-TX interfaces) and two ports full-duplex Gigabit stacking...
Introduction SNMP applications. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the RS-232 console port (out-of-band), or you can manage the switch through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board Web agent, or Windows-based network management software. For a detailed description of the switch’s advanced features, refer to the User Guide.
Description of Hardware Status LEDs The LEDs, which are located on the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the following table. Figure 1-2. Port LEDs Figure 1-3. Combo Port LEDs Table 1-1. Port Status LEDs Port Status LEDs Condition Status...

Features and Benefits 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. Power Supply Receptacles There are two power receptacles on the rear panel of the switch. The standard power receptacle is for the AC power cord.
Chapter 2: Installing the Switch Selecting a Site Switches can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. • The site should: • be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet. •...

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: •...
Installing the Switch 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.
Installing the Switch Figure 2-6. Power Receptacle 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. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure the Power LED is lit.
Chapter 3: Making Network Connections Connecting Network Devices 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. Twisted-Pair Devices Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
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.
Fiber Optic SFP Devices Fiber Optic SFP Devices An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, or 1000BASE-LX) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high-speed server. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.
Making Network Connections Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. However, 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.
Making Network Connections 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.

Troubleshooting subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled.
Appendix B: Cables Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards. For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires.

Fiber Standards tests are specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional Transmission Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.” Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch cables between switches and end devices. 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...
