How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 4-Port Managed Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch

• Plan your network layout: Identify devices to connect via copper ports and determine uplink paths to the core network using the GbE SFP slots for fiber or copper transceivers.
• Mount on a DIN rail: Secure the switch firmly into your enclosure or panel using standard DIN rail mounting hardware, ensuring an unobstructed airflow path for cooling.
• Connect copper devices: Use Cat5e/6 cables to connect servers, controllers, and other devices to the four copper ports, verifying link lights and port status LEDs.
• Configure GbE uplinks: Install appropriate SFP modules in the two GbE slots if you plan to connect to distant switches or fiber networks; connect the uplinks with the corresponding fiber or copper cables.
• Apply initial network settings: Access the switch management interface via its IP address, assign VLANs for segmentation, set QoS policies for critical traffic, and enable SNMP for remote monitoring.
• Verify operation and redundancy: Test connectivity between endpoints, validate VLAN tagging and QoS behavior, and confirm that uplinks provide the expected bandwidth and failover paths if available.
