2.6 Installing and Removing SFP Modules

Up to two fiber optic ports are available (depends on model) for use in the switch. Refer to the
technical specifications for details.
The Gigabit Ethernet ports on the switch are 100/1000Base SFP Fiber ports, which require
using the 100M or 1G mini-GBIC fiber transceivers to work properly. Advantech provides com-
pleted transceiver models for different distance requirement.
The concept behind the LC port and cable is quite straight forward. Suppose that you are con-
necting devices I and II; contrary to electrical signals, optical signals do not require a circuit in
order to transmit data. Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from
device I to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I,
for full-duplex transmission.
Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive) port of device II,
and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit) port of device II. If you make your own
cable, we suggest labeling the two sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-
to-B, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

2.6.1 Installing SFP Modules

To connect the fiber transceiver and LC cable, use the following guidelines:
1. Remove the dust plug from the fiber optic slot chosen for the SFP transceiver.

Figure 2.3 Removing the Dust Plug from an SFP Slot

11 EKI-7428G Series User Manual

 Note! Do not remove the dust plug from the SFP slot if you are not installing
the transceiver at this time. The dust plug protects hardware from dust
contamination.

2. Position the SFP transceiver with the handle on top, see the following figure.
3. Locate the triangular marking in the slot and align it with the bottom of the transceiver.
4. Insert the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
5. Make sure the module is seated correctly before sliding the module into the slot.
A click sounds when it is locked in place.

Handle

Figure 2.4 Installing an SFP Transceiver

Note! If you are attaching fiber optic cables to the transceiver, continue with
the following step. Otherwise, repeat the previous steps to install the
remaining SFP transceivers in the device.

6. Remove the protective plug from the SFP transceiver.

Note! Do not remove the dust plug from the transceiver if you are not installing
the fiber optic cable at this time. The dust plug protects hardware from
dust contamination.

7. Insert the fiber cable into the transceiver. The connector snaps into place and locks.

 Chapter 3
3 Configuration Utility
3.1 First Time Setup
3.1.1 Overview
The Industrial Ethernet Managed Switch is a configurable device that facilitates the intercon-
nection of Ethernet devices on an Ethernet network. This includes computers, operator inter-
faces, I/O, controllers, RTUs, PLCs, other switches/hubs or any device that supports the
standard IEEE 802.3 protocol.
This switch has all the capabilities of a store and forward Ethernet switch plus advanced man-
agement features such as SNMP, RSTP and port mirroring. This manual details how to config-
ure the various management parameters in this easy to use switch.

3.1.2 Introduction
To take full advantage of all the features and resources available from the switch, it must be
configured for your network.
The switch implements Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Simple Network Manage-
ment Protocol (SNMP) to provide most of the services offered by the switch. Rapid Spanning
Tree Protocol allows managed switches to communicate with each other to ensure that there
exists only one active route between each pair of network nodes and provides automatic
failover to the next available redundant route. A brief explanation of how RSTP works is given
in the Spanning Tree section.
The switch is capable of communicating with other SNMP capable devices on the network to
exchange management information. This statistical/derived information from the network is
saved in the Management Information Base (MIB) of the switch. The MIB is divided into sev-
eral different information storage groups. These groups will be elaborated in detail in the Man-
agement and SNMP information section of this document. The switch implements Internet
Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to optimize the flow of multicast traffic on your network.
The switch supports both port-based and tag-based Virtual LANs for flexible integration with
VLAN-aware networks with support for VLAN-unaware devices.

3.1.3 Administrative Interface Access

There are several administrative interfaces to the switch:
1. A graphical web interface accessible via the switch's built-in web server. Both HTTP and
secure HTTPS with SSL are supported.

Note! This is the recommended method for managing the switch.

2. A terminal interface via the RS232/USB port or over the network using telnet or Secure
Shell (SSH).
3. An SNMP interface can be used to read/write many settings.
4. Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used to read/write most settings. Initial setup must
be done using an Ethernet connection (recommended) or the serial port.

3.1.4 Using the Graphical (Web) Interface

The graphical interface is provided via a web server in the switch and can be accessed via a
web browser such as Opera, Mozilla, or Internet Explorer.

21 EKI-7428G Series User Manual

 Note! JavaScript must be supported and enabled in your browser for the
graphical interface to work correctly.

