Console port. The Console port is for local management using a terminal or a computer with terminal emulation
software. Connect the DB9 connector to PC COM port. Settings: Baud rate: 115200bps. 8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit. Priority:

Connecting to the Management Port
:
There is no dedicated Mgmt port, just one Console port (RJ45) and 14 SFP
ports. You need a fiber NIC to directly connect your PC to this switch. Otherwise, you need another management switch
between your PC and the switch.

1
: Insert the SFP
module into the SFP+/SFP28 port.

Power Supply Information
:
Warning
: Insert the power supply with the label up (edge connectors down). See the full
Install Guide for more information.
Initial Switch Configuration
: After powering up the switch for the first time, perform the initial switch configuration
using a web browser. To begin, reconfigure your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to ensure the PC can communicate
with the switch. After changing the PC IP address, access the switch Web UI using the switch default IP address.
Switch factory defaults are IP address = 192.168.1.77 and Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0.
Initial Switch Configuration Procedure
:
1.
Power up the PC to be used for initial configuration.
2.
Change the PC’s IP
address and Subnet Mask, so it can communicate with the switch.
3.
Power up the switch to be initially configured and
wait until it has finished its start-up process.
4.
Connect the PC to a port on the switch. You need a fiber NIC on your
computer to connect to the switch (can be a 1G/10G or 25G NIC card), OR you can use another switch in between your
computer and the SM12XPA. Use a copper cable / SFP between your computer and a switch that has 1G or 10G SFP port
and then connect the switch to the SM12XPA.
5
. Check the switch port LED to make sure the link status of the PC is OK.
6.
Run your Web browser on the PC. Enter the factory default IP address to access the switch’s Web UI. If the PC is
configured correctly, the switch’s Login page displays. If the Login page does not display, see the
Install Guide
.
7.
Enter
the factory default username and password (both
admin
) and click “Login”. See the
Web User Guide
.
