Chapter 2 Installation
Please select the appropriate installation method according to the actual needs.
Before You Start
• Ensure that the desktop or rack is stable and firm enough.
• Keep the room well-ventilated. Keep at least 10 cm distance around the device for heat
dissipation.
• Keep at least 1.5 cm vertical distance between two adjacent devices for rack-mount installation.
2.1
Desk-Mounted Installation
Place the device on the desk.
2.2
Rack-Mounted Installation
Steps
1. Check the grounding and stability of the rack.
2. Use the attached screws to fix the two L-shaped brackets to the sides of the switch.
Figure 2-1 Fix L-Shaped Brackets
3. Place your switch on the rack, fix it to the rack with self-prepared screws to stably install your
switch.

Chapter 3 Grounding
3.1 Connecting the Grounding Cable
Grounding is used to quickly release overvoltage and overcurrent induced by lightening for switch,
and to protect personal safety. Select the appropriate grounding method according to your needs.
3.1.1 With Grounding Bar
If a grounding bar is available at the installation site, follow the steps below.
Steps
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the binding post on the grounding bar.
2. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding terminal of the device and fix
the screw.
Figure 3-1 Grounding with Grounding Bar
3.1.2 Without Grounding Bar
If there is no grounding bar but the earth is nearby and the grounding body is allowed to be
buried, follow the steps below.
Steps
1. Bury an angle steel or steel pipe (≥ 0.5 m) into the mud land.
2. Weld one end of the grounding cable to the angle steel or steel pipe and embalm the welding
point via electroplating or coating.
3. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding terminal.

3.2 Connecting RJ45 Port
Use a network cable to connect the device to the RJ45 port of a peer device such as network
camera, NVR, switch, etc.

3.3 Connecting SFP Optical Module
Connecting SFP optical module is supported when the device has a fiber optic port or a combo.
When connected to a network cable, the combo is a RJ45 port. When plugged into with an optical
module and connected to an optical fiber, the combo functions as a fiber optic port.
When connected to both the network cable and optical fiber at the same time, the port works as a
fiber optic port.
Steps
• Single-Mode optical module needs to be paired.
• Do not bend fiber optic (curvature radius ≥ 10 cm) overly.
• Do not look directly at fiber optic connector because the laser is harmful to eyes.
1.
Connect the two paired SFP optical modules with an optical fiber.
2.
Hold the SFP optical module from one side, and smoothly plug it into the device along with the
SFP port slot until the optical module and the device are closely attached.
3.
After powering on the device, check the status of LINK/ACT indicator. If the indicator is lit, the
link is connected. If the indicator is unlit, the link is disconnected. Check the line, and make sure
peer devices have been started.

Chapter 4 Powering on the Device
Please use the attached power cord in package to power on the device.
Before powering your switch, make sure that:
• The operating power supply is compliant with rated input standard.
• Port cables and grounding cables are correctly connected.
• If there is outdoor cabling, connect a lightning rod and lightening arrester to the cable.
PoE power supply line and strong wire cannot be wired together, otherwise PD equipment or
switch ports will be burnt.

Chapter 5 Device Management
The device can be configured and managed through iVMS-4200 software, mainly including network
parameter configuration, port configuration, link aggregation configuration, network topology
display and so on.
• This chapter will briefly introduce the device management through iVMS-4200 software. For
other functions, please refer to User Manual of iVMS-4200 Software.
• All pictures in this manual are for illustration only, and the specific interface is subject to the
