Chapter 2 Installation
Installing the P118
The procedure for getting the P118 up and running depends on whether the switch
is to operate standalone or as part of a stack.
First, attach the adhesive rubber legs to the base of the P110 switch. If the switch is
to be rack mounted, do not attach the legs.
Standalone Operation - Plug ‘n’ Play
Getting the P110 switch working is quick and easy:
1. Connect the power cable to the switch.
2. Connect the cables to the front panel ports.
If you are operating the P118 in stand-alone mode, you must insert a P110
NMA agent. Please refer to the P110 NMA Installation Guide for details.
3. The switch is now fully operational. By default, all 10/100 ports will operate in
half duplex mode.
Stacking Operation
If you are using the P118 as part of a stack, you only need one P110 NMA for the
entire stack.
•
If there is a P110 NMA already in the stack then ensure it is in the topmost
P110 switch and remove the additional NMA.
•
If there is no NMA in the stack then place the P118 at the top of the stack.
To check what software version you have, see the agent configuration window in
CajunView (on UNIX) or P110 Manager (on Windows), or see the setup main
menu of the P110 NMA.
1. Before adding a switch to the P110 stack, turn off the main power to the stack,
by individually switching off each switch
2. Place the P110 NMA in the top switch of the stack
3. If
the P110 NMA contains agent software version 8.6 or higher, go to step 5.
4. If the P110 NMA does not contain the agent software version 8.6, you should
perform a software download of the latest version. The software is on the
diskette that came with the P118. Download is performed via TFTP using a
Terminal console or via the timed Download application from your
management station– details can be found in the P110 NMA installation
Guide.
5. Place the P118 switch in the stack. The P110 NMA must be in the top switch of
the stack.
To ensure proper ventilation, ensure that all empty P110 NMA slots in the
stack are closed.
