2. Installation 2.1 Unpacking The product package contains: • The switch unit • One power cord • One 19-inch rack mounting kit • One product CD-ROM 2.2 Safety Cautions To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment, observe the following precautions.
The steps to mount the switch onto a 19-inch rack are: 1. Turn the power to the switch off. 2. Install two brackets with supplied screws onto the switch as shown in above figure. 2. Mount the switch onto 19-inch rack with rack screws securely. 3.
2.8 Configuring IP Address and Access Settings for the Switch The switch is shipped with the following factory default settings: • IP address of the switch : 192.168.0.2 / 255.255.255.0 • User name : admin • Password : 123 For security reason, it is recommended to change the default settings for the switch before deploying it to your network.
3. Advanced Functions To help a better understanding about the software management interfaces, this chapter describes some advanced functions provided by the switch. 3.1 QoS Function The switch provides a powerful Quality of Service (QoS) function to guide the packet forwarding in two priority levels.
3.1.3.1 Port-based Priority Setting (per port setting) As one port is configured to be enabled for port-based priority, all received packets on the port will be classified as high priority. The options are: Enable - All packets received on the port are classified as high priority Disable - Port-based classification is not applied.
3.1.3.4 IP Network Address Classification User can configured two IP network address settings, IP(A) and IP(B). If a received IP packet’s source address or destination address belongs to the user defined IP network addresses. The packet is classified as high priority. User Defined IP(A) Classification (Global) Enable - Enable IP(A) checking...
3.2 VLAN Function The switch supports port-based VLAN, 802.1Q Tag Aware VLAN and eight VLAN groups. Some VLAN related terminologies are described as follows: VLAN Group VLAN group specifies a VLAN information that can be referred by the switch in performing VLAN mapping and packet forwarding for ingress port and the received packets.
The following sections describe the VLAN processes and related settings provided by the switch. A global setting means the setting is applied to all ports of the switch. A per port setting means each port can be configured for the setting respectively. 3.2.2 Ingress Rules When a packet is received on an ingress port, the ingress rules are applied for packet filtering and mapping a VLAN group.
3.2.3 VLAN Group Mapping The VLAN group mapping is the switch’s decision process to find a right VLAN group for the re- ceived packet when it is not filtered by ingress rules. The group mapping depends on the VLAN mode and the packet type.
3.2.5.2 Null VID Replacement (per port setting) The null VID of a Null VID packet will be replaced with the associated ingress port’s PVID. This setting still works even Egress Tag rule : [PVID insertion for untagged packets only] is selected. 3.2.6 Summary of VLAN Function Number of VLAN groups : 8 groups at the same time VLAN ID supported : 1 ~ 4095 (12-bit VID)
3.3 Power over Ethernet Function Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that DC power can be delivered over a twisted pair network cable to a remote connected device which has no other power supply input. The power is delivered together with bidirectional Ethernet network signals over the network cable. The advantage of the PoE technology is delivering power to a network device located in a place where power line is unable to reach.
3.3.3.3 PoE Management functions The switch provides the following management function via software interfaces: 1. Enable or disable the switch’s PoE function. 2. Enable or disable port PoE function in per port basis. 3. Monitor the power up / down status on the PoE ports 4.
4. Software Management The switch provides the following in-band management interfaces for configuring the switch to meet requirements for different applications: • Telnet over TCP/IP • Http web-based over TCP/IP • SNMP over TCP/IP 4.1 Telnet Management Interface Use Telnet software to perform the management operation. The most convenient solution is using the built-in Telnet function in your Windows PC.
