1.2.3 Installing the SFP Modules and Fiber Cable
1. Slide the selected SFP module into one of the four Gigabit SFP slots below the RS-232 port,
making sure the SFP module is aligned correctly with the inside of the slot.
2. Insert and slide the module into the SFP slot until it clicks into place, removing any rubber
plugs that may be present in the SFP module’s mouth.
3. Align the fiber cable’s connector with the SFP module’s mouth and slide the connector in
until a click is heard. (To pull the connector out, first push down the release clip on top of the
connector.) Check the corresponding port led on the front panel to be sure the connection
is valid (see subsection 1.1.4).
TiP: To properly connect fiber cabling, check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean
the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little
ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted
through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.
1.2.4 connecting copper cable
The 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ethernet port fully supports auto-sensing and auto negotiation.
1. Insert one end of a Category 3/4/5/5e twisted-pair cable into an available RJ-45 port on the
switch and the other end into the port of the network node.
2. Check the corresponding port led on the front panel to ensure the connection is valid (see
subsection 1.1.4).
1.2.5 connecting the console Port cable
The console port (dB-9) provides the out-of-band management facility.
1. Use null modem cable to connect the console port on the front panel of the switch to the
computer CoM port.
2. Configure the HyperTerminal settings as explained in the next section(s).
1.2.6 connecting to computers or a Lan
Use ethernet cable (either crossover or straight-through) to connect computers (or hubs or
other switches) directly to the Managed layer 3 Access Switch ports. NOTE: Use a twisted-
pair Category 5 ethernet cable to connect the 1000Base-T port; otherwise, the link speed
cannot reach 1 Gbps.

2.1 system overview
This system can be managed three ways:
• out-of-band through the console port on the front panel;
• In-band by using Telnet; or
• By using Web-based management — accessible through a Web browser— which allows you
to configure the switch, monitor the LED panel and display statistics graphically after a
successful installation.
