[. . . ] Avoid 9 SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 direct sunlight, heat source, and high amount of electromagnetic interference around. Mounting tools: If you intend to mount the Switch on a rack, make sure you have all the tools, mounting brackets, screws etc. Caution: Cabling must be away from sources of electrical noise such as radio, computers, transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines and keep away from TVs, hair dryers, and microwave. Airflow around the Switch and through its vents on the rear cannot be restricted. 3. 2 Mounting the Switch The SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 Switch is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be rack-mounted in standard EIA 19-inch racks or standalone. Desktop Mounting 1. Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby, and about the center of all networked devices. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease dust free. Attaching Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch 10 SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 4. Caution: Do not place objects on top of the Switch. Rack-mounted Installation The SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 Switch come with a rack-mounted kit and can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch Rack. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the Switch and secure it with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the Switch. Figure 3-2. After attached both mounting brackets, position the SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 Switch ( UTP/MT-RJ/VF-45 ) in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the Switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws. 11 SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 Figure 3-3. Mount the 24TP+1Fiber Module Switch in an EIA Standard 19-inch Rack Note: For proper ventilation, allow about at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on the front and 3. 4 inches ( 8 cm ) on the back of the Switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installation. 3. 3 Connecting to the Switch The Console port is a female DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuring the SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 Switch. Use the supplied RS-232 cable with a male DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or PC to the Console port. The Console configuration (out of band) allow you to set your Switch to enable a user at a remote console terminal to communicate with the SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 Switch as if the console terminal were directly connected to it. 12 SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 Figure 3-4. Connecting the SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 Switch to a terminal via RS-232 cable 3. 4 Login in the Console Interface When the connection between Switch and PC is finished, turn on the PC and run a terminal emulation program or Hyper Terminal and configure its communication parameters to match the following default characteristics of the console port: Baud Rate: 19200 bps Data Bits: 8 Parity: none Stop Bit: 1 Control flow: None 13 SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 Figure 3-5. The settings of communication parameters After you have finished parameter settings, click "OK". When the screen shows above, press "admin" Key for the Password, then the Main Menu of console management appears. Main Menu Figure 3-6. The screen of Main Menu After login, you will see the main menu screen as illustrated in the picture. The main menu displays all the sub-menu and pages that are available in the console interface. 14 SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 A. Device Configuration Figure 3-7.

Figure 3-8. [. . . ] VLAN Application Port-based VLAN Workgroup You can group the Switch ports into broadcast domains by assigning them to the same VLAN to increase network capacity and performance. With network segmentation, each Switch port connects to a segment that is a single broadcast domain. VLAN allows the grouping of end stations logically, based not on physical location but on business policies such as job function or department. Members of a group can be dispersed throughout a facility - they do not have to be connected in close physical locations. 24 SMC-EZ1026DT V. 2 Hence, group members can coordinate their data communication requirements regardless of the actual working locations; and the logical network can extend to any point you want it to.
