Installation

For a 1000 Mbps device:

•Connect a Category 5e Ethernet network cable to port G1, G2, G3, or G4 on the Switch.

For a 10/100 Mbps PoE device:

•SLM248G4PS: Connect a Category 5e Ethernet network cable to one of ports 1-12 or ports 25-36 on the Switch.

•SLM224G4PS: Connect a Category 5e Ethernet network cable to one of ports 1-6 or ports 13-18 on the Switch.

3.Connect the other end of the network cable to a PC or other network device.

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices.

If a 802.3af-compliant PoE device is connected to one of the Switch’s PoE ports, the Switch will automatically supply the required power to the device.

5.If you are using a miniGBIC port, then connect a miniGBIC module to a miniGBIC port. For more detailed instructions, refer to “Uplinking the Switch“.

6.Connect the supplied power cord to the Switch’s power port, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet. When connecting power, always use a surge protector.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you use the power cord that is supplied with the Switch. Use of a different power cord could damage the Switch.

7.Power on the devices connected to the Switch. Each active port’s corresponding LED will light up on the Switch.

Uplinking the Switch

To uplink the Switch using a 1000 Mbps Ethernet port, connect one end of a Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet network cable to a Gigabit port, then connect the other end of the cable into the peripheral device’s uplink port. MDI/MDIX will automatically detect the speed and cable type.

To uplink the Switch using the miniGBIC port, connect a miniGBIC module to a miniGBIC port whose shared Ethernet port is not being used (a miniGBIC port and its shared Ethernet port cannot be used at the same time). The following table shows which Ethernet ports are shared with the miniGBIC ports.

To establish a Gigabit Ethernet connection using a miniGBIC port, you will need to install a MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 Gigabit expansion module and use Category 5e cabling or fiber optic cabling.

To establish a Fast Ethernet connection using a miniGBIC port, you will need to install a MFEFX1 (100BASE-FX) or MFELX1 (100BASE-LX) 100SFP Transceiver and use fiber optic cabling.

The hardware installation is complete. Proceed to “Chapter 5: Configuration Using the Web-based Utility”, for directions on how to set up the Switch.

Configuring Stack Mode

The SLM224G4PS and SLM248G4PS Switches can operate in either standalone mode or stack mode. In standalone mode, the switch operates independently of other switches. In stack mode, multiple Stackable Switches are connected together to effectively form a single switch. The default operating mode is stack mode.

A Switch stack can contain any combination of SLM224G4PS and SLM248G4PS units, with the following limits:

•SLM224G4PS only: Maximum of 6 units

•SLM248G4PS only: Maximum of 4 units

•SLM224G4PS and SLM248G4PS: Maximum of 192 10/100 ports (total among all switches)

Each switch in a stack is assigned a unique unit number. These numbers indicate the switch’s status in the stack:

•Unit 1:The switch is the Master unit.The master handles the management functions for the entire stack.

•Unit 2:The switch is the Backup Master unit.The backup master automatically becomes the new master if the master fails.

•Unit 3, 4, 5, 6: The switch is a Slave unit. (Depending on the switch models used, 5 and 6 may not be valid.)

The Switches are connected together using a pair of Gigabit ports on each Switch: G1 and G2, G3 and G4, or miniGBIC1 and miniGBIC2. Linksys recommends using Gigabit ports G1 and G2 (the default stacking ports). Connections are made using Category 5e Ethernet network cables.

To set up a stack with six switches, follow these steps:
