NPACKING AND ETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: ♦ One switch chassis ♦ One management module (pre-installed in uppermost slot) ♦...
Figure 2-1. Switch installed on a Desktop or Shelf Rack Installation The Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the Switch’s front panel (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided.
Installing Modules The DES-6300 supports up to 6 modules which can be installed into the module bays. Networking modules are warm-swappable, meaning they can be added and removed while power to the switch is ON. After warm-swapping a networking module, the switch will automatically be rebooted.
Figure 2–4. Installing a Module Connecting a Terminal The DES-6300 can perform basic switching functions without special configuration, but to use the Switch’s advanced features you must first configure the unit through a terminal (a VT-100 serial data terminal or a computer running a VT-100 emulator). The connection is made through the Switch’s Diagnostic RS-232 port, which is configured at...

LED Indicators The LED indicators of the Switch include CPU Status and Power OK. The following shows the LED indicators for the Switch along with an explanation of each indicator. Figure 3-9. CPU Front Panel LED Indicators ♦ CPU Status This center indicator on the front panel displays the current status of the switch.
ONNECTING WITCH This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Ethernet network as well as providing an informational cable length table. Switch to End Node End nodes include PCs outfitted with a Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers. For twisted-pair (copper) connections, the RJ-45 UTP ports on NICs and most routers are MDI-II.
10BASE-T Device For a 10BASE-T device, the Switch’s LED indicators should display the following: ♦ 100M speed indicator is OFF. ♦ Link/Act indicator is ON. 100BASE-TX Device For a 100BASE-TX device, the Switch’s LED indicators should display the following: ♦ 100M speed indicator is ON.

RJ-45 P PECIFICATION When connecting the Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a modified crossover cable is necessary. Please review these products for matching cable pin assignment. The following diagram and table show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/connector and their pin assignments for the switch-to-network adapter card connection, and the straight/crossover cable for the Switch-to-switch/hub/bridge connection.
