1 Product Overview 1 Product Overview Introduction Windows Remote Management software Conventionally, configuring a switch's smart management will require users to attach the computer (serial or printer port) directly to the switch's console port. With Ether-FSH2400RS's in-band management capability, users can configure the switch through the Ethernet network. The included Windows management software provides a very simple point-and-click interface to set all the functions.
1 Product Overview prevents the broadcast traffic from overflowing the network. Loop detection alert the user when there is a loop formed inside the network on the front panel LED. The management software's diagnostic function even report which ports the loop occurs. Port setting setting port speed and duplex mode, flow control Authentication Keys The switch support authentication key feature for the management function. This will prevent unauthorized users from changing the switch’s settings.
1 Product Overview VLAN membership by groups of switch ports. Port grouping is the most common method of defining VLAN membership, and its configuration is straightforward. But, when a user moves from one port to another, it takes a network manager to manually reconfigure VLAN membership. With manual VLAN configuration, both the initial setup and all subsequent moves and changes are controlled by the network administrator, enabling a high degree of control.

2 Preparation before Installation You can turn the power switch on /off to activate/deactivate the Switch. To turn on the Switch, press the switch to the ON position. To turn off, press the switch to the OFF position. AC Power Connector This is a three-pronged power connector where the power cord should be attached. Just plug the female end of the power cord into the connector, and the male end of the power cord into an AC power outlet.
3 Installation of the Switch 3 Installation of the Switch Quick Installation Ether-FSH2400RS Fast Ethernet Switch is fully compliant with 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet standards. 5 Steps to Quick Installation Step 1. Power on the Switch. Step 2. Connect network devices to the Switch: connect either workstation, server, switch, bridge or router to the station port (10/100BASE-TX), using 100 ohm unshielded twisted pair (category 5 UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable. Step 3.
2 Preparation before Installation Fig. 3-2 Attaching the Switch to a 19-inch rack Desktop Installation Ether-FSH2400RS Fast Ethernet Switch has four rubber pads attached on each corner of its underside. These pads serve as cushionings against vibration and prevent the switch from sliding off its position. They also allow adequate ventilation space when you place the switch on top of another device. Fig.
3 Installation of the Switch • • • • • and direct sunlight. The switch should not be placed near large electric motors or other strong electromagnetic sources. As a reference, the strength of the electromagnetic field on site should not exceed the (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2(3V/M) field strength. The air temperature in the location should be within a range of 32 to 122 °F (0 to 55°C). The relative humidity in the location should not exceed 95% non-condensing humidity.
2 Preparation before Installation The twisted-pair cable provided an eight-pin plug at each end that mate with the twisted-pair port on the adapter and with a RJ-45 wall jack. If you are marking your own interface cables to use as dedicated network wiring or as extension cables, please follow the guideline below: Each UTP/STP cable contains eight wires in either 568A or 568B color scheme (please see Fig 2-7). The wires are twisted in pairs to reduce cross talk and various signal noises.
