Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
To create reliability in your network, the EKI-7656C comes equipped with a proprietary
redundant network protocol—X-Ring that was developed by Advantech, which
provides users with an easy way to establish a redundant Ethernet network with ultra
high-speed recovery time less than 10 ms.
Aside from 16 x 10/100Base-TX fast Ethernet ports, the EKI-7656C comes equipped
with 2 combo 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 copper ports or mini-GBIC expansion ports.
Traditional RJ-45 ports can be used for uplinking wide-band paths in short distance (<
100 m), or the appropriate replaceable SFP module can be used for the application of
wideband uploading and long distance transmissions to fit the field request flexibility.
Also, the long MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) ensures that the EKI-7656C will
continue to operate until a Gigabit network infrastructure has been established, without
requiring any extra upgrade costs.
1.1.1 The SFP Advantage

The EKI-7656C’s two SFP fiber slots provide a lot of flexibility when planning and
implementing a network. The slots can accept any SFP-type fiber module and these
modules are designed for transmitting over distances of either 500m (multi-mode),
10km, 30km, 50km, 70km or 110km (single-mode)—and the slots support SFP
modules for WDM single-fiber transmissions. This means that you can easily change
the transmission mode and distance of the switch by simply pulling out the SFP
module and plugging in a different module. The SFP modules are hot-swappable and
plug-and-play! Also, the fact that the switch has two of these slots, means that the
network manager can, for example, have one 10km module in one slot and one 110km
in the other.
1.1.2 High-Speed Transmissions

The EKI-7656C includes a switch controller that can automatically sense transmission
speeds (10/100 Mbps). The RJ-45 interface can also be auto-detected, so MDI or MDI-
X is automatically selected and a crossover cable is not required. All Ethernet ports
have memory buffers that support the store-and-forward mechanism. This assures that
data is properly transmitted.
1.1.3 Dual Power Input

To reduce the risk of power failure, the EKI-7656C provides +12 ~ 48 VDC dual power
inputs. If there is power failure, EKI-7656C will automatically switch to the secondary
power input.
1.1.4 Flexible Mounting

EKI-7656C is compact and can be mounted on a DIN-rail or panel, so it is suitable for
any space-constrained environment.
EKI-7656C User Manual.doc 2

1.1.5 Advanced Protection
The power line of EKI-7656C supports up to 3,000 VDC EFT protection, which secures
equipment against unregulated voltage and make systems safer and more reliable.
Meanwhile, 4,000 VDC ESD protections for Ethernet ports make EKI-7656C more
suitable for harsh environments.
1.1.6 Wide Operating Temperature

The operating temperature of the EKI-7656C is between -10 ~ 60 ℃. With such a wide
range, you can use the EKI-7656C in some of the harshest industrial environments that
exist.
1.1.7 Easy Troubleshooting

LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. Each 10/100 Base-TX port has 2
LEDs that display the link status, transmission speed and collision status. Also the
power/system indicators help you diagnose power and ring master status immediately.

2.3 Mounting
The EKI-7656C supports two mounting methods: DIN-rail & Wall.
2.3.1 Wall mounting

EKI-7656C can be wall-mounted by using the included mounting kit. Then, hang on the
EKI-7656C to the nails on the wall.
First, use the screws included in the package to combine the EKI-7656C and metal
mounting kit. And then you can install the device firmly via the components, please see
Figure 2.5 as below.
Figure 2.5: Combine the Metal Mounting Kit (units: mm)
15 Chapter2
2.3.2 DIN-rail Mounting
You can also mount EKI-7656C on a standard DIN-rail by steps below.
The DIN-rail kit is screwed on the industrial switch when out of factory. If the DIN-rail kit
is not screwed on the industrial switch, please screw the DIN-rail kit on the switch first.
First, hang the EKI-7656C to the DIN-rail with angle of inclination. See Figure 2.6.
Figure 2.6: Installation to DIN-rail Step 1

Then, let the device down straight to slide over the rail smoothly. See Figure 2.7.
Figure 2.7: Installation to DIN-rail Step 2
17 Chapter2
2.4 Network Connection
The EKI-7656C has 16 x RJ-45 ports that support connection to 10 Mbps Ethernet, or
100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and half or full duplex operation. EKI-7656C can be
connected to other hubs or switches via a twisted-pair straight-through or crossover
cable up to 100m long. The connection can be made from any TX port of the EKI-
7656C (MDI-X) to another hub or switch either MDI-X or uplink MDI port.
The EKI-7656C supports auto-crossover to make networking more easy and flexible.
You can connect any RJ-45 (MDI-X) station port on the switch to any device such as a
switch, bridge or router.
2.5 Connection to a Fiber Optic Network

