2.2.7 Equipment Rack Guidelines

∙Size: 17.25 x 10.0 x 1.7 inches 423 x 245 x 43 mm

∙Ventilation: Ensure that the rack is installed in a room where the temperature remains below 40° C (104° F). Be sure that there are no obstructions, such as other equipment or cables, blocking airflow to or from the IntraCore 65120 vents.

∙Clearance: In addition to providing clearance for ventilation, ensure that there is adequate clearance for servicing the IntraCore 65120 from the front.

2.3Setup

The following sections describe the various methods for setting up and managing the switch.

2.3.1 Connecting to a Console or Workstation

When attaching a workstation to the device, a standard straight-through CAT5 cable may be used, even when the workstation is attached via a patch panel. However, when attaching to another switch or attaching workstations via hubs, a crossover cable will need to be used. It is recommended that the switch be kept off the network until proper IP settings have been set.

To connect the switch to a console or computer, setup the system in the following manner:

1.Plug power cord into the back of unit.

2.Attach a straight through serial cable between the RS232 port and a COM port on the PC.

3.Setup a Hyperterminal (or equivalent terminal program) in the following manner:

∙Choose the appropriate COM port (COM1, COM2, etc)

∙Set the data rate to 9600 Baud

∙Set data format 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity

∙Set flow control to NONE

∙In setting under Properties, choose VT100 for Emulation mode

∙Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow and Ctrl keys. Be sure the setting is for Terminal keys, NOT Windows keys

Now that terminal is setup correctly, power on the switch (boot sequence will display in terminal).

2.3.2 Connecting Via the Web Browser Interface

To connect to the switch via your web browser, you must first have configured your computer’s IP address to be on the same IP address subnet as the switch (192.168.0.x). For more information on how to configure your TCP/IP settings, please refer to your computer manufacturer’s user’s manual.

You may now launch your web browser and enter the switch’s default IP address into the address field. The Introduction page will appear, and you may proceed through the pages to configure each variable. Password Protection is disabled by default. If this feature is enabled (via console or telnet) without having set your own password, the default password is Asante. Asante is case sensitive and must appear exactly as it is shown here. See Chapter 3 Web-Based Management for more information on configuring the switch via your web browser.

2.3.3 Connecting Via Telnet

To connect to the switch via a telnet session, you must first have configured your computer’s IP address to be on the same IP address subnet as the switch (192.168.0.X). For more information on how to configure your TCP/IP settings, please refer to your computer manufacturer’s user’s manual.

You may now run a telnet session to configure and manage your switch. The Main Menu will appear (unless you have enabled the Password Protection feature), allowing you to select the variables that you wish to configure. See Chapter 4 Console Interface for more information on configuring the switch via telnet.

65120 specifications

Asante Technologies 65120 is a high-performance network switch specifically designed to meet the needs of modern business environments. It stands out for its advanced features that ensure efficient data management and robust network performance. One of the key characteristics of the 65120 is its ability to support Gigabit Ethernet, which allows for rapid data transfer rates, crucial for businesses that rely on high-speed internet for their operations.

Equipped with 24 ports, the 65120 provides ample connectivity options, allowing businesses to connect multiple devices, including computers, printers, and servers. This extensive port availability ensures that companies can expand their network effortlessly as they grow, without having to invest in additional switches. The switch also features a compact design, making it easy to install in various environments, whether in a server room or an office space.

The 65120 employs advanced technologies that enhance its operational efficiency. One notable feature is its support for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) capabilities. VLANs allow network administrators to segment the network into smaller, manageable pieces, improving performance and security by isolating sensitive data traffic from regular network communication. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that handle sensitive customer information or require separate environments for different departments.

Additionally, the switch supports quality of service (QoS) features, which prioritize network traffic to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth necessary for smooth operation. This capability is essential for businesses that utilize voice-over IP (VoIP) or video conferencing technologies, where latency can significantly affect communication quality.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another significant advantage of the Asante Technologies 65120. This feature allows devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones to receive power through the network cable, eliminating the need for additional power sources and simplifying installation processes.

Overall, the Asante Technologies 65120 is a versatile and robust network switch designed for the evolving demands of modern businesses. Its combination of extensive port availability, advanced networking technologies such as VLAN support and QoS, and the convenience of PoE makes it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to enhance their network infrastructure while ensuring scalability and improved performance. This switch not only simplifies network management but also empowers businesses to stay competitive in an increasingly digital landscape.
