Introduction

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

T1500-28TC/T1500-28PCT is compliant with the IEEE802.3 Ethernet protocols.

T1500-28TC/T1500-28PCT is equipped with powerful management interface, via

which system, port, network, VLAN and priority can be configured. They provide a

variety of service features and multiple powerful functions with high security. The

EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible

solutions for a variable scale of networks. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize

voice and video application. SNMP, RMON, WEB Log-in bring abundant management

policies.

T1500-28TC/T1500-28PCT integrates multiple functions with excellent performance,

and are friendly to manage, which can fully meet the need of the users demanding

higher networking performance.

T1500-28PCT Switch is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*). All the fast Ethernet

RJ45 ports on the switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE*) function, which can

automatically detect and supply power with those powered devices (PDs*) complying

with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.

*PSE: a device (switch or hub for instance) that provides power through an Ethernet

cable.

*PoE: This technology describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data,

to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet.

*PD: a device powered by a PSE and thus consumes energy. Examples include powering

network cameras, wireless LAN access points, IP telephones, network hubs, embedded

computers etc.

LEDs

T1500-28PCT has an LED mode switch button which is for switching the LED

status indication. When the Speed LED is on, the port LED is indicating the data

transmission status. When the PoE LED is on, the port LED is indicating the power

supply status. By default, the Speed LED is on. Pressing the mode switch button, the

Speed LED will turn off and the PoE LED will light up. Then the PoE LED will turn off

after being on for 60 seconds and the Speed LED will light up again.

When the Speed LED is on, the port LED is indicating the data transmission status.

2.2 Safety Precautions

To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, please observe

the following rules.

■Safety Precautions

■Keep the power off during the installation.

■Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap has a good skin

contact and is well grounded.

■Useonlythepowercordprovidedwiththeswitch.

■Make sure that the supply voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rear

panel of the switch.

■Ensure the vent hole is well ventilated and unblocked.

■Do not open or remove the cover of the switch.

■Before cleaning the device, cut off the power supply. Do not clean it by the waterish

cloth, and never use any other liquid cleaning method.

■Site Requirements

To ensure normal operation and long service life of the device, please install it in an

environment that meets the requirements described in the following subsection.

Installation

Temperature/Humidity

40℃

0℃

Please keep a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high/ low

humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes

and corrosions. Too high temperature may accelerate aging of the insulation materials

and can thus significantly shorten the service life of the device. For normal temperature

and humidity of the device, please check the following table.

Environment Temperature Humidity

Operating 0℃to 40℃10% to 90%RH Non-condensing

Storage -40℃to 70℃5% to 90%RH Non-condensing

Clearness

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, please attach much importance to the

following items:

■Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.

■Keep the device well grounded and ensure 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,

please 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, strong-current devices, such as radio

transmitting station.

■Useelectromagneticshieldingwhennecessary.
