CHAPTER 2. INSTALLATION
The MSW-4424C(S) are designed to be placed on the flat desktop or to be mounted in a standardized 19-inch
rack for rack-mount placement. The switch you purchase should come with rack-mounting brackets from the factory
and these brackets are used for rack-mounting installation.
Besides, MSW-4424C(S) are equipped with built-in power and fan modules. Types of power modules available are
AC, DC, AC+DC, two AC and two DC power modules. Fans which are not removable are located on the rear panel of
the device. If you need to repair fan modules, please contact your sales representatives.
In this section, we will provide necessary information about fiber connections, console connection, power
connection and wall-mounting installation. Definitions of LED indicators are also provided at the end of this section.
2.1 Fiber Connections
The MSW-4424C(S) Series utilize SFP modules for fiber transmissions. Each of the fiber ports has an associated
status LED to indicate the presence or absence of fiber link and will also flash when there is Ethernet activity on the
port. For port 1 to port 20, each of SFP cages may insert any standard SFP module and be configured for 100M or
1000M operation.
For port 21 to port 24, they are dual media combo ports meaning that you can either use
10/100/1000M RJ-45 or 100/1000M SFP for service connection. For port 25 to port 28, each of SFP cages may insert
any SFP+ module that supports 1/10G Ethernet connectivity. Having SFP+ option for uplink connectivity offers
customers a wide variety of applications for data center, enterprise wiring closet and service provider transport.

2.2 MGMT Port Connection
The MSW-4424C(S) have a MGMT (Management) port for in-band management via TCP/IP connectivity. The
MGMT port allows you to access Command Line Interface (CLI) using Telnet or Web management over TCP/IP using
standard web browsers.
When you use the switch for the first time or restore the switch to the factory defaults, you can use RJ-45 cable
to directly connect MGMT port to your management PC. Then, run a Telnet facility or web browser to communicate
with the device over a TCP/IP network using the default IP address 10.1.1.1. For Telnet connection, up to four active
Telnet sessions can access the Switch concurrently. After you successfully login to the switch, you can change the IP
address to the desired one (See Chapter 3 & 4 for setting up new IP address).

2.3 Console Port Connection
The MSW-4424C(S) have an asynchronous terminal console port for local management via a serial terminal. The
terminal provides management via a CLI (Command Line Interface) which will be familiar to many networking
engineers. For most users, the CLI can be used to initially configure TCP/IP access so that further configuration can be
completed via the GUI (Graphical User Interface) and any web browser.
