1. Carefully remove the switch and accessories from the shipping container and inspect
them for damage. Contact Red Lion immediately if any damage is discovered.
2. Install the mounting brackets using the #10-32 screws provided. There should be four
per bracket. The same brackets may be used
for both standard and reverse mounted
configurations.
3. Install the switch into your rack using standard
rack hardware which is not included with the
switch. Alternatively, you can skip the rack
installation if you would like to configure the
switch beforehand.
4. Plug in your SFP transceivers as desired.
5. Connect a power source to the switch as appropriate
for the model you have. Please check the part number
and make sure you are applying the correct power.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure to turn off your power
before making any connections to the switch. Make sure you are applying the correct
power to the correct screws. Follow all local, national or regulatory rules that apply.
6. Turn on the power to the switch. The Pwr 1 and/or Pwr 2 LED should be on solid.
7. Plug in your Ethernet cables and the switch will immediately start to pass data.
8. Now you may configure the switch for more advanced operations. To manage the
switch there are two primary interface methods: CLI (Command Line Interface) and
Web UI (User Interface). See the back to start managing the switch.
Accessing your switch over the network using the default IP address:
1.
Connect the switch directly to your PC’s Ethernet port using any Ethernet patch cable.
The switch’s default IP and subnet are 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0.
2. On your PC, go to Control Panel - Network Connections and access the properties for
your LAN’s Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Select “Use this IP address” and set the IP &
subnet to 192.168.0.100 & 255.255.255.0. Close and reboot if prompted.
3. Run a web browser such as Internet Explorer and type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar
and hit the enter key. Use “admin” for both the username and password to access the
web interface.
4. In the IP Configuration screen, enter your desired IP and subnet, or enable DHCP. Click
on Apply to save these new settings to the switch.
5. To make this change permanent you must go to the Copy screen under File
Management and select “running-config to startup-config” and click on Apply
6. Repeat step 2 to return your PC to its original IP address and subnet mask.
