(32 to 104º F) and a humidity range of 5 to 95% non-condensing.  
Has a reliable and earthed (grounded), preferably dedicated and filtered,  
power supply circuit.  
Does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise, such as radios,  
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and  
fluorescent fixtures.  
Allows easy access to the switch’s power and cable connections.

Installing the Switch  
All AC and DC versions of this equipment must be earthed.  
Follow these steps to install the switch:  
1. Before installing the switch, read the safety information  
For safety information, see the Safety and Statutory Information booklet. A  
copy of this booklet is supplied with each switch, and can also be found on  
support/rapier/.  
2. Gather the tools and equipment you will need  
If installing a DC version of the switch, you will need a DC power source,  
DC supply cable, and wire strippers (see step 8).  
If the switch is to be connected to a redundant power supply, you will need  
a redundant power supply unit and cable (see step 10).  
3. Choose a suitable site for the switch  
Either a flat surface or 19 inch rack.  
4. Unpack the switch  
Verify the package contents. If any items are damaged or missing, contact  
your sales representative.  
5. Install expansion options  
If you purchased optional Uplink Modules, a Network Service Module  
(NSM), or Port Interface Cards (PICs), install them now by following their  
individual installation guides. These guides can be found on the  
Documentation and Tools CD-ROM.  
Installation instructions for PACs can be found in the Rapier Switch  
Hardware Reference.  
6. Place the switch in its operating locations  
If installing the switch in a rack:  
Remove the rubber feet.  
Attach the rack-mounting brackets.  
Mount the switch in the rack.  
7. Apply AC power to the switch (for AC models)  
Plug the power cord into the AC power connector on the switch’s rear  
panel. The Fault LED should flash for approximately 10 seconds as the  
switch runs internal tests. If the LED continues to flash or remains lit, refer  
to the Rapier Switch Hardware Reference for troubleshooting information.

8. Apply DC power to the switch (for DC models)  
Read the Safety and Statutory Information booklet before connecting a DC  
power supply. A copy of this booklet is included with each switch. It is also  
included on the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM, or can be  
Only trained and qualified personnel should connect a DC power supply. Due  
to exposed terminals, DC powered switches should only be installed in  
Restricted Access Areas.  
DC supply cable specifications:  
Number of wires (cores): 3  
2
Minimum size: 2.1mm (14 AWG)  
Minimum cable rating: 600V, 90 degrees Celsius  
DC power supply specifications:  
48 V DC (39-60 V DC is acceptable)  
Either positive grounded or negative grounded  
Circuit protection:  
Use a 10 Amp circuit breaker  
To connect the DC supply:  
a) Ensure that the supply cable is not live  
b) Strip the supply cable wires to expose 8mm (0.31 in.) of bare conductor  
c) At the switch, connect the ground wire to the ground terminal (The  
terminals can be identified by the diagram on the switch’s rear panel,  
see Figure 2). Tighten the terminal to between 0.6 and 0.8 Nm (0.041 to  
0.055 pound-force per foot)

d) At the switch, connect the positive feed to the + (positive) terminal and  
the negative feed to the - (negative) terminal. Tighten the terminals to  
between 0.6 and 0.8 Nm (0.041 to 0.055 pound-force per foot)  
e) Ensure that there are no exposed conductor strands  
f) Secure the supply cable (to the rack framework or similar object) so that  
the connections are isolated from any forces applied to the cable  
g) Ensure that the circuit breaker is in the Off position  
h) Connect the supply-cable wires to the circuit breaker  
i) Energise the circuit breaker

The Fault LED should flash for approximately 10 seconds as the switch  
runs internal tests. If the LED continues to flash or remains lit, refer to the  
Rapier Switch Hardware Reference for troubleshooting information.  
9. Check that the Power LED on the switch’s front panel lights green  
If the LED fails to light, refer to the Rapier Switch Hardware Reference for  
troubleshooting information.  
10. Connect the Redundant Power Supply (Optional)  
AC models of Rapier Switches have a Redundant Power Supply (RPS)  
connector on their rear panel.  
The Switch is designed to operate with the AT-PWR8000 RPS, which can be  
purchased separately. Contact your authorised Allied Telesyn distributer  
or reseller for more information.  
11. Connect the data cables  
Make sure that each cable connection is secure. The switch will now  
perform basic Layer 2 switching functions.  
Configuring the switch  
Some configuration is necessary if you wish to enable the switch’s advanced  
switching capabilities. The switch can be configured via the Command Line  
Interface (CLI) or Graphical User Interface (GUI).  
Using the CLI to configure a switch  
1. Connect a terminal or PC to the Terminal Port (ASYN0)  
Using the supplied RS-232 DB9 straight-through cable, connect your  
terminal or PC to the RS-232 Terminal Port on the switch’s front panel.

2. Set the communication parameters  
Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation  
program to:  
Baud rate: 9600  
Data bits: 8  
Parity: None  
Stop bits: 1  
Flow control: Hardware  
3. Log in  
After the switch has booted, the log in prompt appears. If the log in prompt  
doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.  
When the switch boots for the first time it automatically creates an account  
with manager privileges. The account has the log in name “manager” and  
the password is “friend”.  
At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.  
Log in: manager  
Password: friend  
The switch’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the  
switch using the command line interface.  
Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with  
the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure that you remember  
the new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.  
Use the following command to change the account password:  
set password  
4. Load help files  
To access help, enter:  
set help=help-filename  
where help-filenameis the name of a help file stored in flash.  
To see a list of files stored in flash, enter:  
show file  
Help files have an HLP extension.  
To display a list of help topics, enter:  
help  
To display help on a specific topic, enter:  
help topic  
Alternatively, type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed  
command to see a list of valid options.  
See the Rapier Switch Software Reference for more information on  
configuring the switch.

Using the GUI to configure a switch  
The GUI can be accessed through the switch’s default VLAN (VLAN1). To  
set-up the GUI the first time it is used, you must first access the CLI.  
1. Access the CLI  
Follow the instructions in the previous section: “Using the CLI to configure  
2. Enable IP  
At the CLI, enter the command:  
ENABLE IP  
3. Assign an IP address to VLAN1  
Assign the VLAN1 interface an IP address in the required subnet, using the  
command:  
SET IP INTERFACE=vlan1 IP=ipaddress MASK=mask  
4. Define a route (if required)  
If the PC from which you will access the GUI is on a different subnet to the  
switch, add a route from the PC to the switch. Enter:  
ADD IP ROUTE=PC-ipaddress INTERFACE=vlan1  
NEXTHOP=switch-ipaddress  
5. Connect the PC to a switch port  
The PC can be connected directly, or through a LAN.  
The PC should be running Internet Explorer 5.x or Netscape 6.2, with  
JavaScript enabled. A copy of Internet Explorer can be found on the  
Documentation and Tools CD-ROM that is bundled with your switch.  
If you access the Internet through a proxy server, set your browser to  
bypass the proxy for the IP address you just assigned to the VLAN1  
interface.  
Point your web browser at the IP address of the VLAN interface.  
6. Log in  
At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.  
User Name: manager  
Password: friend  
The system status page appears and you can now use the GUI to configure  
the switch.  
To ensure that configuration settings are saved correctly, use the GUI pages’ menus and  
buttons to navigate, not your browser’s buttons.  
As a security precaution, change the password as soon as possible.  
To change the password, select Management > Users from the sidebar  
menu. Select the Manager account and click Modify.  
7. To access context-sensitive help  
Click on the GUI Assistant Button [?] on each page.
