2.1.3.1. Configuring the POEFEM24T2SFP through the RS-232 serial port When configuring the POEFEM24T2SFP via the RS-232 console please connect the switch via the provided serial cable to a DCE device such as a PC. Once you have connection run a terminal emulation program such as Hyper Terminal.
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual 2.1.3.2. Configuring the POEFEM24T2SFP through the Ethernet Port There are three different methods of configuring the POEFEM24T2SFP through the Ethernet Port. They are CLI, Web Browser and via SNMP Management Software. We will not cover SNMP management in this manual as it will vary depending on the Network Management Software that is being used.
Page 20
Username: admin Password: admin Once you have entered the IP address of the POEFEM24T2SFP into a web browser you will be prompted with a login screen where you will need to enter a valid username and password to gain access to the switch. The default username and password are shown above.
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual 3-1-2. IP Configuration The IP configuration is used to set the IP settings in the switch. The POEFEM24T2SFP supports either a static IP address allocated via the system administrator or can be assigned an IP address dynamically from a DHCP server on your network. The IP address is used to gain access to the management functionality of the switch.
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual 3-1-3. Time Configuration The POEFEM24T2SFP provides two methods to keep the switch’s time settings correct, they are via manual input and via a Time Server on the internet. If you are manually entering your time settings enter the “Year”, “Month”, “Day, “Hour”, “Minute” and “Seconds” into the space provided.
The account configuration is used to create or modify guest and administrator accounts. The POEFEM24T2SFP allows the administrator to create up to 5 guest accounts, accounts can only be created by the administrator. When a Guest user logs into the switch they will not be able to modify any parameters, they just have read only rights to the switch.
The Virtual Stack function allows multiple POEFEM24T2SFP switches to be managed from a single IP Address. One POEFEM24T2SFP switch will be configured as a Master and all other POEFEM24T2SFP switches will be configured as Slaves. You can then apply a group name to the virtual stack, only one master switch can exist within the same group name.

The POEFEM24T2SFP switches support both Backpressure flow control for Half Duplex and Pause flow control for Full Duplex. Select Enable to enable flow control and Disable to disable flow control.
- but still allow them to run on the switch as in the case of a normal Ethernet device. The POEFEM24T2SFP uses an injection voltage of about 48VDC on pins 1, 2, 3, 6 3-3-1. POE Status Fig.
SMI syntax. The SNMP agent is running on the switch to respond to requests issued by an SNMP manager. The POEFEM24T2SFP allows the administrator to turn the SNMP agent on or off. If SNMP is set to “Enable”, the SNMP agent will be started. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB, can be accessed via an SNMP manager.

Default port number: 162 Trap: In the POEFEM24T2SFP, there are six trap hosts supported. Each of them has its own community name and IP address; which are user-definable. To configure a Trap host you will need a network management System to receive the Trap messages from the switch.
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual 3-5. DHCP Boot The POEFEM24T2SFP supports DHCP Broadcast Suppression allowing the switch to suppress broadcast traffic. If a network loses power and then regains power and all computers on the network boot at the same time, a lot of broadcast traffic is generated especially if all nodes on your network are using DHCP.
The POEFEM24T2SFP supports all functions of IGMP Snooping including query, report and leave. IGMP Snooping is used by the switch to learn who belongs to a multicast group and also update the multicast table within the switch with new multicast members.
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual 3-6-2. Allowed Group The POEFEM24T2SFP allows the administrator to lock down multicast members by IP Range, VLAN ID, and port number. If the administrator only wants to enable IGMP Snooping on ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 then this can be done in this section.
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual 3-7. VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) The POEFEM24T2SFP supports both 802.1q Tagged based VLAN’s and Port-based VLAN’s. VLAN’s are used to logically separate your network into smaller more defined networks. VLAN’s help to reduce broadcast traffic across your network as all broadcast traffic will be limited to the VLAN group in which it belongs.
I am alive. When the POEFEM24T2SFP is the root bridge of the network, for example all other bridges will use the hello time assigned by this switch to communicate with each other.
Page 77
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual Max. Age: If the POEFEM24T2SFP is the root bridge, the whole network will apply this figure as their maximum age time. When a switch receives a BPDU message originating from the root bridge and if the message age exceeds the maximum age of the bridge, the bridge will treat the root bridge as malfunctioned and issue a Topology Change Notification (TCN) BPDU to all other bridges.
Using Static trunking at both ends of the link is highly recommended. The POEFEM24T2SFP allow up to 3 LACP trunk groups and another additional 3 trunk groups for static trunking. Only 3 groups can be used at one time. Each trunk group can contain a maximum of 4 member ports.
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual 3-13. Alarm Configuration The POEFEM24T2SFP supports a number of trap messages that can be sent to an administrator if certain events occur on the switch. The switch offers 24 different trap events that can be sent to the administrator in 3 different ways; email, mobile phone SMS or trap.
The Alarm Configuration is used to configure who should receive the trap messages via Email, SMS or both which have been sent from the POEFEM24T2SFP. Up to 6 email addresses can be entered as well as 6 SMS mobile phone numbers. If using SMS you will need to enter the SMS ISP details.
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual 3-14. Configuration The POEFEM24T2SFP supports multiple configuration files to be used by the administrator including the default configuration, start configuration and user configuration. In this section the administrator can save the switch’s configuration, restore the switch to factory default and also save the current configuration as the startup configuration when the switch is re-booted.
User-Conf configuration file. 3-15. Security The Mirror function of the POEFEM24T2SFP switches is used to capture data from a particular port on the switch. Any port on the switch can be selected as the monitoring port; this port will be used to capture data from another port on the switch using third party data capturing software.
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual 3-16. Bandwidth The Bandwidth Management function of the POEFEM24T2SFP switches is used to limit the bandwidth a port may use when sending or receiving data. When limiting received data you can limit the bandwidth on a particular type of data, including all Traffic or Multicast and Broadcast Traffic.
DSCP Setting Function Description: The POEFEM24T2SFP allows the administrator to configure priority levels based on the 6-bit field in the DSCP of the IP packet. The 6-bit field allows a total of 64 different traffic classes in which you can set a High or a Low priority.
POEFEM24T2SFP User Manual 3-18. Diagnostics Three Diagnostic tools are supported in the POEFEM24T2SFP including Diagnostics, Loopback test and Ping test. 3-18-1. Diag Fig. 3-71 Function name: Diagnostics Function description: Provides a basic set of Diagnostic functions to allow the administrator to diagnose whether the switch is working correctly.
Loopback Test Function description: The POEFEM24T2SFP supports two types of loopback tests including an Internal and an External loopback test. The internal loopback test is an internal test and no test signal is sent out of the switch. The external loopback test will send the test signal to its link partner to check if the port has got an active link.
Fig. 3-73 Function name: Ping Test Function description: The POEFEM24T2SFP supports a ping test function to allow the switch to test communication between other IP based devices. Parameters description: IP Address: Enter an IP Address that you would like to test connectivity between.
