The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact
of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the device to prevent static electricity,
but too strong static electricity can cause deadly damage to the electronic elements on the internal
circuit board. To avoid the effect of static electricity on the operation of the switch, attach much
importance to the following items:
■
Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
■
Keep the device well grounded and ensure that the static electricity has been transferred.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected by external
interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, and
impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, make sure to take the following measures:
■
Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
■
Keep the device far from high-frequency and strong-current devices such as radio transmitting
station.
■
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Lightning Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the air in the
electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000
°C
. As this instant current is strong

3.6 Initialization
After the device is powered on, it begins the Power-On Self-Test. A series of tests run automatically
to ensure the device functions properly. During this time, its LED indicators will respond in the
following order:
1. The PWR LED indicator lights on all the time. The SYS LED and the LED indicators of all the ports
keep off.
2. After about one minute, the SYS LED and LED indicators of all the ports will flash momentarily and
then turn off.
3. Several seconds later, the SYS LED indicator will flash, which represents a successful initialization.
3.7 Stack Topology
With stackable design, the Campus Switches can be stacked into one stack topology for higher
reliability, larger bandwidth, and simpler networking. To build the stack topology, you need to
prepare 2-4 switches and enough 10G SFP+ modules/cables. For more details, see the table below:
Switch Compatible Model(s) Quantity
SG5428X SG5428X, SG5428XMPP, SG5452X, SG5452XMPP, SG5428XF 2-4
SG5428XMPP SG5428X, SG5428XMPP, SG5452X, SG5452XMPP, SG5428XF 2-4
SG5452X SG5428X, SG5428XMPP, SG5452X, SG5452XMPP, SG5428XF 2-4

SG5428XF SG5428X, SG5428XMPP, SG5452X, SG5452XMPP, SG5428XF 2-4
There are three stack topology structures for different scenarios, please build the proper topology
according to your needs:
1. Chain Topology: Chain topology is relatively simple and does not require cable connection
between the first and last unit. It is suitable for long-distance stacking, but its reliability is
relatively low.

Figure 3-6 Chain Topology
Stacking Port
Group 1
Stacking Port Group 2
2. Ring Topology: Ring topology has higher reliability compared with the chain topology. When one
of the chains in the ring topology is disconnected, the ring topology becomes a chain topology,
but the entire stack system can still work normally. The ring topology requires cable connection
between the first and last unit, so it's not suitable for long-distance stacking.
Figure 3-7 Ring Topology
Stacking Port
Group 1
Stacking Port Group 2
3. Star Topology: Star topology connects the switches to a central main switch, therefore, it can
significantly increase the data forwarding rate between member switches while providing unified
management.

19Connection
Figure 3-8 Star Topolog y
Note:
• Stacking port is not allowed to connect to non-stacking port, as it may affect the operation of the
device.
• Stacking ports with the same group ID are not allowed to connect to stacking ports with different
group IDs, neither to different devices.
• A stacking port group is a logical port dedicated to stacking and needs to be bound to a stacking
port. A stacking port group can be bound to one or more stacking ports to improve bandwidth and
reliability.

Chapter 4 Configuration
4.1 Conguration Overview
The switch supports two configuration options:
■
Standalone Mode: Configure and manage the switch singly.
■
Controller Mode: Configure and manage the network devices centrally. It is recommended in the
large-scale network, which consists of mass devices such as access points, switches, and gateways.
Note:
When the switch is changed from Standalone Mode to Controller Mode, congurations of the switch
will be lost. For details, refer to the related documents on the download center of our ocial website:
https://support.omadanetworks.com/product/.
4.2 Standalone Mode
In Standalone Mode, use a computer to configure and manage the switch using GUI (Graphical User
Interface) or CLI (command-line interface).
Figure 4-1 Topology for Standalone Mode

■
Using the GUI
1. To access the management page of the switch, make sure the switch and computer are in the
same subnet. Open a browser and type the switch’s IP address in the address field, then press the
Enter key.
■
If the switch obtains IP address from the DHCP server (typically a gateway), find the switch’s IP
address on the DHCP server.
■
If not, use the default IP address 192.168.0.1 to launch the switch’s management page.
2. The first time you log in, set the username and password to better protect your network and
devices. After that, the system will automatically redirect you back to the login interface to
authenticate with the newly created credentials.
3. After a successful login, the main page will appear. You can click the menus on the top side and left
side to configure the corresponding functions.
For the detailed configurations, refer to the User Guide and CLI Guide. The guides can be found on
