Installation Guidelines

This section will discuss the hardware installation guidelines that the user must follow in order to properly and safely install this switch into the appropriate environment.

•  Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to both the power connector, on the Switch, and the electrical outlet that supplies power.
•  Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place within the acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges.
•  Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators such as motors, vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

Installing the Switch without a Rack

This section is used to guide the user through installing the Switch in an area other than a switch rack. Attach the included rubber feet to the bottom of the Switch. Take note that there should be marked blocks on the bottom of the Switch to indicate where to attach the rubber feet. These markings are usually found in each corner on the bottom of the device. The rubber feet cushion the Switch, protecting the casing from scratches and preventing it from scratching other surfaces.
Attaching rubber feet to the Switch

Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support the weight of the Switch. Do not place any heavy objects on the Switch. The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front, sides, and rear of the Switch for ventilation.

Installing the Switch in a Standard 19” Rack
This section is used to guide the user through installing the Switch into a switch rack. The Switch can be mounted in a standard 19″(1U) rack using the provided mounting brackets. Fasten the mounting brackets to the sides of the Switch using the screws provided. Fasten the mounting brackets in any available open space in the rack using the screws provided.

Installing Transceivers into the Transceiver Ports
The Switch is equipped with Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) and Enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) ports that can be used to connect various other networking devices to this switch that do not support the standard RJ-45 wiring connection. These ports are generally used to connect this switch to optical fiber connections and can be used to connect devices to the Switch over great distances. The maximum distance that the RJ-45 wiring connection can reach is 100 meters. Fiber optic connections can span several kilometers.

Power On (AC Power)
Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power socket of the Switch and the other end into the local power source outlet. After the system is powered on, the LED will blink green to indicate that the system is booting up.

Power Failure (AC Power)
In the event of a power failure, just as a precaution, unplug the power cord from the Switch. After the power returns, plug the power cord back into the power socket of the Switch.

Installing Power Cord Retainer
To prevent accidental removal of the AC power cord, it is recommended to install the power cord retainer together with the power cord.
With the rough side facing down, insert the tie wrap into the hole below the power socket.

Insert Tie Wrap into the Switch
Plug the AC power cord into the power socket of the Switch.
 Connect the power cord to the Switch
Slide the retainer through the tie wrap until the end of the cord.Slide the Retainer through the Tie Wrap
Circle the tie of the retainer around the power cord and into the locker of the retainer. Fasten the tie of the retainer until the power cord is secured.

Installing the Redundant Power Supply (RPS)

The Redundant Power Supply (RPS) is designed to conform to the wattage requirements of D-Link’s Ethernet and Gigabit switches. It is an external RPS unit enclosed in solid metal case with sockets to connect AC or DC power sources on one end, and to connect to a switch’s internal power supply on the other end. The RPS provides a low-cost, simple solution to the problem of an inadvertent failure of the internal power supply of an Ethernet switch, which can result in the shutdown of that switch, the devices attached to its ports, or an entire network.

CAUTION: Do not connect the RPS to AC power before the DC power cable is connected. This might damage the internal power supply.
CAUTION: Leave at least 15 cm (6 inches) of space at the rear of the Switch when an RPS is installed to prevent cable damage.

DPS-500A Redundant Power Supply
This RPS (DPS-500A) can be connected to the Switch’s RPS port using a 14-pin DC power cable. A standard, three-pronged AC power cable connects the RPS to the main power source.

Management Options

This switch provides multiple access platforms that can be used to configure, manage, and monitor networking features available on this switch. Currently, there are three management platforms available which are described below.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
This switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the console port or the MGMT port on the front panel of the Switch. Alternatively, the Switch can also be managed, in-band, by using a Telnet connection to any of the LAN ports on the Switch. The command-line interface provides complete access to all switch management features.
SNMP-based Management
The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch supports SNMP v1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.
Web User Interface (Web UI)
The Web UI can be accessed from any computer running web browsing software from its MGMT port, or LAN port when it is connected to any of the RJ-45 or SFP/SFP+ ports. The Web UI on the Switch can also be accessed using an HTTPS (SSL) connection. This management interface is a more graphical representation of the features that can be viewed and configured on this Switch. Most of the features available through the CLI can be accessed through the Web UI. Web browsers like Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome can be used.

Connecting to the Console Port

The front panel of the Switch provides an RJ-45 console port to connect a remote system for monitoring and configuring the Switch. To use the RJ-45 console port, the following equipment is needed:

•  A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port and terminal emulation software
•  A console cable with a male DB9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connection on the other

To connect the RJ-45 console port on the Switch to the computer:

• Connect the male DB9 connector on the console cable (shipped with the Switch) to the RS-232 serial port on the computer running terminal emulation software then insert the RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 console port on the front of the Switch.

To configure the terminal emulation software as follows:

•  Select the appropriate serial port (COM1 or COM2).
•  Set the data rate to 115200 baud.
•  Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
•  Set flow control to none.

COM Port Configuration

To be able to view the boot procedure, the Switch needs to be rebooted. The simplest way, at this stage, to reboot the Switch is to unplug and re-insert the power cable from and into the power receptacle on the back of the Switch. After correctly configuring the terminal settings and re-inserting the power cable, the boot procedure will appear in the terminal.

After the boot sequence has been completed, the console login screen will be displayed.

Connecting to the Switch for the First Time
By default, there is no Username and Password configured in the account settings of this switch. This will allow the user to simply connect to this Switch for the first time by pressing the ‘Enter’ key. After pressing Enter, access will be given to enter commands after the command prompt (Switch>) appears.

NOTE: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges. At least one Administrator-level user account must be created for the Switch.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to create a user account containing a username and a password on the Switch to prevent unauthorized access to the management interface.

Connecting to the MGMT Port
The front panel of the Switch features an Out-Of-Band (OOB) RJ-45 MGMT port which can be used to connect to a computer using a standard Ethernet cable. A web browser or Telnet client can be used to connect to the Switch using the MGMT port. To use the MGMT port, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a computer and the other end to the Switch. The default IP address of the MGMT port is 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Make sure that the computer being used for the switch management has a non-conflicting IP address in the 192.168.0.0/24 network.

To view the IP settings of the MGMT port, use the following command:

The IP settings or enabled status of the MGMT port can be changed through the console port. For example, to change the IP address of the MGMT port, use the following commands:

Logging into the Web UI

Supported Web browsers:

•  Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or above
•  Firefox
