CHAPTER 3: Installation
3.7 LAN Interface
You can remotely control the switch via the TCP/IP LAN control port (RJ-45
connector). Simply connect the LAN ports of your computer and switch to an
Ethernet hub on your network, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2. 16-port 10/100 Physical Layer Switch controlled via its TCP/IP
LAN port.
3.8 Connecting Multiple 32-Port Physical Layer Switches
Up to 32 switches can be controlled by a single RS-232 serial interface or LAN
control port. To operate in this configuration, set the serial ports to operate in
daisychain mode and assign a unique device number to each switch. (To select the
daisychain mode, go to the
Configuration
menu,
Communications
tab, and click
on the
Serial/LAN Port, Daisychain Mode
button.) The 32-port switches have
in/out ports for cascading. However, the 16-port switches have only an in port. You
can cascade one 16-port switch at the end of a daisychain of three 32-port switches
as shown in Figure 3-3. Or, control four 32-port switches via one LAN port
(Figure 3-4).
