1.1 General Description The device is a 24-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Web-Smart Switch. Compared with traditional 10/100Mbps Ethernet, the switch delivers a dedicated Gigabit connection to every attached client with no congestion issues. The gigabit ports also provide a larger pipe to the server or backbone connectivity for boosting total system performance.
1.3 Key Features • • • • • • • • • • • • • 24 fixed 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports Provides Auto-discovery Function for easy network management Provides 8K MAC address entries 24 groups VLAN table Supports up to 8 groups (of up to 8 ports each) port aggregation Supports QoS-TOS, Shaper, Policer and Storm for enhanced network management Supports full duplex flow control and half duplex back pressure Store-and-forward forwarding scheme Error packet filtering Supports Jumbo frame 9.
Wiring for 10/100/1000Mbps (Copper) Below is the summary of the cabling required: Media Speed 10Mbps Wiring Category 3,4,5 UTP/STP 10/100/1000Mbps copper 100Mbps Category 5 UTP/STP 1000Mbps Category 5,5e UTP/STP LED Definition The rich diagnostic LEDs on the front panel help display the operating status of individual ports as well as the entire system. Power LED This indicator is lit green when the switch is receiving power; otherwise, it is off.
This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, on the floor, or mounted in a rack. Users can immediately use most of the features simply by attaching the cables and turning the power on. 2.1 Desktop Installation For desktop installation, the switch needs to be put on a clean, flat desk or table close to a power outlet. After you have plugged in all network cables and the power cord, the system is ready. Before installing the switch, you must ensure that: 1.
2.3 Installing Network Cables Station Connections Refer to the wiring statement of the previous section; connect each station/device to the switch with the correct cables. Switch-to-Switch Connections In making a switch-to-switch connection, using every port to connect another switch or backbone is strongly recommended. The gigabit ports provide a larger pipe to the server or backbone for boosting the total system performance.
3.1 PHY Monitoring and Port Mode Setup One of the software’s major tasks is to continuously monitor the PHYs in order to set up the switch ports according to whether the link is up or down, and in the latter case, what the current speed, duplex mode and pause capabilities are. The PHYs are polled every 100 ms. 3.2 Flow Control In the 16-port switch, flow control (back pressure) is also supported in half duplex. Flow control can be enabled or disabled on a per-port basis from the command line interface.
This section instructs you on how to enter and set up the configurations, which can be accessed by RS-232 serial port (out-of-band) on the rear panel or by Telnet session / Internet Browser over the network (in-band). Factory Default value: IP: 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254 4.
In-Band Connections (Web Browser / Telnet) To manage the switch through in-band access, you should configure the management station with an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your switch. 1. Run your Web Browser and enter the IP address “192.168.1.1” as the URL in the “address” field. 2. Key in the User name and password to pass the authentication. The factory default User Name and Password are both “admin”. 3. After the authentication procedure, the switch’s homepage will appear.
4.2 Homepage On the Home page, you can select what you would like to configure by clicking the menu tabs located at the top of the homepage. They include: • • • • • • • • System Ports VLANS Aggregation QoS Mirror Statistics Discovery Example of place where you will need to replace generic homepage with screenshot of customized page with Hawking logo.
To restore the default values of switch, click the “Default” button at the top of the homepage. If you want to reboot the switch, click the “Reboot” Button. To check the connection status of each port, from 1 to 16, take a look at the port monitor. When the port shows green, it is connected. Otherwise it will remain dark. To know the detailed statistics for each port, click on it and the window will show.
4.2.1 System To set up the system configurations such as login values, time-out values, and for enabling the VLAN Management: Items Mac Address S/W Version H/W Version Inactivity Timeout (Secs) System name IP Address Subnet Mask Gateway Name Password Functions The Mac Address of the switch To look up the Software Version, see here. The Hardware version Set the console inactivity timeout in seconds. The value zero disables the timeout. Timeout value in seconds, 0, 60-10000.
Note: After you change the IP address, the switch will reboot itself. You may click the new address to link the New IP Address with your browser. 4.2.2 Ports On this page, you can view the port status, set up the speed “Mode” and enable the “FDX Flow Control”.
Items Functions Link Shows the status of each port. When it is red, it means the connection is down. Otherwise, it is green. Mode Choose the Speed mode of port: 10/100/1000, Half/Full. To disable the port, choose “Disable”. If you set to auto-speed, it will be autonegotiation. FDX Flow To Enable the FDX Flow control, Control click the check box. Max Frame To adjust the Frame length, enter the length value you want. The larger the value is, the better network performance you will have. The default is 1518.
PVID When the VLAN-enabled switch receives a tagged packet, the packet will be sent to the port’s default VLAN according to the PVID (port VLAN ID) of the receiving port. Items Port PVID Aware Only Tagged Apply Functions Port Number 1~16 Port VLAN ID To enable the PVID checking and inserting of one port, select “AWARE” Block the untagged frame. Don’t forget to Click “Apply” to save the changes you made.
4.2.4 Aggregation/Trunking Configuration To set up the Port trunk groups, put the port numbers into the same Aggregation group line. There are eight groups that can be made. Do not forget to click the “Apply” to save the settings. The maximum number of ports for one group is 8. There are three aggregation modes for you to setup, SMAC (Source MAC), DMAC (Destination MAC), and XOR.
4.2.5 Qos There is one mode of Quality of Service to choose: custom TOS. 4.2.5.1 Quality of Service (QoS) TOS Configuration To improve the network performance by applying the TOS, set up the priority of eight groups of precedence bits on this page. There are two types to choose, high or low.
4.2.5.2 QoS Port Shaper To control the port data’s flow rate, select “Enable” and enter the value you need from 250 - 1000000Kbps. Any packet size that is larger than the limit will be discarded. Click “Apply” to save.
4.2.5.3 QoS Port Policer To control the port data’s flow rate, select “Enable” and enter the Value you need from 250 - 1000000K bps. If the packet size that is larger than the limit, the switch will make the associated client suspend the frame transmission by using back pressure or pause frame. Click “Apply” to save. 4.2.5.4 QoS Port Storm To prevent a broadcast storm, the switch provides the multicast packet size setting. You can select “Enable”, enter the value, and click “Apply” to activate the setting.
4.2.6 Mirror Port mirror is used to mirror traffic from a source port to a target port for analysis. Only 2 ports can be monitored (mirrored) simultaneously to 1 Monitor port (target port). (Note that the target port must be in the same VLAN as the source port.) Items Functions Monitor Port Select the switch port, from 1 to 16 to be the target port to collect traffic info Source Ports To select the mirror ports, click the check box of the port.
4.2.7 Statistics To check the status of port traffic, click the “Statistic” tab. You can click the “Clear” button to erase all records or click “Refresh” to show the most current status. 4.2.8 Discovery When you install several our 16-port and 24-port gigabit web-smart switches, the discovery management tool helps you to search and access those switches on the LAN easily. Therefore you can access any switch on your LAN without memorizing those IP addresses.
4.2.9 Default To restore to default values, 1. Click the default button on the homepage. 2. Click “Yes” to restore default values. Do not power off the switch while it is working. 4.2.10 Reboot To reboot the switch, 1. Click the “Reboot” button on the homepage 2. Click “Yes” to reboot. Do not power off the switch while it is working.