EKI-7656C has two SFP slots for connecting to the network segment with single or
multi-mode fiber. You can choose appropriate mini-GBIC module to plug into the slot.
Make sure the module is aligned correctly and then slide the module into the SFP slot
until a click is heard. You can use proper multi-mode or single-mode fiber according to
the used SFP module. With fiber optic, it transmits speed up to 1000 Mbps that you
can prevent noise interference from the system and transmission distance up to 110
km, depending on the mini-GBIC module.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical
communications for both telecommunication and data communications applications.
Note The SFP/Copper Combo port can be used at one time either. The SFP port has the
higher priority than copper port; if you insert the 1000M SFP transceiver into the SFP port
which is connected to the remote device, the connection of the accompanying copper
port will link down.
If you insert the 100M SFP transceiver into the SFP port even without a fiber connection
to the remote, the connection of the accompanying copper port will link down
immediately.
To connect the transceiver and LC cable, please follow the steps shown below:
First, insert the transceiver into the SFP module. Notice that the triangle mark is the
bottom of the module.
Figure 2.8: Transceiver to the SFP module

Figure 2.9: Transceiver Inserted
Second, insert the fiber cable of LC connector into the transceiver.
Figure 2.10: LC connector to the transceiver
19 Chapter2
To remove the LC connector from the transceiver, please follow the steps shown below:
First, press the upper side of the LC connector to release from the transceiver and pull it out.
Figure 2.11: Remove LC connector
Second, push down the metal loop and pull the transceiver out by the plastic handle.
Figure 2.12: Pull out from the transceiver

2.6 Power Connection
The EKI-7656C supports dual +12 ~ 48 VDC power inputs and power-fail relay output.
Figure 2.13: Pin Assignment of the Power Connector
You can connect an alarm indicator, buzzer or other signaling equipment through the
relay output. The relay opens if power input 1, 2 fails or port link down/break (‘Open’
means if you connect relay output with an LED, the light would be off).

3.2 Web Browser
EKI-7656C provides a convenient configuring way via web browser. You can follow the steps below to
access EKI-7656C.
EKI-7656C’s default IP is 192.168.1.1. make sure your host PC and EKI-7656 are on the same logical
sub-network.
Warning Your host PC should be in the same VLAN setting with EKI-7656C, or the
management will not be configured.
Connect EKI-7656C to the Ethernet then your host PC could be configured via Ethernet. Or you can
directly connect EKI-7656C to your host PC with a straight-through or cross over Ethernet cable.
Before to use web management, install the industrial switch on the network and make sure that any one
of PCs on the network can connect with the industrial switch through the web browser. The industrial
switch default value of IP, subnet mask, username and password are as below:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.1
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254
• User Name: admin
• Password: admin
Open Internet Explorer and type EKI-7656C’s IP in the Address field then press Enter to open the web
login page.

IP Configuration
User can configure the IP Settings and DHCP client function in here.
• DHCP Client: Enable or disable the DHCP client function. When DHCP client function is enabled, the
industrial switch will be assigned an IP address from the network DHCP server. The default IP address
will be replaced by the assigned IP address on DHCP server. After user click Apply button, a popup
dialog shows up. It is to inform the user that when the DHCP client is enabled, the current IP will lose
and user should find the new IP on the DHCP server.
• IP Address: Assign the IP address that the network is using. If DHCP client function is enabled, and
then the user doesn’t need to assign the IP address. And, the network DHCP server will assign the IP
address displaying in this column for the industrial switch. The default IP is 192.168.16.1.
• Subnet Mask: Assign the subnet mask to the IP address. If DHCP client function is enabled, and then
the user does not need to assign the subnet mask.
• Gateway: Assign the network gateway for the industrial switch. The default gateway is 192.168.16.254.
• DNS1: The abbreviation of Domain Name Server—an Internet service that translate domain name into
IP addresses. Domain name are alphabetic which are easy to be remembered. Because the Internet is
based on IP address; every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the
name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.net.com might
translate to 192.168.1.1
• DNS2: The backup for DNS1. When DNS1 cannot function, DNS2 will then replace DNS1 immediately.
• And then, click Apply

Figure 3.9: IP Configuration
DHCP Server – System configuration
DHCP is the abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol that is a protocol for assigning
dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different
IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even
change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses
rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means that a new computer can be
added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address.
The system provides the DHCP server function. The system provides the DHCP server function. Having
enabled the DHCP server function, the switch system can be a DHCP server.
• DHCP Server: Enable or Disable the DHCP Server function. Enable—the switch will be the DHCP
server on your local network.
• Low IP Address: Type in an IP address. Low IP address is the beginning of the dynamic IP range. For
example, dynamic IP is in the range between 192.168.1.100 ~ 192.168.1.200. In contrast,
192.168.1.100 is the Low IP address.
• High IP Address: Type in an IP address. High IP address is the end of the dynamic IP range. For
example, dynamic IP is in the range between 192.168.1.100 ~ 192.168.1.200. In contrast,
192.168.1.200 is the High IP address.
• Subnet Mask: Type in the subnet mask of the IP configuration.
• Gateway: Type in the IP address of the gateway in your network.
• DNS: Type in the Domain Name Server IP Address in your network.
• Lease Time (sec): It is the time period that system will reset the dynamic IP assignment to ensure the
dynamic IP will not been occupied for a long time or the server doesn’t know that the dynamic IP is idle.
• And then, click Apply button.

