    1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for using the 5-Port 10/100TX plus 1-Port 100FX Uplink & 6-Port 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet Smart Switch. The built-in management module allows users to configure this Smart Switch and monitor the operation status locally or remotely through network. The Smart Switch is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards.

  • Page 7: Management Preparations

    1.2 Management Preparations The Smart Switch can be accessed through Telnet connection or a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, etc. Before you can access to the Smart Switch to configure it, you need to connect cables properly. Connecting the Smart Switch It is extremely important that proper cables are used with correct pin arrangements when connecting Smart Switch to other devices such as switches, hubs, workstations, etc.

     The second part (XXX.XXX.8.100 in the example) identifies the device within the network. Assigning unique device numbers is your responsibility. If you are unsure of the IP addresses allocated to you, consult the allocation organization from which your IP addresses were obtained. Remember that no two devices on a network can have the same address.
