Page 10: Mac Address Learning
Chapter 1 Product Overview Cooling Fan A fan for cooling the power supply is installed in the rear panel of the switch. If the fan stops, a buzzer sounds and PoE functionality is disabled. Although switching still functions, turn off the unit and disconnect power until the fan is fixed. Prolonged usage in this state can result in a fire due to overheating. MAC Address Learning The switch uses IVL to learn MAC addresses. IVL is a method that retains a MAC address table for each VLAN. It differs from SVL, which retains a shared MAC address table for the entire device. Be sure you understand how IVL works before you create a VLAN with the switch.

Ignore : No operation is performed for the port where a loop was detected. However, the DIAG LED and LED for the port where the loop was detected both blink, and the buzzer sounds for about 60 seconds. If the loop is detected after 60 seconds, the 60-second buzzer sounds again, and the operation is repeated. Disable the port: When a loop is detected in a port, the port is disabled only for the number of seconds that was set in “Disable duration”. At the same time, the DIAG LED and LED for the port where the loop was detected both blink, and the buzzer sounds for the number of seconds set in “Disable for:”. Disable for: If “Disable the port “ was set for operation when a loop is detected, this sets the time (seconds) that the port is disabled. Range: 0 to 65535 seconds MAC Thrashing This enables the MAC thrashing system of the loop detection function. A loop is recognized if the number of learned MAC addresses of this switch exceeds the preset threshold value in 1 second. This enables the LDF system of the loop detection function. This sends LDF packets at 1-second intervals. A loop is recognized if the sent LDF packet is received. Receive Rate This enables the reception rate system of the loop detection function. A loop is recognized if the preset reception rate is exceeded. Received Data Threshold This sets the reception rate threshold value (1 to 1000 Mbps) for recognizing a loop. • If the time that was set in “Disable duration” has elapsed, the port is automatically enabled. • The loop detection function temporarily disables a port when a loop is detected. It does not prevent loops. The spanning tree function is used to block the port where the loop was detected; it automatically switches the communication route to prevent a network failure.

When the boot settings are set to read from USB, they are read from the “default.cfg” file on the USB device. If there is no ”default.cfg” file on the USB device, the configuration file is read from the switch itself. When the settings are changed while a USB device is inserted in the device, ”default.cfg” is created on the USB device, and synchronized with the settings on the product. The latest settings file is always saved to ”default.cfg” on the USB device. ”default.cfg” under the root directory of the USB device is loaded upon booting. Auto-save A backup of the configuration file is automatically saved to the USB device when the configuration is changed. If enabled, the settings file is automatically saved to “default.cfg” and “yyyymmdd.cfg” on the USB device whenever configuration changes are made. The latest version is always saved to “default.cfg”, and the version before the latest settings file is saved to “yyyymmdd.cfg”. default.cfg: The latest settings file is synchronized with the product. yyyymmdd.cfg: This indicates the date set on the switch. The settings file from before the change in settings is saved as a backup. Example: If the settings are changed on October 1, 2012 while Auto-save is enabled, the settings file for after the change in settings is saved to the USB device as “default.cfg“ and the settings file from before the change in settings is saved as “20121001.cfg“ as a backup. If several changes are made to the settings file on the same day, “yyyymmdd.cfg“ is overwritten. “default.cfg“ and “yyyymmdd.cfg“ are saved to the root directory of the USB device. - 55 -...

Chapter 3 - Troubleshooting Power LED is not lit Check that the switch and the power outlet are connected by the power cable. Link LED is not lit • Check that the power of the switch and connected device are turned on. • Check that the switch and the connected device are both connected by a Ethernet cable. • Check that an appropriate type of cable is used and that the cable length does not exceed the specifications. • Check that the Ethernet adapter on the connected device is operating properly and that there are no problems with the Ethernet cable. -
Page 60: Power Problems
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Power Problems If the power LED is not lit when power is connected, this could be a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. Check that the power cord is firmly connected to a known- good supply of power. If the power LED still doesn’t come on, there may be a problem with the internal power supply unit. Access from the Network You can use a Web browser to access and manage the switch from anywhere on the network to which it is connected. However, you must configure a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings on the switch in advance. Check the following points if you are unable to establish a link with the switch. • The network connection is valid. • The switch has a valid IP address. • The connected port is not disabled. • There are no problems with the connected Ethernet cable. - 59 -... -

- Page 63 Appendix Twisted Pair Cable and Port Specifications A two-pair twisted pair cable is required for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T connections. Each wire pair is identified by two colors. For example, one may be red and the other red with a white stripe. In addition, RJ-45 connectors are required at each end of the cable. Note: A 4-pair 8-wire straight cable is required to use PoE power supply. It is necessary to connect wire pairs to the RJ-45 connectors in a certain direction. 100BASE-TX / 10BASE-T Port Specifications In the cables used in 100BASE-TX / 10BASE-T, pins 1 and 2 are used for sending data, and pins 3 and 6 are used for receiving data.
- Page 64 Appendix 1000BASE-T Port Specifications The switch supports Auto-MDIX on all 1000BASE-T ports. You can use straight cables in all network connections with computers, servers, other switches and hubs. Use Category 5e or 6 UTP/STP cables for 1000BASE-T connections. Also ensure that the cable length does not exceed 100 meters. The pin assignments for 1000BASE-T MDI ports and MDI-X ports are shown in the table below. Pin number MDIX / MDI signal Signal function BI_DA+ / BI_DB+ Send and receive data A (+) / Send and receive data B (+) BI_DA- / BI_DB- Send and receive data A (-) / Send and receive data B (-) BI_DB+ / BI_DA+ Send and receive data B (+) / Send and receive data A (+) BI_DC+ / BI_DD+ Send and receive data C (+) / Send and receive data D (+) BI_DC- / BI_DD- Send and receive data C (-) / Send and receive data D (-) BI_DB- / BI_DA- Send and receive data B (-) / Send and receive data A (-) BI_DD+ / BI_DC+ Send and receive data D (+) / Send and receive data C (+) BI_DD- / BI_DC- Send and receive data D (-) / Send and receive data C (-) + and - refer to the polarity of the wires making up each wire pair.
