Setting the DIP switches
First, set the DIP switches. The drawing below shows the default positions of the DIP
switches on the rear panel of the Cajun P115G.

The DIP switches control the three groups of eight 10/100 Mbps ports and the uplink
port. The ports can also be controlled by CajunView, or any SNMP network
management application via the Cajun P110 NMA. A detailed explanation of the DIP
Switches follows.
•
USE SW (Use Switches): Selects whether the 10/100 mode will be controlled from
the management station or by the DIP switches.
When set to ON, 10/100 Mbps switch and uplink settings are determined by the
DIP switches only. Settings can be monitored, but not changed, by the management
station.
When set to OFF, the DIP switch settings are ignored and the 10/100 Mbps port
and uplink functionality are controlled from the management station via the Cajun
P110 NMA.
Set to ON when you do not have SNMP management, or when you want to
ensure that the settings cannot be changed through management.
Notes:
•
In standalone mode (that is, with no Cajun P110 NMA installed), the 10/100 mode
is always controlled via DIP switches 100M 1-8, 100M 9-16, and 100M 17-24,
irrespective of the position of the USE SW DIP switch.
•
Configure all ports to 100M unless they are specifically used in 10M mode.
•
Always reset the unit after changing switch configurations.
