1.2 Management Preparations
The Managed Switch can be accessed through both Telnet connection and a web browser,
such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, etc.. Before you can access the Managed Switch to
configure it, you need to connect cables properly.
1.2.1 Connecting the Managed Switch
It is extremely important that proper cables are used with correct pin arrangements when
connecting Managed Switch to other devices such as switches, hubs, workstations, etc..
1000Base-X Fiber Port or 100/1000 Base-X Fiber Port
The 1000Base-X fiber port is located at the rear panel of the Managed Switch. This
port is primarily used for uplink connection and can operate at 1000M/Full or Half
Duplex mode. Duplex SC or WDM Simplex SC types of connectors are available. Use
proper multimode or single-mode optical fiber cable to connect this port with the other
Ethernet Fiber port.
Before connecting to other switches, workstations or media converters, make sure
both sides of the fiber transfer are with the same media type, for example 1000Base-X
Single-mode to 1000Base-X Single-mode, 1000Base-X Multimode to 1000Base-X
Multimode. Check that the fiber-optic cable type matches the fiber transfer model. To
connect to 1000Base-SX transfer, use the multimode fiber cable (one side must be
male duplex SC connector type). To connect to 1000Base-LX transfer, use the single-
mode fiber cable (one side must be male duplex LC connector type).
