Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules Installation This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the 17-Port Switch. Selecting a Site for the Switch As with any electric device, you should place the switch where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference.
Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules Connecting to Your Network Cabling y First, ensure the power of the switch and end devices is turned off. Always ensure that the power is off before any installation. y Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use. To connect two regular RJ-45 ports between switches or hubs, you need a cross-over cable. y Consult Table 3 below for cabling requirements based on connectors and speed.
Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules Module Installation The installation for 8-port module and single-port module is the same. Take single-port fiber module for example. y Remove the module from the static-free container. y Unscrew the cover plate of the expansion slot. The slot for single-port module is located at the right side of the switch. y Remove the plate and keep it for future use when you decide to remove this module.
Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules Switch Configuration This section explains the configuration of VLAN and trunking settings. Setting up Console Port Connection To configure your switch through the console port, it is necessary to first configure a terminal emulation program. The HyperTerminal for Windows 95, 98, and NT is suggested. y First, check the switch, cables, and computers for proper installation before configuration.
Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules Main Menu This main menu shows you the default configuration of the switch. By default, all TX ports are set at auto-negotiation and flow control on, all FX ports are set at 100Mbps with full duplex and flow control off, and all ports are grouped into V1 (VLAN group 1).
Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules Port Settings The duplex mode and speed can be altered and the flow control can be turned on/off to accommodate special needs.
Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules TX Ports Consult the following table for a brief description on TX ports: Table 5: Mode Setting on TX Ports Communication Mode Description Flow control on / off Y (on) / N (off) Auto Auto-Negotiation 100FD 100Mbps at full duplex mode 100HD 100Mbps at half duplex mode 10FD 10Mbps at full duplex mode 10HD 10Mbps at half duplex mode 18
Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules Port-based VLAN & Settings The 17-Port Switch allows up to sixteen port-based VLAN domains. Assign each port to a VLAN group or a couple of VLAN groups according to accessibility needs. The VLAN setting: follow these steps to assign VLAN groups.

Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules MAC-based Trunking & Settings Trunking is also called link aggregation, which serves as a shortcut to increase the bandwidth on your network. Trunking is a method of physically linking together several ports to act as a single port with higher bandwidth. This functionality allows scaling of bandwidth. The 17-Port Switch supports trunking of up to 4 ports, either 2-port or 4-port.
Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules The trunking ports will be disabled for VLAN group settings.
