Purpose This guide discusses how to install your SW-0008FP. Terms/Usage In this guide, the term “User’s Manual” refers to your SW-0008FP and “User’s Manual” refers to other Ethernet switches.
INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the SW-0008FP and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can communicate as if a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead.
Features 8×10/100Mbps Auto-negotiation Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports with PoE function Compliant with IEEE 802.3af specification Supports PoE power maximum 15.4W for each PoE ports Supports PoE Powered Device (PD) classification identify Each port supports auto MDI/MDIX, so there is no need to use cross-over cables or an up-link port Full/half duplex transfer mode for each port Wire speed reception and transmission...
Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One SW-0008FP One AC power cord, suitable for your area’s electrical power connections Four rubber feet to be used for shock cushioning Screws and two mounting brackets CD-Rom with Web Management Utility and User’s Guide...
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation. Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.

power connector and the system fan. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.
Switch. Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the Switch. Figure 3. Front panel of SW-0008FP Reset: The Reset button is to reset all the setting back to the factory default. Note: Be sure that you recorded the setting of your device, else all the setting will be erased when pressing the ì...
These ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full- duplex transfer modes. These ports also supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function gives true “plug and play” capability, just need to plug-in the network cable to the hub directly and don’t care if the end node is NIC (Network Interface Card) or switch and hub.
UNDERSTANDING LED INDICATORS The front panel LEDs provides instant status feedback, and, helps monitor and troubleshoot when needed. Figure 5. LED indicators of the Switch Power and System LEDs POWER: Power Indicator : When the Power LED lights on, the Switch is receiving power. : When the Power turns off or the power cord has improper connection.

CONFIGURATION Through the Web Browser you can configure the Switch such as VLAN, Trunking, and QoS… etc. With the attached Web Management Utility, you can easily discover all the Web Management Switch, assign the IP Address, changing the password and upgrading the new firmware. Installing the Web Management Utility The following gives instructions guiding you through the installations of the Web Management utility.
Figure 6. Web Management Utility The Web Management Utility was divided into four parts, Discovery List, Monitor List, Device Setting and Toolbar function, for details instruction, follow the below section. Discovery List This is the list where you can discover all the Web management devices in the entire network.
System word definitions in the Discovery List: MAC Address: Shows the device MAC Address. IP Address: Shows the current IP address of the device. Protocol version: Shows the version of the Utility protocol. Product Name: Shows the device product name. System Name: Shows the appointed device system name.

View Trap: The Trap function can receive the events that happen from the Web Management Switch in the Monitor List. There is a light indicator behind the “View Trap” button, when the light indicates in green, it means that there is no trap transmitted, and else when it indicates in red, it means that there is new trap transmitted, this is to remind us to view the trap.
Device Setting You can set the device by using the function key in the Device Setting Dialog box. Configuration Setting: In this Configuration Setting, you can set the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Set Trap to (Trap IP Address), System name and Location. Select the device in the Discovery list or Monitor List and press this button, then the Configuration Setting window will pop out as Figure 9, after filling up the data that you want to change, you must fill up the...
Firmware Upgrade: When the device has a new function, there will be a new firmware to update the device, use this function to update. Figure 11. Web Access: Double click the device in the Monitor List or select a device in the Monitor List and press this “Web Access” button to access the device in Web browser.
In the “Help TAB”, there is About function, it will show out the version of the Web Management Utility. Configuring the Switch The SW-0008FP has a Web GUI interface for smart switch configuration. The Switch can be configured through the Web Browser. A network administrator can manage, control and monitor the switch from the local LAN.
Device status and Statistic Login Before you configure this device, note that when the SW-0008FP is configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure the manager PC must be set on same the IP network. For example, when the default network address of the default IP address of the Web Smart Switch is 192.168.1.254, then the manager PC should be set at...

Figure 13. After entering the password, the main page comes up, the screen will display the device status. Figure 14. Device Status...
Setup Menu When the main page appears, find the Setup menu in the left side of the screen (Figure 15). Click on the setup item that you want to configure. There are eleven options: Port Settings, VLAN Settings, Trunk Settings, Mirror Settings, QoS Settings, PoE Settings, Device Status, Statistic, System Settings, Trap Setting, Password Settings, Backup Settings and Reset Settings as shown in the Main Menu screen.
