1. OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches. The Managed Industrial Ethernet
Switches are designed to meet the massive needs for Fast Ethernet network deployments and aim at
Industrial applications that demand wide range of operating temperature. They are fully compliant
with IEEE802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x, 802.3z and 802.3ab standards. The built-in management module
allows users to configure this Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch and monitor the operation status
locally or remotely through network.
Besides, redundant power supplies are both offered on the Managed Industrial 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 more advanced functions such as QoS, Q-in-Q VLAN Tunneling, Rate Limiting, IGMP
Snooping, etc.. 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 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 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 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 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).
10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 Ports
Depending on the model that you purchased, 4 or 6 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports are located
on the front panel of the Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch. These RJ-45 ports allow users to