3.2.2 Port
Port setting includes Port Statistics, Port Control, Port Trunk, Port Mirroring, and Rate Limiting. The user
can use this interface to set the parameters and control the packet flow among the ports.
Port Statistics
The following information provides the current port statistic information.
• Port: Displays the port number.

• Type: Displays the media type of the port.
• Link: The status of linking—‘Up’ or ‘Down’.
• State: The user can set the state of the port as ‘Enable’ or ‘Disable’ via Port Control. When the state is
disabled, the port will not transmit or receive any packet.
• Tx Good Packet: The counts of transmitting good packets via this port.
• Tx Bad Packet: The counts of transmitting bad packets (including undersize [less than 64 bytes],
oversize, CRC Align errors, fragments and jabbers packets) via this port.
• Rx Good Packet: The counts of receiving good packets via this port.
• Rx Bad Packet: The counts of receiving good packets (including undersize [less than 64 bytes],
oversize, CRC error, fragments and jabbers) via this port.
• Tx Abort Packet: The aborted packet while transmitting.
• Packet Collision: The counts of collision packet.
• Packet Dropped: The counts of dropped packet.
• Rx Bcast Packet: The counts of broadcast packet.
• Rx Mcast Packet: The counts of multicast packet.
• Click Clear button to clean all counts.
Figure 3.23: Port Statistics
Port Control
In Port Control, you can pull down the selection items to set the parameters of each port to control the
transmitting/receiving packets.

• Port: Select the port that you want to configure.
• State: Current port status. The port can be set to disable or enable mode. If the port state is set as
‘Disable’, it will not receive or transmit any packet.
• Negotiation: Auto and Force. Being set as Auto, the speed and duplex mode are negotiated
automatically. When you set it as Force, you have to assign the speed and duplex mode manually.
• Speed: It is available for selecting when the Negotiation column is set as Force. When the Negotiation
column is set as Auto, this column is read only.
• Duplex: It is available for selecting when the Negotiation column is set as Force. When the Negotiation
column is set as Auto, this column is read only.
• Flow Control: Set flow control function as Enable or Disable. When enabled, once the device exceed
the input data rate of another device as a result the receiving device will send a PAUSE frame which
halts the transmission of the sender for a specified period of time. When disabled, the receiving device
will drop the packet if too much to process.
• Security: Once the Security selection is set as ‘On’, any access from the device which connects to this
port will be blocked unless the MAC address of the device is included in the static MAC address table.
See the segment of Static MAC Table.
• Click Apply button to make the configuration effective.
Figure 3.24: Port Control
Port Trunk
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging
information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach
agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that
Link Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner. Link
55 Chapter3
aggregation lets you group up to 4 ports into one dedicated connections. This feature can expand
bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode, more detail
information refers to IEEE 802.3ad.
Aggregator setting
• System Priority: A value which is used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the lowest value
has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP.
• Group ID: There are four trunk groups to be selected. Choose the ‘Group ID’ and click Select button.
• LACP: When enabled, the trunk group is using LACP. A port which joins an LACP trunk group has to
make an agreement with its member ports first. When disabled, the trunk group is a static trunk group.
The advantage of having the LACP disabled is that a port joins the trunk group without any
handshaking with its member ports. But member ports won’t know that they should be aggregated
together to form a logic trunk group.
• Work ports: This column field allows the user to type in the total number of active port up to four. With
LACP static trunk group, e.g. you assign four ports to be the members of a trunk group whose work
ports column field is set as two; the exceed ports are standby (the LACP State Activity will show
‘Passive’ on the tab of State Activity) and can be aggregated if work ports fail. If it is a static trunk
group, the number of work ports must equal the total number of group member ports.
• Select the ports to join the trunk group. The system allows four ports maximum to be aggregated in a
trunk group. Click Add button to add the port which is focused to the left field. To remove unwanted
ports, select the port and click Remov button.
• When LACP enabled, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status for each port on State Activity
page.
• Use Apply button to delete Trunk Group. Select the Group ID and click Delete button.

Aggregator Information

When you have set up the aggregator setting with LACP disabled, you will see the local static trunk group
information as below.
Figure 3.26: 2 work ports with LACP disabled
Figure 3.27: Static trunking group of 2 ports
When you have set up the aggregator setting of two interconnected switches with LACP enabled, you will
see the respective LACP trunk group information as below.
57 Chapter3
Figure 3.28: Aggregator Information with LACP enabled
State Activity
Having set up the LACP aggregator on the tab of Aggregator Setting, you can configure the state activity
for the members of the LACP trunk group. You can tick or cancel the checkbox beside the state display.
When you remove the tick mark to the port and click Apply button, the port state activity will change to
Passive.
• Active: The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.

