Please note that the model you have purchased may appear slightly different from those shown in the illustrations. For more detailed information about your switch, its components, making network connections, and technical specications, please refer to the User’s Guide included with your switch. Step 1 – Unpacking Open the shipping carton and carefully unpack its contents. Please consult the packing list located in the User Guide to make sure all items are present and undamaged. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your local D-Link reseller for replacement. - One D-Link Switch - Rack mounting bracket- Power cord- Power cord retainer - User’s Guide CD with DNA (D-Link Network Assistant) program- One multilingual Getting Started Guide- An accessory kit for one ground screw Step 2 – Switch Installation For safe switch installation and operation, it is recommended that you:

  • Visually inspect the power cord to see that it is secured fully to the AC power connector.
  • Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the switch.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the switch Desktop or Shelf Installation When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device must be attached on the bottom at each corner of the device’s base. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it. Figure 1. Attaching the rubber feet Grounding the Switch (depending on the purchased model) This section describes how to connect the Switch to ground. You must complete this procedure before powering on your Switch. Required Tools and Equipment
  • Grounding screws (included in the accessory kit): One M4 x 6 mm (metric) pan-head screw
  • Grounding cable (not included in the accessory kit): The grounding cable should be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for installation. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the cable depends on the proximity of the Switch to proper grounding facilities.
  • A screwdriver (not included in the accessory kit) You can connect the Switch to a protective ground by following the steps below:

1. Verify if the system power is off.

2. Use the grounding cable to place the #8 terminal

lug ring on top of the ground-screw opening.

3. Insert the grounding screw into the ground-screw

4. Using a screwdriver, tighten the grounding screw to

secure the grounding cable to the Switch.

5. Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the

grounding cable to an appropriate grounding stud or bolt on rack where the Switch is installed.

6. Verify if the connections at the ground connector on

the Switch and the rack are securely attached. Figure 2. Connect a Grounding Cable2 ENGLISH

5. Fasten the tie of the Retainer until the power cord is secured.Figure 3-5. Secure the power cord

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 to the switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided.Figure 4. Attaching the mounting bracketsThen, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the switch in the rack.Figure 5. Installing the switch in a standard-sized equipment rack Step 3 – Plugging in the AC Power Cord You can now connect the AC power cord into the rear of the switch and to an electrical outlet (preferably one that is grounded and surge protected).Figure 6. Plugging the switch into an outlet Installing Power Cord Retainer To prevent accidental removal of the AC power cord, it is recommended to install the power cord retainer together with the power cord.1. With the rough side facing down, insert the Tie Wrap into the hole below the power socket.Figure 3-1. Insert Tie Wrap to the Switch2. Plug the AC power cord into the power socket of the Switch.Figure 3-2. Connect the power cord to the Switch3. Slide the Retainer through the Tie Wrap until the end of the cord.Figure 3-3. Slide the Retainer through the Tie Wrap4. Circle the tie of the Retainer around the power cord and into the locker of the Retainer.Figure 3-4. Circle around the power cord3 ENGLISH Step 2 In order to login and congure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP address in the same range as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~254), and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. Open your web browser and enter http://10.90.90.90 (the factory-default IP address) in the address box. Then press <Enter>. Figure 8. Enter the IP address 10.90.90.90 in the web browser The web conguration can also be accessed through the DNA. You can click the IP hyper link in the device list in the DNA to open the web GUI of devices. NOTE: The switch’s factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0 Step 3 When the following logon box appears, enter “admin” for the password. Press OK to enter the main conguration window. Figure 9. Enter Network Password window Step 4 Before entering the Web-based Management, the Smart Wizard will guide you to quickly congure some functions, such as Password Settings, SNMP Settings, and System Settings. If you don’t plan to change anything, click Exit to exit the Wizard and enter the Web- based Management. For a detailed look at the Smart Wizard’s functions, please refer to the Smart Wizard introduction in the user manual. Power Failure As a precaution, the switch should be unplugged in case of power failure. When power is resumed, plug the switch back in. Management Options The D-Link Switch can be managed in-band by using Telnet. The user may also choose the Web-based Management, accessible through a web browser or through any PC using the DNA (D-Link Network Assistant). If you want to manage only one D-Link Switch, the Web- Based Management is the better option. Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with Web-Based Management or an SNMP network manager and the PC should have an IP address in the same range as the switch. However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link Switches, the DNA (D-Link Network Assistant) is the better option. Using the DNA (D-Link Network Assistant), you don’t need to change the IP address of your PC and it is easy to start the initial setting of multiple Switches. Please refer to the following detailed installation instructions for the Web-Based Management, DNA (D-Link Network Assistant), Telnet Management and SNMP-Based Management. Web-based Management Interface After a successful physical installation, you can congure the switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics graphically using a web browser, such as Microsoft

Internet Explorer version 7.0 and higher, Firefox, Chrome or Safari. You need the following equipment to begin the web conguration of your device:

  • A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
  • A standard Ethernet cable Step 1 Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports in front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the PC. Figure 7. Connected Ethernet cable4 ENGLISH DNA (D-Link Network Assistant) The DNA (D-Link Network Assistant) included on the installation CD is a program for discovering Switches with the same L2 network segment connected to your PC. This tool can support windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7. There are two options for the installation of DNA (D-Link Network Assistant), one is through the autorun program on the installation CD and the other is manual installation.

PROTECTING AGAINST ELECTROSTATIC

DISCHARGE Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis. You can also take the following steps to help prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping

carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.

2. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an

antistatic container or packaging.

3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible,

use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads, and an antistatic grounding str

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. PREAMBLE The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modied by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reect on the original authors' reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modication follow.51

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a

notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modication".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's

source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of

it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modied les to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the les and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modied program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,

under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-

readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program

except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not

signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on

the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent

infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.52 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain

countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new

versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free

programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY

DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL

OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

HOW TO APPLY THESE TERMS TO YOUR NEW PROGRAMS If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source le to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA. Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.Ver. 4.01(WW)_130x183 2015/05/07 DQWWWEBSS0K0401