HTTP and HTTPS (secure HTTP) are supported for access to the web server. By default, both
protocols are enabled. Either or both may be disabled to secure the switch. (See the Remote
Access Security topic in this section.)
To access the graphical interface, enter a URL like HTTP://192.168.1.1 in your browser's
address bar. Replace “http” with “https” to use secure http and replace “192.168.1.1” with your
switch's IP address if you've changed it from the factory default.
The web server in the switch uses a signed security certificate. When you access the server
via https, you may see a warning dialog indicating that the certificate was signed by an
unknown authority. This is expected and to avoid this message in the future you can choose to
install the certificate on your computer

Note! This manual describes and depicts the web user interface in detail. The
terminal interface is not specifically shown but is basically the same.

3.1.5 Configuring the Switch for Network Access

To control and monitor the switch via the network, it must be configured with basic network
settings, including an IP address and subnet mask. Refer to the quick start guide in Section 1
for how to initially access your switch.
To configure the switch for network access, select [Add Menu Address Here] to reach the Sys-
tem Settings menu. The settings in this menu control the switch's general network configura-
tion.
 DHCP Enabled/Disabled: The switch can automatically obtain an IP address from a
server using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This can speed up initial
set up, as the network administrator does not have to find an open IP address.
 IP Address and subnet mask configuration: The IP address for the switch can be
changed to a user-defined address along with a customized subnet mask to separate
subnets.

Note! Advanced users can set the IP address to 0.0.0.0 to disable the use of
an IP address for additional security. However, any features requiring an
IP address (i.e., web interface, etc.) will no longer be available.

 Default Gateway Selection: A Gateway Address is chosen to be the address of a router

that connects two different networks. This can be an IP address or a Fully Qualified
Domain Name (FQDN) such as “domainname.org”.
 NTP Server: The IP address or domain name of an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server
from which the switch may retrieve the current time at startup. Please note that using a
domain name requires that at least one domain name server be configured.

3.1.6 Configuring the Ethernet Ports

The switch comes with default port settings that should allow you to connect to the Ethernet
Ports with out any necessary configuration. Should there be a need to change the name of the
ports, negotiation settings or flow control settings, you can do this in the Port Configuration

EKI-7428G Series User Manual 22

menu. Access this menu by selecting Setup from the Main menu, and then selecting Main
Settings.
 Port Name: Each port in the managed switch can be identified with a custom name.
Specify a name for each port here.
 Admin: Ports can be enabled or disabled in the managed switch. For ports that are dis-
abled, they are virtually non-existent (not visible in terms of switch operation or spanning
tree algorithm). Choose to enable or disable a port by selecting Enabled or Disabled,
respectively.
 Negotiation: All copper ports and gigabit fiber ports in the managed switch are capable of
autonegotiation such that the fastest bandwidth is selected. Choose to enable auto-
negotiation or use fixed settings. 100Mbps Fiber ports are Fixed speed only.
 Speed/Duplex/Flow Control: The managed switch accepts three local area network
Ethernet Standards. The first standard, 10BASE-T, runs 10Mbps with twisted pair Ether-
net cable between network interfaces. The second local area network standard is
100BASE-T, which runs at 100Mbps over the same twisted pair Ethernet cable. Lastly,
there is 100BASE-F, which enables fast Ethernet (100Mbps) over fiber.
These options are available:
 10h–10 Mbps, Half Duplex
 10f –10 Mbps, Full Duplex
 100h–100 Mbps, Half Duplex
 100f –100 Mbps, Full Duplex
 1000f–1000 Mbps, Full Duplex
On managed switches with gigabit combination ports, those ports with have two rows, a stan-
dard row of check boxes and a row labeled “SFP” with radio buttons. The SFP setting inde-
pendently sets the speed at which a transceiver will operate if one is plugged in. Otherwise,
the switch will use the fixed Ethernet port and the corresponding settings for it.

Note! When 100f is selected for the SFP of a gigabit combination port, the cor-
responding fixed Ethernet jack will be disabled unless it is changed back
to 1000F.