• Passive: The port does not automatically send LACP protocol packets, and responds only if it receives
LACP protocol packets from the opposite device.
Note A link having either two active LACP nodes or one active node can perform
dynamic LACP trunk.
A link having two passive LACP nodes will not perform dynamic LACP trunk
because both ports are waiting for an LACP protocol packet from the opposite
device.
Figure 3.29: State Activity with LACP enabled

Port Mirroring
The Port mirroring is a method for monitoring traffic in switched networks. Traffic through ports can be
monitored by one specific port which means traffic goes in or out monitored (source) ports will be
duplicated into mirroring (destination) port.
• Destination Port: There is only one port can be selected to be the destination (mirroring) port for
monitoring both RX and TX traffic which come from the source port. Or, use one of two ports for
monitoring RX traffic only and the other one for TX traffic only. The user can connect the mirroring port
to LAN analyzer or Netxray.
• Source Port: The ports that the user wants to monitor. All monitored port traffic will be copied to
mirroring (destination) port. The user can select multiple source ports by ticking the RX or TX
checkboxes to be monitored.
Figure 3.30: Port Mirroring
Rate Limiting
Here you can set up every port’s frame limitation type and bandwidth rate.
• Ingress Limit Frame type: Select the frame type you want to filter. The frame types have 4 options for
selecting: All, Broadcast/Multicast/Flooded Unicast, Broadcast/Multicast, and Broadcast only.
The four frame type options are for ingress frames limitation. The egress rate only supports ‘All’ type.
59 Chapter3
All ports support port ingress and egress rate control. For example, assume port 1 is 10Mbps; the user
can set the effective egress rate of port 1 as 1Mbps, ingress rate 500Kbps. The switch performs the
ingress rate by packet counter to meet the specified rate
• Ingress: Enter the port effective ingress rate (The default value is “0”)
• Egress: Enter the port effective egress rate (The default value is “0”)
• And then, click Apply to make the settings taken effect.
Figure 3.31: Rate Limiting

3.2.3 Protocol
The user can set the layer 2 protocol setting via this interface.
VLAN configuration
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow
you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of
the same VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group
of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the
same switch physically.
The switch supports Port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The default configuration of VLAN
operation mode is “Disable”.
Figure 3.32: VLAN Configuration
VLAN configuration - Port-based VLAN
Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports are treated as
belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled, the VLAN-tagging is ignored.
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLAN groups, it itself has to be either capable of
tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware bridge that is capable of
classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also other
information about the packet, such as the protocol.

configuration will lose when switch power off.
802.1Q VLAN
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, it is possible to create a VLAN
across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into
the Ethernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.
You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol. There are 256 VLAN groups to
provide configuration. Enable 802.1Q VLAN, all ports on the switch belong to default VLAN of VID 1. The
default VLAN can’t be deleted.
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a protocol that facilitates control of virtual local area
networks (VLANs) within a larger network. GVRP conforms to the IEEE 802.1Q specification, which
defines a method of tagging frames with VLAN configuration data. This allows network devices to
dynamically exchange VLAN configuration information with other devices.
GVRP is based on GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol), a protocol that defines procedures by
which end stations and switches in a local area network (LAN) can register and de-register attributes,
such as identifiers or addresses, with each other.
Every end station and switch thus has a current record of all the other end stations and switches that can
be reached. GVRP, like GARP, eliminates unnecessary network traffic by preventing attempts to transmit

information to unregistered users. In addition, it is necessary to manually configure only one switch and
all the other switches will be configured accordingly.
802.1Q Configuration
• Pull down the selection item and focus on 802.1Q then press Apply button to set the VLAN
Operation Mode in 802.1Q mode.
• Enable GVRP Protocol: Tick the checkbox to enable GVRP protocol. This checkbox is available while
the VLAN Operation Mode is in 802.1Q mode.
• Select the port you want to configure.
• Link Type: there are 3 types of link type.
¾ Access Link: Single switch only, it allows the user to group ports by assigning the same
Untagged VID. While this link type is set, the Untagged VID column field is available but the
Tagged VID column field is disabled.
¾ Trunk Link: The extended application of Access Link. It allows the user to group ports by
assigning the same Tagged VID across 2 or more switches. Having set this link type, the
Tagged VID column field is available but the Untagged VID column field is disabled.
¾ Hybrid Link: Both Access Link and Trunk Link are available.
• Untagged VID: Assign the untagged frame VID.
• Tagged VID: Assign the tagged frame VID.
• Click Apply button to have the settings taken effect.

Rapid Spanning Tree
The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol and provides for
faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change. The system also supports STP and the
system will auto-detect the connected device that is running STP or RSTP protocol.
RSTP - System Configuration
• The user can view spanning tree information of the Root Bridge.
• The user can modify RSTP state. After modification, click Apply button.
¾ RSTP mode: The user must enable the RSTP function first before configuring the related
parameters.
¾ Priority (0-61440): The switch with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as
the root. If the value is changed, the user must reboot the switch. The value must be a multiple
of 4096 according to the protocol standard rule.
¾ Max Age (6-40): The number of seconds a switch waits without receiving Spanning-tree
Protocol configuration messages before attempting a reconfiguration. Enter a value between 6
through 40.
¾ Hello Time (1-10): The time that controls the switch to send out the BPDU packet to check
RSTP current status. Enter a value between 1 through 10.
¾ Forward Delay Time (4-30): The number of seconds a port waits before changing from its
Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol learning and listening states to the forwarding state. Enter a
value between 4 through 30.
Note Follow the rule to configure the MAX Age, Hello Time, and Forward Delay
Time.
2 x (Forward Delay Time value –1) > = Max Age value >= 2 x (Hello Time
value +1)
Figure 3.39: RSTP System Configuration interface
67 Chapter3
RSTP - Port Configuration
Here you can configure the path cost and priority of each port.
• Select the port in the port column field.

