Quick Start Guide
If you do not need to apply VLANs, Quality of Service, adjust any settings or manage the switch
via the network, then the switch can be used “straight-from-the-box” to carry network traffic. In
that case, no further action is needed. If you want to use the management settings or controls,
then a little work is needed to configure the switch.
1. After the installation is completed and AC power is applied to the switch, the unit will
automatically perform a diagnostic test. The switch loads its operating code from memory
and performs a full power-on self test. The screen will display the self-test progress, but do
not press any keys at this stage. This power-up sequence takes approx. 90 seconds to
complete. The web interface will take a further 30 seconds to become operational.
2. Configure you PC terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal to allow it to
communicate with the switch via the supplied serial cable connected to the front panel
Console port. Set the emulation program for 9600, 8, No Parity, No Flow Control. See page
12 for details
3. When the password and user name prompt is displayed, use the default username of
root
in lower case letters. Use the password
root
. The main menu screen will be displayed. Use
either cursor keys or the tab key to navigate up and down the menu. Select the item using
the <CR> key. The <ESC> key will return you to the previous menu level.
4. If the switch is to be managed over the LAN using the Telnet, SNMP or the web browser
functions, then an IP address is to be assigned to the switch. See page 20 for details. If the
switch is not being managed over the LAN, then go to page 12 below.
5. Once an IP address has been assigned to the switch, it should be possible to PING the
switch over the network. This will prove that the switch is present and responding correctly
to network requests.
6. Now that the switch can be accessed over the network, use a browser application to open
up the configuration screens. Enter the switch IP address into the browser Address window
and use the same user name and password set as in 3 above.
7. Using the preferred method (console, Telnet or web browser), configure the switch to meet
your network requirements. Always save the configuration at the end of each action.
8. If you need to revert the switch back to the factory default configuration, then see page 37.
