INSTALLATION

Install on the Desktop

1. Place the bottom of the switch on a sufficiently large and stable table.
2. Peel off the rubber protective paper of the four footpads one by one, and stick them in the corresponding circular grooves at the four corners of the bottom of the case.
3. Flip the switch over and place it smoothly on the table.

Install on a 19″ Standard Rack

1. Check the grounding and stability of the rack.
2. Install the two L-shaped rack-mounting in the accessories on both sides of the switch, and fix them with the screws provided (KM 3*6).
3. Place the switch in a proper position in the rack and support it with the bracket.
4. Fix the L-shaped rack mounting to the guide grooves at both ends of the rack with screws(prepared by yourself) to ensure that the switch is stably and horizontally installed on the rack.

POWERING AND CONNECTING GWN7806(P)

Grounding the Switch

1. Remove the ground screw from the back of the switch, and connect one end of the ground cable to the wiring terminal of the switch.
2. Put the ground screw back into the screw hole, and tighten it with a screwdriver.
3. Connect the other end of the ground cable to another device that has been grounded or directly to the terminal of the ground bar in the equipment room.

Powering on the Switch

Connect the power cable and the switch first, then connect the power cable to the power supply system of the equipment room.

Connecting Power Cord Anti-Trip

In order to protect the power supply from accidental disconnection, it’s recommended to purchase a power cord anti-trip for installation.

1. Place the smooth side of the fixing strap towards the power outlet and insert it into the hole on the side of it.
2. After plugging the power cord into the power outlet, slide the protector over the remaining strap until it slides over the end of the power cord.
3. Wrap the strap of the protective cord around the power cord and lock it tightly. Fasten the straps until the power cord is securely fastened.

Connect to RJ45 Port

1. Connect one end of the network cable to the switch and the other end to the peer device.
2. After powering on, check the status of the port indicator. If on, it means that the link is connected normally; if off, it means the link is disconnected, please check the cable and the peer device whether are enabled.

Connect to SFP+ Port

The installation process of the fiber module is as follows:

1. Grasp the fiber module from the side and insert it smoothly along the switch SFP port slot until the module is in close contact with the switch.
2. When connecting, pay attention to confirm the Rx and Tx ports of the SFP fiber module. Insert one end of the fiber into the Rx and Tx ports correspondingly, and connect the other end to another device.
3. After powering on, check the status of the port indicator. If on, it means that the link is connected normally; if off, it means the link is disconnected, please check the cable and the peer device whether is enabled.

Connect to Console Port

1. Connect the RJ45 end of the console cable to the console port of the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the console cable to the DB9 male connector or USB port to the PC.

ACCESS AND CONFIGURE

Login using the Web UI

1. A PC uses a network cable to correctly connect any RJ45 port of the switch.
2. Set the Ethernet (or local connection) IP address of the PC to 192.168.0.x (“x” is any value between 1-253), and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, so that it is in the same network segment with the switch IP address. If DHCP is used, this step could be skipped.
3. Type the switch’s default management IP address http://<gwn7806(P)_IP> in the browser, and enter the username and password to log in. (The default administrator username is “admin” and the default random password can be found at the sticker on the GWN7806(P) switch).

Login using the Console port

1. Use the console cable to connect the console port of the switch and the serial port of the PC.
2. Open the terminal emulation program of the PC (e.g. SecureCRT), and enter the default username and password to log in. (The default administrator username is “admin” and the default random password can be found on the sticker on the GWN7806(P) switch).

Login Remotely using SSH/Telnet

1. Enter “cmd” in PC/Start.
2. Enter ssh <gwn7806(P)_IP> in the cmd window.
3. Enter the default username and password to log in. (The default administrator username is “admin” and the default random password can be found on the sticker on the GWN7806(P) switch).

Configure using GWN.Cloud

Type https://www.gwn.cloud in the browser, and enter the account and password to log in to the cloud platform. If you don’t have an account, please register first or ask the administrator to assign one for you.