• Path Cost: The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at the specified port.
Enter a number 1 through 200,000,000.
• Priority: Decide which port should be blocked by priority in LAN. Enter a number 0 through 240 (the
port of the highest value will be blocked). The value of priority must be the multiple of 16.
• Admin P2P: Some of the rapid state transactions that are possible within RSTP are dependent upon
whether the port concerned can only be connected to exactly one other bridge (i.e. it is served by a
point-to-point LAN segment), or can be connected to two or more bridges (i.e. it is served by a shared
medium LAN segment). This function allows the P2P status of the link to be manipulated
administratively. True is P2P enabling. False is P2P disabling.
• Admin Edge: The port directly connected to end stations won’t create bridging loop in the network. To
configure the port as an edge port, set the port to “True” status.
• Admin Non Stp: The port includes the STP mathematic calculation. True is not including STP
mathematic calculation. False is including the STP mathematic calculation.

QoS Policy and Priority Type
• Qos Policy: Select the QoS policy rule.

¾ Use an 8,4,2,1 weighted fair queuing scheme: The switch will follow 8:4:2:1 rate to process
priority queue from High to lowest queue. For example, while the system processing, 1 frame
of the lowest queue, 2 frames of the low queue, 4 frames of the middle queue, and 8 frames of
the high queue will be processed at the same time in accordance with the 8,4,2,1 policy rule.
¾ Use a strict priority scheme: Always the higher queue will be processed first, except the
higher queue is empty.

• Click Apply .
TOS Configuration
Set up the TOS priority. With the drop-down selection item of Priority Type above being selected as TOS
only/TOS first, this control item will then be available to set the queuing policy for each port.
• TOS priority: The system provides 0~63 TOS priority level. Each level has 4 types of priority—High,
Middle, Low, and Lowest. The default value is ‘Lowest’ priority for each level. When the IP packet is
received, the system will check the TOS level value in the IP packet that has received. For example,
the user sets the TOS level 25 as high, the system will check the TOS value of the received IP packet.
If the TOS value of received IP packet is 25 (priority = high), and then the packet priority will have
highest priority.
• Click Apply button to make the settings taken effect.
IGMP Configuration
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite.
IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP
allows the ports to detect IGMP queries, report packets, and manage IP multicast traffic through the
switch. IGMP have three fundamental types of message shown as follows:
Table 3.19: IGMP types
Message Description
A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) asking for a response from each host
Query
belonging to the multicast group.
A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host wants to be or is a member of a
Report
given group indicated in the report message.
A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host has quit being a member of a
Leave Group
specific multicast group.
The switch supports IP multicast. You can enable IGMP protocol via setting the IGMP Configuration page
to see the IGMP snooping information. IP multicast addresses are in the range of 224.0.0.0 through
239.255.255.255.
• IGMP Protocol: Enable or disable the IGMP protocol.

• IGMP Query: Select the IGMP query function as Enable or Auto to set the switch as a querier for
IGMP version 2 multicast networks.

Figure 3.45: IGMP Configuration interface
X-Ring
X-Ring provides a faster redundant recovery than Spanning Tree topology. The action is similar to STP or
RSTP, but the algorithms between them are not the same.
In the X-Ring topology, every switch should be enabled with X-Ring function and two ports should be
assigned as the member ports in the ring. Only one switch in the X-Ring group would be set as the
master switch that one of its two member ports would be blocked, called backup port, and another port is
called working port. Other switches in the X-Ring group are called working switches and their two
member ports are called working ports. When the failure of network connection occurs, the backup port of
the master switch (Ring Master) will automatically become a working port to recover from the failure.
The switch supports the function and interface for setting the switch as the ring master or not. The ring
master can negotiate and place command to other switches in the X-Ring group. If there are 2 or more
switches in master mode, the software will select the switch with lowest MAC address number as the ring
master. The X-Ring master ring mode can be enabled by setting the X-Ring configuration interface. Also,
the user can identify whether the switch is the ring master by checking the R.M. LED indicator on the
panel of the switch.
The system also supports the Couple Ring that can connect 2 or more X-Ring group for the redundant
backup function; Dual Homing function that can prevent connection lose between X-Ring group and
upper level/core switch. Apart from the advantages, Central Ring can handle up to 4 rings in the system
and has the ability to recover from failure within 20 milliseconds.
• Enable X-Ring: To enable the X-Ring function, tick the checkbox beside the Enable Ring string label.
If this checkbox is not ticked, all the ring functions are unavailable.
¾ Enable Ring Master: Tick the checkbox to enable this switch to be the ring master.
¾ 1st & 2nd Ring Ports: Pull down the selection menu to assign the ports as the member ports.
1st Ring Port is the working port and 2nd Ring Port is the backup port. When 1st Ring Port
fails, the system will automatically upgrade the 2nd Ring Port to be the working port.
• Enable Couple Ring: To enable the coupe ring function, tick the checkbox beside the Enable Couple
Ring string label.
¾ Couple port: Assign the member port which is connected to the other ring group.
¾ Control port: When the Enable Couple Ring checkbox is ticked, you have to assign the
control port to form a couple-ring group between the two X-rings.

