About This Manual
Preface
This manual describes how to install and use the 16 Ports Web-based Smart Ethernet Switch. The TX ports of the
switch introduced here auto-negotiates the presence of 10/100Mbps and full/half-duplex mode and auto-MDIX. In
addition, it allows an optional 100BaseFX multi-mode or single-mode fiber module, enabling long distance
connection.
To get the most out of this manual, you should have an understanding of networking concepts such as bridging,
IEEE 802.3 10BaseT Ethernet, IEEE 802.3u 100BaseTX/FX Fast Ethernet, and local area networks (LANs).
For more information about these topics, please refer to the Appendices.
In this manual, you will find:
• Introduction on the Switch
• Product features
• Illustrative LEDs functions
• Installation instructions
• Specifications

Front Panel Display
The LED indicators on the front panel provide you with instant feedback on each port status, and help you monitor
and troubleshoot the switch.
Figure 3: Front Panel LEDs
Power
This LED comes on when the switch is properly connected to power and turned on.
Push Button
The push button is located at the right side of port 16 on the 16-Port Switch.
Depress this button to use twisted pair port 16, and press this button to use the 100BaseFX module.
IP RESET Push Button
Press the Front panel IP RESET push button around five seconds to reset the Ethernet Switch back with
the default IP Address.
Port Status
The RJ-45 ports are numbered from 1 to 16 on the 16-Port Switch.
The LEDs are located on the ports of the switch, displaying status for each respective port. Please refer
to the table below for more information.
Consult the following table for details.
L
Before you use this table for troubleshooting, make sure the switch is properly connected to power and turned on.
Physical Ports
The 16 Ports Switch has sixteen or twenty-four 10/100Mbps ports using RJ-45 connectors and provides one slot for
the optional single-port fiber module. The optional module allows fiber type (multi-mode or single-mode fiber) and
connector (SC, ST, MT-RJ, VF-45, or LC) at user’s discretion.

Installation
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures,
humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements:
-
-
-
The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 50 degrees Celsius).
The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing.
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M)
field strength.
-
-
Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the switch or
on the rear of the equipment.
The power outlet should be within 6 feet ( 1.8 meters ) of the switch.

Express Ethernet Switch: LB9017A-R3
Installation and Placement Instructions
Mounted to 19-inch standard rack
Locate the accessories supplied in the product package. Use the rackmount brackets and screws to install the switch
into any EIA 19” standard rack.
Step 1: Attach the brackets to each side of the chassis.
Step 2: Apply the screws to each side and secure them tightly.
Step 3: Carefully position the switch into the rack.
Step 4: Align the brackets to the side holes on the rack and use rack screws to secure the chassis with the rack.
Step 5: Proceed to the “Connecting to Power” section.
Desktop or any flat surface
The switch can sit on desktop or any flat surface with adequate space and ventilation. If you want to place it onto a
shelf, make sure the shelf can withstand the weight of the switch.
Step 1: Simply put the switch on the desired place.
Step 2: Ensure the switch receives good ventilation.
Step 3: Proceed to the “Connecting to Power” section.

Express Ethernet Switch: LB9017A-R3
Optional Fiber Module Installation
Consult the following illustrations before installation.
Step 1: Make sure the power is switched off. The module is not hot-swappable.
L
It may cause electric shock or any possible damage to the switch if the power is not switched off.
Step 2: Remove the module from the static-free container.
Step 3: Unscrew the cover plate of the expansion slot.
(The slot for single-port module is located at the right side of the switch.)
Step 4: Remove the plate.
(Keep it for future use if you decide to remove this module later.)
Step 5: Carefully slide the module into the slot, following the internal plastic guide rails.
Step 6: Once it is fully slid in, snap in the module to make a proper connection.
Step 7: Fasten the module screws.
Step 8: Finally, turn on the power.

Express Ethernet Switch: LB9017A-R3
Connecting to Power
Locate the supplied AC power cord.
Step 1:Connect the AC power cord to the receptacle at the back of the switch.
Step 2:Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100~240Vac.
Step 3: The power LED on the front panel will then illuminate.
Figure 5: Rear view of the switch
Connecting to Your Network
Cabling
Step 1: First, ensure the power of the switch (and end devices) is turned off.
LIt may cause an electric shock or any possible harm to you if the power is not switched off.
Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use.
(Consult the table below for cabling requirements based on connectors and speed considerations. )
Step 3: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a desired device.
Step 4: Once the connections between two end devices are made successfully, turn on the power and the switch is operational.

Network Segmentation
The maximum segment distance between a node and a directly connected switch port on a 100BaseFX network is
75km using 10/125 (or 9/125)µm single-mode fiber optic cable. It is capable of a maximum span of 2km when
62.5/125 (or 50/125)µm multi-mode fiber optic cable is used.

Switch Configuration
Setting up Console Port Connection (Web-Based Browser Interface)
The Ethernet Switch provides a browser interface that lets you configure and manage the
Ethernet Switch from a Web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator) remotely.
By connecting to the Ethernet Switch’s console port, you can access the Ethernet Switch’s web
interface applications directly in your web browser by entering the default IP address of the
Ethernet Switch (192.168.1.10). You can then use your web browser to list and manage the
Ethernet Switch configuration parameters from one central location.
Logging on to The Ethernet Switch
Switch IP Address
In your web browser, specify the default IP address of the Ethernet Switch (192.168.1.10 ).
Example: ( 1616W: 192.168.1.8 )
User Name
Enter the factory default user name: admin.
Password
Enter the factory default password (no password, press Enter directly).
