Page 6: Chapter 2 Getting Started
Getting Started Chapter 2 In this chapter, we explain how to access your Moxa PowerTrans Switch for the first time. There are two ways to access the switch: by serial console or web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the switch to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know the switch’s IP address. -

1. You can connect to the PT-7324 using a web browser and serial console simultaneously. 2. Recommendation—when connecting to the PT-7324 using a web browser, do NOT simultaneously connect using the serial console. By following this advice, you can maintain better control over how your Moxa PowerTrans Switch is managed. NOTE We recommend using Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded free of charge from Moxa’s website. - Page 8 PT-7324 Series User’s Manual Getting Started 3. The Communication Parameter page of the Property window opens. Select the appropriate COM port for Console Connection, 115200 for Baud Rate, 8 for Data Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for Stop Bits.

Page 17: Using Bandwidth Management
A single device should not be allowed to occupy unlimited bandwidth, especially when the device malfunctions. For example, broadcast storms could be caused by an incorrect topology or malfunctioning device. The PT-7324 series not only prevents broadcast storms, but can also configure the ingress rate of unicast/multicast/broadcast packets, giving administrators full control of the limited bandwidth, and preventing unpredictable faults before they occur. -
Page 18: Using Traffic Prioritization
PT-7324 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Ingress Setting Description Factory Default Select the ingress rate for all packets from the Ingress rate following options: 8M, 4M, 2M, 1M, 512K, 256K, Not Limited 128K, Not Limited. Using Traffic Prioritization The PT switch’s traffic prioritization capability provides Quality of Service (QoS) to your network by making data delivery more reliable. -
Page 19: How Traffic Prioritization Works
PT-7324 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Provide predictable throughput for multimedia applications, such as video conferencing or voice over IP, and minimize traffic delay and jitter. Improve network performance as the amount of traffic grows. This will save cost by reducing the need to keep adding bandwidth to the network. - Page 20 PT-7324 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Advantages of DiffServ over IEEE 802.1D are: Configure how you want your switch to treat selected applications and types of traffic by assigning various grades of network service to them. No extra tags are required in the packet.

Page 23: Using Virtual Lans
Using Virtual LANs Port-based VLAN and the Moxa PowerTrans Switch The PT-7324 supports Port-based VLAN. When using this function, you must first define which ports should join the VLAN. Once set, devices can be moved around the network without affecting to which VLAN the device is connected. -
Page 24: Using Auto Warning
PT-7324 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions NOTE Port-based VLAN settings only affect one switch. The PT-7324 can have a maximum of 24 VLAN settings. VLAN Table Using this table, you can review the created VLAN groups and joined ports. Using Auto Warning Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at remote areas of a system, these devices will not always know what is happening elsewhere on the network. -