• Enable Dual Homing: Set up one of the ports on the switch to be the Dual Homing port. For a switch,
there is only one Dual Homing port. Dual Homing function only works when the X-Ring function
enabled.
• Enable Central Ring x: Tick the checkbox beside the string label of Enable Central Ring x to assign
two ports as the blocking & forwarding ports of the ring.
st
¾ 1 Ring Port: Assign a port which is used to be the forwarding port to the ring.
nd
¾ 2 Ring Port: Assign a port which is used to be the blocking port to the ring.
Figure 3.46: X-ring Interface
Note When the X-Ring function enabled, the user must disable the RSTP. The X-
Ring function and RSTP function cannot exist on a switch at the same time.
Remember to execute the “Save Configuration” action, otherwise the new
configuration will lose when switch powers off.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
Verify that you are using the right power cord/adapter (+12 ~ 48VDC), please don’t use
the power adaptor with DC output voltage higher than 48 V, or it will burn this converter
down.
Select the proper UTP cable to construct the user network. Use unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or
5 cable for 10Mbps connections, 100Ω Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections, or
100Ω Category 5e/above cable for 1000Mbps connections. Also be sure that the
length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Diagnosing LED Indicators

To assist in identifying problems, the switch can be easily monitored through panel
indicators, which describe common problems the user may encounter and where the
user can find possible solutions.
If the power indicator does not light on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with power cord. Then check for loose power connections, power
losses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact the
local dealer for assistance.
If the LED indicators are normal and the connected cables are correct but the packets
still cannot be transmitted. Please check the user system’s Ethernet devices’
configuration or status.

C.2.4 Port Trunk
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for
exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link
Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link
Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation
Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner. Link
aggregation lets you group up to 4 consecutive ports into two dedicated connections.
This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation
requires full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE 802.3ad.
• Trunk No.: There are four trunk groups to provide configuration.

• Type: Pull down the selection menu item to select the type as ‘Static’ or ‘802.3ad
LACP’.
• Member ports: allows max four ports to be aggregated at the same time. With
LACP dynamic trunk group, the exceed ports are standby and can be aggregated if
work ports fail. If it is static trunk group, the number of ports must be the same as the
group member ports.

The Port mirroring is a method for monitor traffic in switched networks. Traffic through
ports can be monitored by one specific port. That means traffic goes in or out
monitored (source) ports will be duplicated into mirror (destination) port.
• Rx Destination Port: There is only one port can be selected to be destination

(mirror) port for monitoring RX traffic which come from source port. User can connect
mirror port to LAN analyzer or Netxray.
• Tx Destination Port: There is only one port can be selected to be destination
(mirror) port for monitoring TX traffic which come from source port. User can connect
mirror port to LAN analyzer or Netxray.
• Mark the check boxes to monitor source receiving or transmitting packets of each
port. And then, click ‘Clear’ button to clear the marks or click ‘Apply’ button to carry
the setting into effect.

types have 4 options for selecting: All, Broadcast/Multicast/Flooded Unicast,
Broadcast/Multicast and Broadcast only. Broadcast/Multicast/Flooded Unicast,
Broadcast/Multicast and Bbroadcast only types are only for ingress frames. The
egress rate only supports All type.
• All the ports support port ingress and egress rate control. For example, assume port
1 is 10Mbps, users can set it’s effective egress rate is 1Mbps, ingress rate is
500Kbps. The switch performs the ingress rate by packet counter to meet the
specified rate.
• Ingress: Enter the port effective ingress rate (The default value is “8192”)
• Egress: Enter the port effective egress rate (The default value is “0”)
• And then, click ‘Apply’ to apply the settings.

C.3 Protocol
C.3.1 VLAN
VLAN configuration
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain,
which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the VLAN will
receive traffic from the same members of VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a
switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another
Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the same switch
physically.
The industrial switch supports port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The
default configuration of VLAN operation mode is “Disable”.
Figure C.39: VLAN Configuration
802.1Q VLAN
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, it is possible

to create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
uses a technique to insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN
Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.
You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol. There are 256
VLAN groups to provide configure. Enable 802.1Q VLAN, the all ports on the switch
belong to default VLAN, VID is 1. The default VLAN can’t be deleting.
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the
switch is connected to a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a GVRP request
using the VID of a VLAN defined on the switch; the switch will automatically add that
device to the existing VLAN.

