asynchronous mode, set the data bit as 8, the stop bit as 1, the parity bit as

none, and the default baud rate as 9600bps.

In addition, the baud rates supported by the console port under Bootrom

mode includes 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200(bps). The setting

will not take effect until after the switch is rebooted.

Environmental requirements

• The switch must be installed in a clean area; otherwise, the switch may

be damaged by electrostatic adherence.

• The switch must be maintained within system speciﬁcations.

• Ensure sufﬁcient spacing around the switch for good air circulation.

• Avoid placing the switch in direct sunlight. Keep the switch away from

heat sources and strong electromagnetic interference sources.

• The switch must be mounted to a standard 19’’ rack or placed on a

clean, level desktop.

• The switch must be installed near an accessible power socket outlet.

When using DC input power, please make sure that a 4A circuit breaker

is used and is available near the controller installation site for easy

power off.

• The switch can be installed at a maximum altitude of 7,000 feet (2km).

• The DC power supply is screwed directly into the back of the

active500EM, creating a permanent connection. Therefore, an

appropriate disconnect device should be provided externally to the

active500EM in the case an urgent shutdown is required. The following

types of disconnect devices can be used:

• The main supply plug on the power supply cord.

• An appliance coupler.

• An isolating switch.

• A circuit-breaker.

• Any equivalent device.

Security warnings

• Do not place anything on top of the switch.

• Do not install, move, or relocate the switch and its modules when the

switch is in operation.

• Do not open the switch shell.

• Do not drop metals into the switch. This can cause the switch to short-

circuit.

• Do not touch the power plug or power socket.

• Use standard power sockets, which have overload and leakage

protection.

• Have the emergency power switch on site. In case of emergency, switch

off the power immediately.

Preventing electrostatic discharge damage

CAUTION: Improper power supply system grounding,

extreme ﬂuctuation of the input source, and transients (or

spikes) can result in larger error rate or hardware damage.

Electrostatic discharges (ESD) can cause damage to internal circuits and

the entire switch, and may cause physical injury. To avoid ESD damage:

• Ensure proper grounding of the device.

• Perform regular cleaning to reduce dust.

• Maintain proper temperature and humidity.

• Always wear an ESD wrist strap and antistatic uniform when in contact

with the switch.

Installation notice

• Read the instructions carefully before installation and operation. Prepare

installation materials, tools and installation site.

• Use the brackets and screws provided in the accessory kit with the proper

tools to perform the installation. Always wear an antistatic uniform and

ESD wrist straps. Use standard cables and connectors.

• Clean the site after installation, and ensure the switch is well grounded

before powering on.

CAUTION: Potential risks include: electric leakage, power

supply arcing, power line breakage, overloaded circuit, and

electrical short circuit. If electrical shock, ﬁre, or electrical

short circuit occurs, cut off electricity and seek help.

Device installation

Required tools

• Screwdrivers, both Phillips (crosshead) and Standard (ﬂat-head)

• ESD wrist strap & antistatic uniform

Installing the switch

To mount the active500EM on the 19’’ rack:

1. Attach the two brackets on the active500EM with screws provided in the

accessory kit.

2. Put the bracket-mounted switch into a standard 19’’ rack. Fasten the

active500EM to the rack with the screws provided. Leave enough space

around the switch for good air circulation.

CAUTION: The brackets are used to mount the switch to the

rack, and are not load-bearing. Place a rack shelf under the

switch. Do not place anything on top of the switch. Do not

block the vents on the switch to ensure the proper operation.

Connecting the console

The active500EM provides a serial console port.

To connect the console to the active500EM Access Control switch:

1. Attach the console cable (included) end to the console port of the

switch.

2. Connect the other side of the console cable to a COM port.

3. Turn on both the switch and the COM port, and conﬁgure the switch

through the COM port.

Copper cable cable connection

1. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet port in the

switch copper port.

2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet port

of the other device.

3. Check all status indicators for the corresponding ports; a lit LED

indicates that the link has been established. Otherwise, the link is not

ready and the cable should be examined.

CAUTION: Verify the label above the port before

connecting cables. Connecting to the wrong port may

damage the switch.

AC power supply connection

1. Insert one end of the power cable (included) into the power source

socket, and the other end into a standard power socket.

2. Check if the power status indicator in the front panel of the switch is

lit. The active500EM is self-adjustable for the input voltage. When the

input voltage is in the range printed on the switch surface, the switch

can operate correctly.

3. When the switch is powered on, it executes self-test procedures and

starts up.

CAUTION: The input voltage must be within the required

range; otherwise the switch can be damaged or may

malfunction. Do not open the switch shell as physical

injury may occur.

Switch management

Network administrators can use a simple-to-conﬁgure web Graphical User

Interface (GUI) to manage and maintain the switch on their network.

The default Web login process and details are identiﬁed below. The default

Web login information includes:

Username: admin

Password: admin

IP address of the switch: 192.168.1.1

1. Connect the switch to PC by using an Ethernet cable (not included) to

connect the PC to one of the switch’s Ethernet ports.

2. Conﬁgure the IP address for the PC and ensure that it can

communicate with the switch. The connection between the switch and

PC can be done by a direct connection or through the network.

For example, change the IP address to 192.168.1.17 to ensure that the PC

and switch are in the same IP subnet.

3. Launch your PC’s web browser and type http://192.168.1.1 in the

address bar. Press Enter.

4. On the login page, type admin in the Username ﬁeld, and type admin in

the Password ﬁeld. Click Login.

5. To quit and exit, click the log off button on the upper right corner on the

web network management page.