3.2 Command Line Interface Configuration

3.2.1 Introduction to Command-Line Interface (CLI)
The command-line interface (CLI) is constructed with an eye toward automation of CLI-based
configuration. The interaction is modeled on that used in many Internet protocols such as Tel-
net, FTP, and SMTP. After each command is entered and processed, the switch will issue a
reply that consists of a numeric status code and a human-readable explanation of the status.
The general format of commands is:
section parameter [value]
where:
 section is used to group parameters.
 parameter will specify the parameter within the section. For example,
the network section will have parameters for DHCP, IP address, sub-
net mask, and default gateway.
 value is the new value of the parameter. If value is omitted, the current
value is displayed.
Please note that new values will not take effect until explicitly committed.

23 EKI-7428G Series User Manual

Sections and parameter names are case sensitive (e.g., “Network” is not the same as “net-
work”)

Note! Any commands in the CLI Commands section of this chapter, with the
exception of the global commands, must be prefaced with the name of
the section they are in. For example, to change the IP address of the
switch, you would type:
network address <newIP>

3.2.2 Accessing the CLI

To access the CLI interface, establish Ethernet or serial connectivity to the switch.
To connect by Ethernet, open a command prompt window and type:
telnet <switchip> (where <switchip> is the IP address of the switch)
At the login prompt, type “cli” for the username and “admin” for the password. The switch will
respond with “Managed switch configuration CLI ready”.

3.3 Web Browser Configuration

The switch has an HTML based user interface embedded in the flash memory. The interface
offers an easy to use means to manage basic and advanced switch functions. The interface
allows for local or remote switch configuration anywhere on the network.
The interface is designed for use with [Internet Explorer (6.0), Chrome, Firefox].

3.3.1 Preparing for Web Configuration

The interface requires the installation and connection of the switch to the existing network. A
PC also connected to the network is required to connect to the switch and access the inter-
face through a web browser. The required networking information is provided as follows:

4.2 Recommended Practices

One of the easiest things to do to help increase the security posture of the network infrastruc-
ture is to implement a policy and standard for secure management. This practice is an easy
way to maintain a healthy and secure network.
After you have performed the basic configurations on your switches, the following is a recom-
mendation which is considered best practice policy.

4.3 Changing Default Password

In keeping with good management and security practices, it is recommended that you change
the default password as soon as the device is functioning and setup correctly. The following
details the necessary steps to change the default password.
To change the password:
1. Navigate to Tools > User Account.
2. From the User drop-down menu, select the Admin (default) account.
3. In the User Name field, enter admin for this account. It is not necessary to change the
user name, however, a change in the default settings increases the security settings.
4. In the Password field, type in the new password. Re-type the same password in the
Retype Password field.

switch or switches (so the attached machine sees ordinary Ethernet
frames);
 via a single-tagged (tunnel) port, where the outer VLAN only is handled by
the switch (so the attached machine sees single-tagged 802.1Q VLAN
frames); or

handled by the attached machine (which sees double-tagged 802.1ad
VLAN frames).

4.44 QoS
The QoS function allows you to configure settings for the switch QoS interface and how the
switch connects to a remote server to get services.

4.45 General
Traditionally, networks operate on a best-effort delivery basis, all traffic has equal priority and
an equal chance of being delivered in a timely manner. When there is congestion, all traffic
has an equal chance of being dropped.
The QoS feature can be configured for congestion-management and congestion-avoidance to
specifically manage the priority of the traffic delivery. Implementing QoS in the network makes
performance predictable and bandwidth utilization much more effective.
The QoS implementation is based on the prioritization values in Layer 2 frames.

Queue Scheduling
The switch support eight CoS queues for each egress port. For each of the eight queues, two
types of scheduling can be configured: Strict Priority and Weighted Round Robin (WRR).
Strict Priority scheduling is based on the priority of queues. Packets in a high-priority queue
are always sent first and packets in a low-priority queue are only sent after all the high priority
queues are empty.
Weighted RoundRobin (WRR) scheduling is based on the user priority specification to indicate
the importance (weight) of the queue relative to the other CoS queues. WRR scheduling pre-
vents low-priority queues from being completely ignored during periods of high priority traffic.
The WRR scheduler sends some packets from each queue in turn.

A Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
 Verify that is using the right power cord/adapter (DC 12-48V), please don't use the power
adapter with DC output higher than 48V, or it may damage this device.
 Select the proper UTP/STP cable to construct the user network. Use unshielded twisted-
pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections that depend on the
connector type the switch equipped: 100R Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connec-
tions, 100R Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections, or 100R Category 5e/above
cable for 1000Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connec-
tion does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
R = replacement letter for Ohm symbol.
 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 sta-
tus.