Figure C.42: VLAN Table
Port-based VLAN
Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected
ports are treated as belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled,
the VLAN-tagging is ignored.
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLAN groups, it itself has to be
either capable of tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware
bridge that is capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID
based on not only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the
protocol.
• Click ‘Add’ button to add a new VLAN group (The maximum VLAN group is up to 64
VLAN groups)
• Entering the VLAN name, group ID and grouping the members of VLAN group

C.3.2 Rapid Spanning Tree
The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree
Protocol and provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change.
The system also supports STP and the system will auto detect the connected device
that is running STP or RSTP protocol.
• User can view spanning tree information about the Root Bridge.
• User can modify RSTP state. After modification, click ‘Apply’ button.
Bridge Configuration
• RSTP mode: user must enable or disable RSTP function before configure the
related parameters
• Priority (0-61440): a value used to identify the root bridge. The bridge with the
lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the root. If the value changes,
user must reboot the switch. The value must be multiple of 4096 according to the
protocol standard rule.
• Max Age (6-40): the number of seconds a bridge waits without receiving Spanning
Tree Protocol configuration messages before attempting a reconfiguration. Enter a
value between 6 through 40.
• Hello Time (1-10): the time that controls switch sends out the BPDU packet to check
RSTP current status. Enter a value between 1 through 10.
• Forward Delay Time (4-30): the number of seconds a port waits before changing
from its Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol learning and listening states to the forwarding
state. Enter a value between 4 through 30.
You can configure path cost and priority of every port.

• Select the port in Port column.
• Path Cost: The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at
the specified port. Enter a number 1 through 200000000.
• Priority: Decide which port should be blocked by priority in LAN. Enter a number 0
through 240. The value of priority must be the multiple of 16.
• P2P: Some of the rapid state transactions that are possible within RSTP are
dependent upon whether the port concerned can only be connected to exactly one
other bridge (i.e. it is served by a point-to-point LAN segment), or can be connected
to two or more bridges (i.e. it is served by a shared medium LAN segment). This
function allows the P2P status of the link to be manipulated administratively. True
is P2P enabling. False is P2P disabling.
• Edge: The port directly connected to end stations cannot create bridging loop in the
network. To configure the port as an edge port, set the port to “True” status.
• Non Stp: The port includes the STP mathematic calculation. True is not including
STP mathematic calculation. False is including the STP mathematic calculation.
• Click ’Apply’.

Figure C.44: RSTP
Note Follow the rule to configure the MAX Age, Hello Time, and Forward Delay
Time.

QoS Policy and Priority Type
• Qos Policy: select the Qos policy rule.

¾ Use an 8,4,2,1 weighted fair queuing scheme: The switch will follow 8:4:2:1
rate to process priority queue from High to Lowest queue. For example, as
the system processes, 1 frame of the lowest queue, 2 frames of the low
queue, 4 frames of the middle queue, and 8 frames of the high queue will
be processed at the same time in accordance with the 8,4,2,1 policy rule.
¾ Use a strict priority scheme: Always higher queue will be processed first,
except higher queue is empty.
• Priority Type: there are 5 priority type selections available. Disable means no
priority type is selected.
• Port-base: the port priority will follow the Port-base that you have assigned – High,
middle, low, or lowest.
¾ COS only: the port priority will only follow the COS priority that you have
assigned.
¾ TOS only: the port priority will only follow the TOS priority that you have
assigned.
¾ COS first: the port priority will follow the COS priority first, and then other
priority rule.
¾ TOS first: the port priority will follow the TOS priority first, and the other
priority rule.
• Click ‘Apply’.

Set up the COS priority level.

• COS priority: Set up the COS priority level 0~7 –High, Middle, Low, Lowest.
127
Figure C.56: COS Settings
TOS Settings
Set up the TOS priority.

• TOS priority: the system provides 0~63 TOS priority level. Each level has 4 types of
priority – high, middle, low, and lowest. The default value is “Lowest” priority for each
level. When the IP packet is received, the system will check the TOS level value in
the IP packet that has received. For example, user set the TOS level 25 is high. The
port 1 is following the TOS priority policy only. When the port 1 packet received, the
system will check the TOS value of the received IP packet. If the TOS value of
received IP packet is 25(priority = high), and then the packet priority will have highest
priority.
Figure C.57: TOS Settings

IGMP Configuration
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a communications protocol used to

manage the membership of Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP
hosts and adjacent multicast routers to establish multicast group memberships. It is an
integral part of the IP multicast specification, like ICMP for unicast connections. IGMP
can be used for online video and gaming, and allows more efficient use of resources
when supporting these uses.
IGMP have three fundamental types of message as follows:
Table C.1: IGMP types
Message Description
A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) asking for a response from each host
Query
belonging to the multicast group.
A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host wants to be or is a member of a
Report
given group indicated in the report message.
A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host has quit being a member of a
Leave Group
specific multicast group.
The switch support IP multicast, you can enable IGMP protocol on web management’s
switch setting advanced page, then displays the IGMP snooping information. IP
multicast addresses range are from 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255.
Figure C.58: IGMP
• IGMP Protocol: Enable or disable the IGMP protocol.

