1. OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the Managed Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switches. The Managed
Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switches are designed to meet the massive needs for Gigabit
Ethernet network deployments and aim at Industrial applications that demand wide range of
operating temperature. They are fully compliant with IEEE802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3z,
802.1p, 802.1q and 802.3x standards. The built-in management module allows users to
configure this Managed Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch and monitor the operation status
locally or remotely through network.
Besides, redundant power supplies are offered on the Managed Industrial Gigabit Ethernet
Switches for users to create a reliable and stable network in the event of power failure. By
employing store and forward switching mechanism, the Switch provides low latency and
faster data transmission. Moreover, it also supports advanced functions such as VLAN and
QoS. Users can configure the required settings of the Switch and monitor its real-time
operational status via Command Line Interface (CLI).
1.1 Management Preparations
The Managed Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch can be accessed through both Telnet
connection and a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Firefox, etc.
Before you can access the Managed Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch and configure it, you
need to connect cables properly.
1.1.1 Connecting the Managed Industrial Switch
It is extremely important that proper cables are used with correct pin arrangements when
connecting the Managed Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch to other devices such as switches,
hubs, workstations, etc.
1000Base-X Fiber Port or 100/1000 Base-X Fiber Port
The 1000Base-X fiber port(s) are located at the front panel of the Managed Industrial
Gigabit Ethernet Switch. These port(s) are primarily used for uplink connection and
can operate at 100/100Mbps or 1000Mbps Full or Half Duplex mode. Duplex SC or
WDM Simplex SC types of connectors are available. Use proper multi-mode or single-
mode optical fiber cable to connect these port(s) with the other Ethernet Fiber port.
Before connecting to other switches, workstations or media converters, make sure
both sides of the fiber transfer are with the same media type, for example 1000Base-X
Single-mode to 1000Base-X Single-mode, 1000Base-X Multi-mode to 1000Base-X
Multi-mode. Check that the fiber-optic cable type matches the fiber transfer model. To
connect to 1000Base-SX transfer, use the multimode fiber cable (one side must be
male duplex SC connector type). To connect to 1000Base-LX transfer, use the single-
mode fiber cable (one side must be male duplex LC connector type).
