Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The OmniStack® 6200 series has six platforms: • OS-LS-6224 – Ethernet based switch with 24 RJ-45 10/100Base-TX ports, two Gigabit combo uplink ports (with SFP or 10/100/1000Base-TX interfaces) and two ports full-duplex Gigabit stacking • OS-LS-6224P – Ethernet based switch with 24 RJ-45 10/100Base-TX ports providing standard-based Power over Ethernet, two Gigabit combo uplink ports (with SFP or 10/100/1000Base-TX interfaces) and two ports full-duplex Gigabit stacking • OS-LS
1 Introduction SNMP applications. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the RS-232 console port (out-of-band), or you can manage the switch through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board Web agent, or Windows-based network management software. For a detailed description of the switch’s advanced features, refer to the User Guide. Description of Hardware Figure 1-1.
Description of Hardware 1 Status LEDs The LEDs, which are located on the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the following table. Figure 1-2. Port LEDs Figure 1-3. Combo Port LEDs Table 1-1. Port Status LEDs Port Status LEDs LED Condition Status On Green A port has established a valid network connection, it is linked. Flashing Green Activity has been detected on the port. On Amber A port has established a valid network connection, it is linked.

Diag BPS Stack 1-8 Off Power off or failure. Flashing Green System self-diagnostic test in progress. On Green System self-diagnostic test successfully completed. On Amber System self-diagnostic test has failed. On Green The Backup Power Supply is connected and operating normally.
Features and Benefits 1 Optional Backup Power Supply The switch supports an optional Backup Power Supply (BPS), that can supply power to the switch in the event of failure of the internal power supply. Power Supply Receptacles There are two power receptacles on the rear panel of the switch. The standard power receptacle is for the AC power cord. The receptacle labeled “BPS” is for the optional Backup Power Supply. Figure 1-5.

Chapter 2: Installing the Switch Selecting a Site Switches can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. • The site should: • be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.
2 Installing the Switch RJ-45 Connector Figure 2-1. RJ-45 Connections Equipment Checklist After unpacking the switch, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment.
Mounting 2 Mounting A switch unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. Rack Mounting Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors: • Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. (See page C-30.
2 2. Installing the Switch Mount the device in the rack, using rack-mounting screws (not provided). Figure 2-3. Installing the Switch in a Rack 3. If installing a single switch only, turn to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. 4. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order. Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch. Figure 2-4. Attaching the Adhesive Feet 2.
Connecting to a Power Source 2 are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. 3. If installing a single switch only, go to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. 4. If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each one. Place each device squarely on top of the one below, in any order. Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver into the Switch Figure 2-5. Inserting an SFP Transceiver into a Slot To install an SFP transceiver, do the following: 1.
2 Installing the Switch Figure 2-6. Power Receptacle 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country. 3. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure the Power LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in. 4.
Chapter 3: Making Network Connections Connecting Network Devices This switch is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected to devices using optional SFP transceivers. Twisted-Pair Devices Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
3 Making Network Connections 2. If the device is a PC card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See “Wiring Closet Connections” on the next page.) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch. 3. Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.
Fiber Optic SFP Devices 3 Fiber Optic SFP Devices An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, or 1000BASE-LX) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high-speed server. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends. Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends.
3 Making Network Connections Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. However, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.
Connectivity Rules 3 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Collision Domain Table 3-4. Maximum Fast Ethernet Cable Distance Type Cable Type Max. Cable Length 100BASE-TX Category 5 or better 100-ohm UTP or STP 100 m (328 ft) Connector RJ-45 10 Mbps Ethernet Collision Domain Table 3-5.
3 Making Network Connections Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption. To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these guidelines: • Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.
Appendix A: Troubleshooting Diagnosing Switch Indicators Table A-1. Troubleshooting Chart Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Power LED is Off • Check connections between the switch, the power cord, and the wall outlet. • Contact your dealer for assistance. Link LED is Off • Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on. • Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device. • Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified limits.
A Troubleshooting subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location and the switch.
Appendix B: Cables Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards. For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
