Device Hardware Interfaces

The following sections describe the ports and buttons found on the smart switch.
RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 ports are AutoSensing ports. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode
(half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only an unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This
technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or
crossover cables. When you insert a cable into the switchs RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically does the following:
Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection (such
as when you are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as
when you are connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without
requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for
setting uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or
straight-through cables when you are attaching devices.
13
Reset Button
The smart switch has a Reset button on the front panel to allow you to manually reboot the
switch. This action is equivalent to powering the unit off and back on. The last saved
configuration is loaded into the switch as it resets. To operate the Reset button, insert a
device such as a paper clip into the opening to press the recessed button. The front panel
LEDs turn off and light again as the switch performs its power-on self-test (POST).
Factory Defaults Button

The smart switch has a Factory Defaults button on the front panel so that you can remove the
current configuration and return the device to its factory settings. When you press the Factory
Defaults button, all settings including the password, VLAN settings, and port configurations
are removed. To operate the Factory Defaults button, insert a device such as a paper clip
into the opening to press the recessed button for over two seconds.

20
Connect Devices to the Switch

The following procedure describes how to connect computers to the switchs RJ-45 ports.
The switch contains Auto Uplink technology, which allows the attaching of devices using
either straight-through or crossover cables.
Figure 5. Connecting devices to the switch
Connect each computer to an RJ-45 network port on the switch front panel. Use a Category 5
(Cat 5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make
these connections.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and
the attached device to 100 meters (328 feet).
To connect devices to the switch:

1. Connect a Cat 5 cable to the device.
2. Connect the other end of the Cat 5 cable from the device into an RJ-45 network port located
on the switch front panel.
Apply AC Power
The smart switch does not have an On/Off switch. Power is controlled by the power cord
connection.
Installation
21
Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch,
which can turn off power to the switch. After selecting an appropriate outlet, use the following
procedure to apply AC power.
To apply AC power:
1. Connect the end of the power connection cable to the power receptacle on the back of
the switch.
2. Connect the AC power connection cable into a power source such as a wall socket or
power strip.
When you apply power, the Power LED on the switchs front panel lights.
If the Power LED does not light, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that
the power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, see to Appendix A,
Troubleshooting.
Apply DC Power Through PD Ports 15 or 16

The smart switch can also be powered by PD port 15 or 16; these ports receive DC power
from a connected PSE device.
These are the possible boot options from the PD ports:
Two 802.3af PD sources (15.4W each)
One or two 802.3at PD sources (30W each)
One AF and one AT power source (15.4W, 30W, respectively)
Note: A single 802.3af PD source does not supply enough power to boot
the switch.
Manage the Switch Using a Web Browser or the Smart

Control Center Utility
The smart switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works.
This management software is not required for the switch to work. You can use the switch
without using the management software. However, the management software enables the
setup of VLAN and trunking features and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which
results in the improvement of its overall performance as well as the performance of the
network.
After powering up the switch for the first time, the smart switch can be configured using a web
browser or a program called Smart Control Center. For more information about managing the
switch, see the software administration manual on the smart switch resource CD.
