2. Installing the Switch The switch is designed to operate in workgroup environments without a complicated configuration procedure. It also features an auto-select 100-240 V , 50/60Hz power supply unit, which works in most countries around the world. Before connecting the supplied power cord into the switch, check to see that the cord voltage and c[...]

2.3 Mounting the Switches Desktop Mounting The switches can be placed on a desktop as a stand-alone unit. Allow enough ventilation space between the switch and the objects around it. Desktop Mounting Rack Mounting For mounting the switch into a 19-inch rack, a pair o f mounting brackets is included in the pack. Install Rack Mount Brackets Install t[...]

3. Making Network Connections 3.1 Network Switched Ports The following figure illustrates the switched ports provided on the front panel. The switch comes with 24 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet switched ports and two Gigabit Ethernet slots for Gigabit Ethernet modules. The following table lists the connectors provided on each network ports: Port # Sta[...]

3.2 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Ports The switch can support connections to the following devices: • 10BASE-T or 10/100BASE-TX network cards • 10BASE-T hub ports • 100BASE-TX hub ports • 10/100BASE-TX dual speed hub ports • 10/100BASE-TX switch ports Auto-negotiation Capable The ports support auto-negotiation function when establishing a [...]

UTP Cable Connections When making a connection to another device using straight-through UTP cable, make sure MDI-X to MDI connection rule is followed. The following figure illustrates the pin assignments o f a straight-through UTP and a crossover UTP cable: Straight-through and Crossover UTP Cable It is suggested to use straight-through UTP cables [...]

3.3 Gigabit Ethernet Slots Each Gigabit Ethernet slot can accommodate one optional Gigabit Ethernet module for your Gigabit connection. The following modules are available for selection: Module Wavelength Connector type Fiber cable MIL-L3573SX 850 nm SC Multimode fiber MIL-L3574SX 850 nm MT-RJ Multimode fiber Module Outline The following figure ill[...]

Auto-negotiation function The Gigabit Ethernet module operates on 1000M full-duplex mode. This function makes sure the system operates with maximum performance when it is connected to an auto-negotiation capable Gigabit Ethernet device. Duplex Mode Full duplex Fiber cable MM 50/125 micron meters, 62.5/125micron meters recommended Module Installatio[...]

3.4 Making Trunk Connections Two switch units can be cascaded together through any regular switched data port on each unit when a port expansion is required. However, the transfer bandwidth between the two cascaded ports is limited to 200Mbps full duplex. To increase the bandwidth for the connection between two switch units, a trunking function is [...]

The following figure illustrates a typical example of trunk connections between more than two switch units. Each trunk is a 2-port trunk. There are four trunks existing in this example. Each has 400Mbps bandwidth. The top switch is con - figured to have four trunks and is cascaded to four lower switch units. 12[...]

3.5 Virtual LAN (VLAN) Each port o f the switch unit connects to one individual LAN segment. There can be many Ethernet nodes located on each segment. The switch performs network data forwarding between different LAN segments. It allows Ethernet nodes located on different segments to communicate with each other. Basically, all Ethernet nodes are in[...]

4. LED Indicators 4.1 LED Panels The switch provides comprehensive LED indicators for diagnosing and monitoring the operation o f the unit as illustrated below: 4.2 Interpretation Power LED: indicates the status o f the power supplied to the switch. Link/Act. LED: indicates the port cable link and traffic activity. Speed LED: indicates the connecti[...]

5. Performing Network Management 5.1 Management Support The switch is featured with management functions and can be managed by using the following methods: · Direct console connection over an RS232 cable · Web browser software from Internet or Intranet over TCP/IP network · Telnet software over TCP/IP network · SNMP manager software over TCP/IP[...]

5.2 Management objects The following table lists the management objects supported by the system: Login Basic Management Activities • General Management Configuration - system parameters • LAN Port Configuration - speed, link type, duplex, flow control • Console Port Configuration - console baud rate, flow control, modem control Advanced Manag[...]

5.3 Setting IP Address Before performing any management operation over network, the most important thing is to learn the detailed information about the TCP/IP network where the managed unit is located. The information includes the network address, subnet mask, broadcast I P , IP o f the default router. The second thing is to assign an IP address to[...]

5.4 Web Management Use any web browser with J AV A script support like Netscape Communicator 4.x or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later on any platform. Connect to the managed unit using the IP address as URL address. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Refer to the operation manual provided in the supplied CD-ROM for the details. User name and password is[...]

Contact the MiLAN web site for available software version. 5.8 Support This guide covers the basic information about the management functions supported by the managed switch. The detailed operation guides for all management functions are available in the software operation manual in the supplied CD-ROM. However, more features may be included into f[...]