• IGMP Query: Select the IGMP query function as Enable or Auto to set the switch as

Figure C.59: IGMP Snooping Table
X-Ring
X-Ring provides a faster redundant recovery than Spanning Tree topology. The action
is similar to STP or RSTP, but the algorithms not the same.
In the X-Ring topology, every switch should enable X-Ring function and assign two
member ports in the ring. Only one switch in the X-Ring group would be set as a master
switch, one of its path would be blocked, called backup port, and another port is called
working port. Other switches in the X-Ring group are called working switches and their
two member ports are called working ports. When the failure of network connection
occurs, the backup port will automatically become a working port to recovery the failure.
The switch supports the function and interface for setting the switch as the ring master
or slave mode. The ring master can negotiate and place command to other switches in
the X-Ring group. If there are 2 or more switches in master mode, then software will
select the switch with lowest MAC address number as the ring master. The X-Ring
master ring mode will be enabled by the X-Ring configuration interface. Also, user can
identify the switch as the ring master from the R.M. LED panel of the LED panel on the
switch.
The system also supports the coupling ring that can connect 2 or more X-Ring group
for the redundant backup function and dual homing function that prevent connection
lose between X-Ring group and upper level/core switch.
• Legacy Mode: To enable the X-Ring function. Marking the check box to enable the
X-Ring function.
• Enable Ring Master: Mark the check box for enabling this machine to be a ring
master.
• 1st & 2nd Ring Ports: Pull down the selection menu to assign two ports as the
member ports. 1st Ring Port is the working port and 2nd Ring Port is the backup port.
When 1st Ring Port fails, the system will automatically upgrade the 2nd Ring Port to
be the working port.
• Enable Coupling Ring: To enable the coupling ring function. Marking the check box
to enable the coupling ring function.
• Coupling port: Assign the member port.
• Control port: Set the switch as the master switch in the coupling ring.
• Enable Dual Homing: Set up one of port on the switch to be the Dual Homing port.
In an X-Ring group, maximum Dual Homing port is one. Dual Homing only work

when the X-Ring function enable.
• And then, click ‘Apply’ to apply the configuration.

C.4.1 802.1x/RADIUS
802.1x is an IEEE authentication specification that allows a client to connect to a
wireless access point or wired switch but prevents the client from gaining access to the
Internet until it provides authority, like a user name and password that are verified by a
separate server.
After enabling the IEEE 802.1X function, you can configure the parameters of this
function.
Radius Server Settings:
• IEEE 802.1x Protocol: .enable or disable 802.1x protocol.

• Radius Server IP: set the Radius Server IP address.
• Server Port: set the UDP destination port for authentication requests to the
specified Radius Server.
• Accounting Port: set the UDP destination port for accounting requests to the
specified Radius Server.
• Shared Key: set an encryption key for using during authentication sessions with the
specified radius server. This key must match the encryption key used on the Radius
Server.
• NAS, Identifier: set the identifier for the radius client.
Advanced Settings:
• Quiet Period: set the period during which the port doesn’t try to acquire a supplicant.
• TX Period: set the period the port wait for retransmit next EAPOL PDU during an
authentication session.
• Supplicant Timeout: set the period of time the switch waits for a supplicant
response to an EAP request.
• Server Timeout: set the period of time the switch waits for a server response to an
authentication request.
• Max Requests: set the number of authentication that must time-out before
authentication fails and the authentication session ends.
• Reauth period: set the period of time after which clients connected must be re-
authenticated.

Figure C.61: 802.1x/RADIUS
Port Auth
You can configure 802.1x authentication state for each port. The State provides Disable,
Accept, Reject and Authorize.
• Reject: the specified port is required to be held in the unauthorized state.

• Accept: the specified port is required to be held in the Authorized state.
• Authorized: the specified port is set to the Authorized or Unauthorized state in
accordance with the outcome of an authentication exchange between the Supplicant
and the authentication server.
• Disable: The specified port is required to be held in the Authorized state.

C.4.2 MAC Address Table

Use the MAC address table to ensure the port security.
133
You can add a static MAC address; it remains in the switch's address table, regardless
of whether the device is physically connected to the switch. This saves the switch from
having to re-learn a device's MAC address when the disconnected or powered-off
device is active on the network again. You can add / modify / delete a static MAC
address.
Static MAC Address
You can add static MAC address in the switch MAC table here.
• MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the port that should permanently forward
traffic, regardless of the device network activity.
• Port No.: pull down the selection menu to select the port number.
• Click ’Add’.
• If you want to delete the MAC address from filtering table, select the MAC address
and click ‘Delete’.
Figure C.63: Static MAC Address
MAC Filtering
By filtering MAC address, the switch can easily filter pre-configured MAC address and
reduce the un-safety. You can add and delete filtering MAC address via this function.
• MAC Address: Enter the MAC address that you want to filter.
• Click ‘Add’.
• If you want to delete the MAC address from filtering table, select the MAC address
and click ‘Delete’.

Figure C.64: MAC Filtering
All MAC Addresses
You can view the port of connected device’s MAC address and related devices’ MAC
address.
• Select the port.

• The selected port of the static MAC address information will be displayed here.
• Click ‘Clear’ button to clear the current port static MAC address information in the
MAC table.
