Read this chapter completely before continuing.

2.1 8-ports 100BaseTX + 2-ports1000BaseT / Mini GBIC PoE PSE

Product Description Overview

800PoE is the PoE PSE model to offer 100W power buget for whole with built-in power

management function, these PoE L2 management switch can adjust the supplied power

dynamically to save the power for wide application range.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is the IEEE standard (802.3af) to transmit data and power

over the Ethernet CAT5 cable. PoE defines a way to build Ethernet power-souring

equipment and powered terminals. The specification involves delivering 48 volts of DC

power over unshielded twisted-pair wiring .It works with existing cable plant ,including

Category5,5e or 6;horizontal and patch -panels; outlets ;and connecting hardware,

without modification. Power over Ethernet eliminates the need to run 110/220V AC

power to wireless network, IP telephony or other powered devices on a wired LAN. Use

of a power over Ethernet system eliminates the need to deploy double cabling systems

in an enterprise, thus allowing greater flexibility in locations of network devices, and

significantly decreasing installation costs.

2.2 8-ports 100BaseTx + 2- Ports 1000BaseT / MiniGBIC PoE PSE

Layer 2 management Switch Features

Power Management:

In a power over Ethernet system, operating power is applied from a power source

(PSU-power supply unit) over the LAN infrastructure to powered devices (PDs), which

are connected to ports. Under some conditions, the total output power required by PDs

can exceed the maximum available power provided by the PSU .The system may a priori

be planed with a PSU capable of supplying less power than the total potential power

consumption of all the PoE ports in the system. In order to maintain the majority of ports

active, power management is implemented.

The PSU input power consumption is monitored by measuring voltage and current .The

input power consumption is equal to the system’s aggregated power consumption .The

power management concept allows all ports to be active and activates additional ports,

as long as the aggregated power of the system is lower than the power level at which

800PoE Managed Power Over Ethernet Switch User Guide

3

additional PDs cannot be connected .When this value is exceeded, ports will be

deactivated, according to user-defined priorities. The power budget is managed

according to the following user-definable parameters: maximum available power, ports

priority, maximum allowable power per port.

The following shows the LED Function.

LEDs:

Power Green. Lights to indicate the power is being supplied to switch.

LINK/ACT Green. Lights to indicate a functional network link through the

corresponding port (1 through 8) with an attached device. Blinks to indicate

that the Switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port.

PoE Orange. Lights to indicate a device is connected utilizing Power over

Ethernet on the corresponding port (1 through 8).

Gigabit Orange, Lights to indicate a Gigabit connection on the corresponding

RJ-45 port (G1 through G2).

Ports

1-8 The Fast Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10Mbps or 100Mbps.

They can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology

enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device

connected to it (10Mbps or 100Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex

accordingly.

G1-G2 The Gigabit Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps,

and 1000Mbps. They can operate in half and full- duplex modes.

Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the

speed of the device connected to it (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps), and

adjust its speed and duplex accordingly. The G1 and G2 RJ-45 ports are

shared with the MiniGBIC ports.

MiniGBIC1/2 The Mini-GBIC (gigabit interface converter) port is a connection point for a

Mini-GBIC expansion module, so the Switch can be uplinked via fiber to

another switch. If you use the Mini-GBIC port, then you can not use the

G1 or G2

Console Port You can use a serial cable to connect a PC’s serial port for configuration

using your PC’s HyperTerminal program.

2.4.1 Pre-Installation Considerations

Gigabit Considerations:

If you will be using the switch for Gigabit applications, keep in mind that the maximum

UTP cabling length using Category 5e cable is 328 feet (100 meters).

Positioning the switch:

When choosing a location for the switch, observe the following guidelines: Keep

enough ventilation space between the switch and the surrounding objects.

Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting

fixtures.

Do not stack free-standing switch more than four units high.

2.4.2 Desktop or Shelf Mounting

To install the switch on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps:

Step 1 Place the switch on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source.

Step 2 Keep enough ventilation space between the switch and the surrounding objects.

Note: When choosing a location, keep in mind the environmental restrictions

discussed in Chapter 4, Specifications.

Step 3 Connect the switch to network devices.

A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the RJ-45 ports on the front of

the switch.

B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer servers,

workstations or routers.

Note: It is recommended to use the UTP Category 5e network cabling with RJ-45

tips for the network connection. For more information, please see the Cable

Specifications in Chapter 4, Specifications.

Step 4 Supply power to the switch.

A. Connect one end of the power cable to the switch.

B. Connect the power cube end of the power cable to a standard wall outlet.

When the switch receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.

3 Configuration

The configuration programs are supplied with 8-ports 100BaseTX +2 min GBIC Layer 2

Management or 8-ports 100BaseTX +2 min GBIC PoE PSE Layer 2 Management Switch.

Unlike the unmanaged switch (dumb switch), the switch performs "management"

functions that make the switch operate more effectively. This Chapter will describe the

use of the switch Management Configuration program.

3.1 Preparing for configuration

The 8-ports 100BaseTX +2 min GBIC Layer 2 Management or 8-ports 100BaseTX +2

min GBIC PoE PSE Layer 2 Management Switch offers an easy-to-use, menu driven

console interface for switch configuration and management. Users can use this interface

to perform the activities such as configuring DHCP, ARP, assigning IP address and

upgrading software and etc.

There are four methods to manage your switch:

Local Console Management

You can manage the switch locally by connecting the switch to a PC or workstation with

terminal emulation software using the serial port.

Remote Console Management

You can manage the switch by having a remote host establish a Telnet connection to the

switch via an Ethernet or modem link.

SNMP Management

You can manage the switch across a LAN using an SNMP Network Management Station

with a graphical user interface. Note that to use this management method, your network

must use the IP protocol and your switch must be configured on the Network with a

proper IP address. You may use any of the following method to manage the switch.

Web-Browser

You can manage the switch through a web connection by connecting to the switch’s IP

address using your web browser.

This User Guide provides instructions on how to configure the switch using the console

can configure by your requirement.

3.2 Web-based configuration

The Switch provides a Web-based browser interface for configuring and managing the

Switch. This interface allows you to access the switch using the Web browser of your

choice. This chapter describes how to use the switch’s Web browser interface to

con-figure and manage the switch.

3.2.1 Logging on the switch

To log on to the Switch:

1. In your Web browser, specify the IP address of the switch.
