Chapter 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION This section describes the hardware features and installation of these Switches. For easier management and control of the switch, familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before connecting any network device to the switch, read this chapter carefully. Furthermore, there are six choices of different modules for expansion: l WGSW-D1GT: 10/100/1000Base-T module

FDX/COL Steady The port is connected at Full-Duplex mode Amber Off The port is connected at Half-Duplex mode. A collision occurs when two stations within a collision domain attempt to transmit data at the same time. Intermittent flashing amber of the collision LED is normal; the contending adapters resolve each collision by means of a wait-then-retransmit algorithm. Frequency of collisions is an indicator of heavy traffic on the network Flashing Collision happens on the port Amber

4. The connecting device, including any network adapter is well installed and functioning. 5. Confirm the connection distance is implemented within the scope of operative without interference. 2.2 Rear Panel The rear panel of the switch indicates an AC inlet power socket, which accepts input power from 100 to 240VAC, 50-60Hz, one RS-232 console port for setting up the switch via a connection to a terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program, and two slide-in slots for installing a

Console Port The RS-232 console is an interface for connecting a terminal directly. Through the console port, it provides rich diagnostic information includes network statistics, link status and system setting. The operating mode of the console port is: ♦ DCE ♦ 9600 (Fix baud rate) ♦ n (No parity checking) ♦ 8 (8 Data bits) ♦ 1 (1 stop bit) ♦ None (No flow control) You can use a normal RS-232 cable and connect to the console port on the device. After the connection, you can run an

2. Cabling is away from: w Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers w Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures. 3. Keep water or moisture off. 4. Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is great for heat radiation (company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25 mm clearance). To prolong the operational life of your units: 1. Never stack unit more than eight sets high if freestanding. 2. Do not place objec

3. Push the module gently into the slot along the slide tracks. 4. Ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector then tighten the screws to secure the module. CAUTION: The slide-in slots are not hot swappable, power off the switch before installing modules. 2.4 Stack Installation There are two RJ-45 ports on the front panel for proprietary management stack. Only straight-through UTP/STP cable can be used. Plug one end of the cable in the “IN” port and the other end to the ”OUT” po

Chapter 3 CONSOLE AND TELNET MANAGEMENT 3.1 Connect To PC by RS-232 serial Cable NOTE: If you have stacked several switches together, make sure you are working on Master switch (switch with least Switch ID). Other slave switches’ management interface allows only viewing the configuration by “guest” account. To configure the system, connect the provided serial cable to a COM port on a PC or notebook computer and to serial (console) port of the device. The console port of the device is D

2. Start the Telnet program on a PC and connect to the switch. The management interface is exactly the same with RS-232 console management except the “root” privilege is not supported. 3.3 Main Menu After you enter the switch’s console interface by RS-232 cable or telnet, the following page is shown. Please enter username and password to access WGSW-2403. There are three system default accounts for different privilege levels: “root”: root can do any configuration includes changing p

CHAPTER 4 WEB MANAGEMENT 4.1 Start A Web Browser Session TM The Web Interface of WGSW-2403 is coded by Java Applet and running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) version 1.3.1 platform. You should configure the management station with an IP address and subnet mask compatible with WGSW-2403 for accessing it. Also, the management station should be well configured and connected to Internet for automatically downloading (upgrading) the suitable JVM through Internet from http://java.sun.com.
