DWS-1008 Install Guide Installation Overview

Caution: To reduce the risk of equipment damage, make sure the switch

is installed so that the mechanical load on the device is evenly distributed.

For example, make sure the switch is level in the equipment rack, is evenly

fastened by screws on either side, and does not have a heavy object resting

on one side of the switch.

Mounting Option Required Hardware and Tools Included

Front-mount Mounting brackets Yes

Four rack-mount screws No*

Screwdriver No

Power cord Yes

Serial console cable Yes

Tabletop Four adhesive rubber feet Yes

Power cord Yes

Serial console cable Yes

* Equipment racks vary, and the screw and screwdriver type depend on the

equipment rack.

You can mount the DWS-1008 switch in a standard 48.26-cm (19-inch)

equipment rack or on a tabletop. Each switch is shipped with two brackets

for rack mounting and four adhesive rubber feet for tabletop mounting. The

mounting brackets support front mounting only.

Warning: Earth grounding is required for a DWS-1008 switch installed in a

rack. If you are relying on the rack to provide ground, the rack itself must be

grounded with a ground strap to the earth ground. Metal screws attaching the

switch to the rack provide ground attachment to the rack.

In the U.S., overcurrent protection must be provided by the installation. Branch

circuit protection in accordance with National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA) 70, National Electrical Code (NEC) is required. Consideration must be

given to the electrical ratings on the switch and branch circuit protection. Do

not install equipment such that the branch circuit current and voltage protection

is exceeded. Pay particular attention to the earthing connection for the supply

connections. When using an extension cord or power strip, pay attention to the

grounding type.

DWS-1008 Install GuideGetting Started

Please read the following before you begin:

Mobility System Software* (MSS) operates a D-Link Mobility System Wireless

LAN (WLAN) consisting of DWS-1008 switches, and DWL-8220AP access

points (AP). MSS has a command-line interface (CLI) on the switch that you

can use to conﬁ gure and manage the switch and its attached access points.

You conﬁ gure the DWS-1008 switch and DWL-8220AP access points

primarily with set, clear, and show commands. Use set commands to change

parameters. Use clear commands to reset parameters to their defaults. In

many cases, you can overwrite a parameter with another set command. Use

show commands to display the current conﬁ guration and monitor the status of

network operations.

* The Mobility System Software is built-in to the ﬁ rmware on the DWS-1008 switch. No additional

software is required.

The switch supports two connection modes:

• Administrative access mode, which enables the network

administrator to connect to the switch and conﬁ gure the network.

• Network access mode, which enables network users to connect

through the switch to access the network.

The D-Link Mobility System consists of the following components:

• One or more DWS-1008 switches - Distributed, intelligent

machines for managing user connectivity, connecting and powering

DWL-8220AP access points, and connecting the WLAN to the wired

network backbone.

• DWL-8220AP access points - Wireless access points (APs) that

transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals to and from

wireless users and connect them to a DWS-1008 switch.

• Mobility System Software™ (MSS™) - The operating system

(ﬁ rmware) that runs all D-Link DWS-1008 switches and DWL-8220

access points in a WLAN, and is accessible through a command-line

interface (CLI).

DWS-1008 Install Guide Getting Started

Equipment Rack Installation

1. Remove the four bracket screws from each side of the switch.

2. Align a bracket over the screw holes:

• For a front-mount equipment rack, align tthe bracket so that the

bracket ﬂ ange is ﬂ ush with the switch’s front panel and extends

away from the switch.

• For a center-mount equipment rack, align the bracket so that the

bracket ﬂ ange is located near the center screw holes.

3. Reinsert the screws to secure the brackets to the switch.

4. Repeat for the other bracket.

5. Lift the switch into position in the equipment rack.

6. Insert the bottom rack-mount screws into the bracket ﬂ anges to secure the

switch to the equipment rack, then insert the top screws.

Warning: To prevent the switch from slipping, do not release the switch until

all the rack-mount screws are tight.

Tabletop Installation

1. On a clean work surface with no debris, carefully turn the switch upside

down.

2. Wipe the four placement locations for the rubber feet to clear away any oil

or dust. The location areas are marked by X’s and attach the four rubber

adhesive feet over the X’s.

3. Turn the switch right-side up, and place the switch in position on the table.

Powering On a DWS-1008 Switch

Warning: The switch relies on the building’s installation for overcurrent

protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15 A

U.S. (240 VAC, 10 A international) is used on the phase conductors.

1. Make sure any insertable power supply is fully seated in the switch. Attach

a power cord to an AC power source.

2. Plug the power cord into the power supply. The switch will begin booting

as soon as you plug in the power cord(s).

3. Observe the power supply LED for each connected power supply to

verify that the LED is steadily glowing green. This indicates normal power

supply operation.

Connecting to a Serial Management Console

Initial conﬁ guration of the DWS-1008 switch requires a connection to the

switch’s CLI through the serial console port.

To connect a PC to the serial console port:

1. Insert the serial cable into the PC port.

2. Insert the other end of the cable into the serial console port on the switch.

3. Start a standard VT100 terminal emulation application on the PC, and

conﬁ gure the following modem settings:

• 9600 bps

• 8 bits

• 1 stop

• No parity

• Hardware ﬂ ow control off or disabled

4. Open a connection on a serial port. If the switch is already powered on, press

Enter three times to display a command prompt. Refer to the “Accessing

the CLI” for more information.

Troubleshooting a Serial Management

Connection

1. Verify that the switch is powered on.

2. Verify that the serial cable is fully inserted in the PC and switch’s console

ports.

3. Verify that the correct modem settings are conﬁ gured in the terminal

emulation application as shown in step 3 above.

4. Verify that you opened the connection on the PC port connected to the

switch. For example, if you inserted the cable in PC port COM1, make

sure you open the connection on COM1 instead of COM2 or another port.

If none of the previous steps results in a management connection, use

another serial cable.

Connecting to the Network

Use the following procedures to connect a DWS-1008 switch to DWL-8220AP

access points or other 10/100 Ethernet devices.

Connecting to a DWL-8220AP or Other 10/100 Ethernet Devices

Note: The 10/100 Ethernet ports are conﬁ gured as wired network ports by

default. You must change the port type for locally connected DWL-8220AP

access points, and for wired end stations that use AAA through the DWS-1008

switch to access the network.

For installations in Japan: Provide an earthing connection before you connect

the mains plug to the mains. When disconnecting the earthing connection,

make sure to disconnect only after you pull out the mains plug for the mains.

1. Insert a CAT5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector. The 10/100 Ethernet

ports on the DWS-1008 switch provide automatic MDI/MDX.

2. If the cable is directly attached to a DWL-8220AP access point:

• For a ﬁ rst-time installation, set the port type to activate the link.

• If the port type is already set for an access point, observe the

appearance of the MP LED for the port.

3. If the cable is attached to a wired end station that uses AAA through the

switch to access the network:

• For a ﬁ rst-time installation, set the port type to activate the link.

• If the port type is already set for a wired authentication port, go on

to step 4.

4. If the cable is directly attached to a device other than an DWL-8220AP

access point:

• Observe the appearance of the Link LED for the port.

• If the Link LED is unlit, check the cable and verify that the device at

the other end of the link is operating.
