3.4 Preparing for Installation Switches can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Follow these general precautions when planning your equipment locations and connections. The site needs the following: • Centrally located to the devices you want to link • Near a power outlet.
• Antistatic mat or foam 3.6 Installing the Switch The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or place on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. 3.6.1 Mounting the Switch in a Rack When installing this unit in an empty rack, mount it at the bottom. When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom.
1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the switch. 2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper airflow. 3. Place each device squarely on top of the one below, in any order. When installation is complete refer to the “Applying Power” section. 3.7 Applying Power The system’s front panel LED display allows you to monitor the status of the switch. Follow these steps to connect the switch. 1.
When attaching a workstation to the switch, a standard straight-through CAT5 cable may be used. 3.9 Connecting to the Console Port The DB-9 serial port located on the front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The on-board configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The pin assignments used to connect to the serial port are provided in the following tables. 3.9.
Chapter 4: Connecting Network Devices The switch is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, and to hubs, routers, or other switches. 4.1 Twisted-Pair Devices Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use Category 5 for 100BaseTX connections, and Category 3, 4 or 5 for 10BaseT connections.
Chapter 5: Configuring the Switch This chapter takes you through the steps required to initially connect the switch to a console, set up initial passwords, configure an IP address, and restore factory defaults. For complete information about configuring, monitoring, and maintaining your switch, refer to the System Management Guide. 5.1 Connecting to the Switch The switch includes a built-in network management agent.
5.2 Direct Access Direct access to the switch console is achieved by connecting the null-modem cable to the switch’s console port to a VT-100 or compatible terminal or to a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation equipped with a terminal-emulation program. The following list provides examples of terminal-emulation programs: • HyperTerminal (which is built into the Microsoft Windows operating systems) • ZTerm (Apple Macintosh) • TIP (UNIX workstation) Follow these steps to set up the connection.
Connection Settings The port settings are as follows: Baud Rate: 9600 Data Bits: 8 Parity: None Stop Bits: 1 Flow Control: None 1. Enter the settings. 2. Click OK. 5.3 Initial Logon The switch offers a Command Menu Interface (CMI), which is a menu-driven method for managing the switch, as well as a Command Line Interface (CLI), which uses text input to manage the switch. Unless otherwise noted, the screen examples in this chapter are from the CLI.
To use the arrow keys when attached to the User Interface using a Telnet Session, under the terminal pull down menu choose Properties and activate the VT100 Arrows option.
Chapter 6: Using the Interface The main menu displays available sub-menus. The letter within square bracket of each menu option can be typed to directly choose that option. From the main menu there are seven menu items to choose from: • General Information • Basic Configuration • Advanced Switch Configuration • Statistics • Switch Tools Configuration • Save Configuration • Run CLI To logout of the user interface, press the Ctrl and D keys at anytime during your telnet session.
• Administration Configuration • IP Configuration • SNMP Configuration • Port Configuration • System Security • Forwarding DB • SNTP Configuration • ARP Table • Quit to previous menu 6.3 Advanced Switch Configuration The Advanced Switch Configuration screen allows you to configure several advanced system-related settings. There are 10 submenus on the Advanced Switch Configuration screen.
6.6 Save Configuration Use this submenu to save the changed settings to the Flash memory after making any changes to the screens within the console interface. To save the configuration to Flash memory select Save Configuration and then press either ‘Enter’ or ‘Y’. 6.7 Run CLI Use this submenu to configure the switch using the command line interface (CLI). To return to the menu-driven interface type “exit”.
