See the following table for the cables required and distance limitation to attain the corresponding
speed.
Note: Make sure to select the correct speed for the port in PORT > Port Setup.
1.1.3 Management Modes
NebulaFlex means you can set the Switch to operate in either standalone or cloud mode (but not both
at the same time).
Use the DHCP-assigned IP address to access the Web Configurator. To know the IP address, use the
NCC, the ZON utility, or the console port if available. You can also use the domain name “setup.zyxel” to
access the Web Configurator when you are directly connected to the Switch.
Note: Make sure your computer can connect to a DNS server through the Switch.
Use the Web Configurator to configure and manage the Switch directly in standalone mode or use
Nebula Control Center (NCC) to configure and manage the Switch in cloud mode. The Nebula Control
Center (NCC) is an alternative cloud-based network management system that allows you to remotely
manage and monitor the Switch. You may also access a minimized version of the Web Configurator in
cloud mode.
Nebula Cloud Management
To have Nebula manage the Switch, you must first register it at the Nebula web portal at https://
nebula.zyxel.com, and ensure that Nebula Control Center (NCC) Discovery is enabled in SYSTEM >
Cloud Management in the Switch Web Configurator.
Note: See the Switch’s datasheet for the feature differences between standalone and
Nebula cloud management modes. You can find the Switch’s datasheet at the Zyxel
website.
See the NCC (Nebula Control Center) User’s Guide for how to configure the Switch using Nebula.
