Chapter 3 Installation

For a 1000 Mbps device:

•SLM2048 and SLM2024: Connect a Category 5e Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the Switch.

•SLM248G, SLM248P, SLM224G, SLM224P: Connect a Category 5e Ethernet network cable to port G1 or port G2 on the Switch.

For a 10/100 Mbps PoE device:

•SLM248P: Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable to one of ports 1-12 or ports 25-36 on the Switch.

•SLM224P: Connect a Category 5 Ethernet 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.

SLM248P and SLM224P: If a 802.3af-compliant PoE device is connected to one of the Switch’s PoE ports, the Switch automatically supplies the required power.

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 one of the Gigabit ports, and 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.

Ethernet Ports Shared with miniGBIC Ports

	Port Shared	Port Shared
Switch	with	with
	miniGBIC1	miniGBIC2
SLM2048	24	48
SLM2024	12	24
SLM248G, SLM248P,	G1	G2
SLM224G, SLM224P

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 4: Configuration Using the Web-based Utility”, for directions on how to set up the Switch.
