Quick Installation Guide

IntraSwitch 5324MT

After the IntraSwitch 5324MT is connected to the network and is powered on, you can

configure it for management capabilities, as described in the “Installation” chapter of the

IntraSwitch 5324 User’s Manual.

All other procedures involved in the management and monitoring of the IntraSwitch

5324MT are identical to those for the IntraSwitch 5324 with RJ-45 connectors. Refer to

your IntraSwitch 5324 User’s Manual for details.

1.Make sure the IntraSwitch 5324MT is not powered on.

2.Pull the loose ends of the two velcro straps away from the port interfaces on

the front of the IntraSwitch 5324MT.

3.Press each connector into place carefully, making sure you do not bend any of the

connector pins.

4.Depending on whether you a have “T” type connector or a right-angle connector

on your cable, you will need to follow one or the other of the following methods

to secure the connector in place.

Attaching “T” Type Connectors to the 5324MT

If you have “T” type connectors on your cables, screw in the screws provided with them,

or use the wing brackets attached to the 5324MT to secure the connectors, as shown

in the illustration on the top left.

Overview

The Asanté IntraSwitch 5324MT is a high-performance, manageable Ethernet switch

that offers 24 10Base-T ports, one 10/100TX port, and two optional Media Independent

Interface (MII) expansion slots. the 5324MT is a special version of the IntraSwitch 5324

designed to accomodate RJ-21 (also known as 50 pin Telco) connectors. In all other

aspects than the connectors, the 5324MT is identical to the IntraSwitch 5324. Refer to

the IntraSwitch 5324 User’s Manual for all procedures and system requirements.

The only difference between the 5324MT and the standard 5324 IntraSwitch is in the

design of the port connections. Instead of having to attach 24 separate push-in RJ-45

connectors, you only need to attach two 50 pin connectors.

3 Management and Monitoring Capabilities

▲ Skip this step if you plan to use the IntraSwitch as an unmanaged switch.

To use the IntraSwitch 5324MT as a managed switch, it must be configured with

an IP address. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:

• automatically using BootP (default)

• manually via the Console port

BootP Configuration

The IntraSwitch 5324MT is shipped with BootP support. BootP allows the switch to be

automatically configured with an IP address when the switch is connected to the network

and is powered on, if your network contains a BootP server configured with available,

valid IP addresses.

1. Make sure your network has a BootP server configured with a valid IP address

entry for the IntraSwitch 5324MT.

2. When the IntraSwitch is connected to the network and is powered on,

it automatically transmits a BootP request across the network (up to 10 times)

until it receives a valid IP address from the BootP server.

3. After an IP address is received, the switch can be managed via in-band access.

Refer to Chapter 4 of the User’s Manual for more information.

If an IP address is NOT received, the switch will need to be manually configured

with an IP address via the Console port. See “Console Configuration” on back.

3a Configure for Management

2A MII ports Cabling Procedures

The two RJ-21 10Base-T ports and one 10/100 port each have an MDI (media dependent

interface), the IEEE 10Base-T standard for unshielded twisted-pair cable) interface.

The 10/100 port and 10 switched put are cabled for straight through connection

to the client workstation.

The optional MII expansion slots allow for the connection of 10/100TX, 100Base-FX,

or 10Base-FL (fiber) ports.

To connect a 10/100TX module to a network station:

• Use a Category 5 UTP cross-over cable with RJ-45 connectors.

To connect a 10/100TX module to a repeater/hub:

• Use a Category 5 UTP straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors.

To connect a 10/100TX module to a repeater/hub’s uplink port:

• Use a Category 5 UTP cross-over cable with RJ-45 connectors.

To connect a 100Base-FX module to a repeater/hub or to a network station:

• Use a dual 62.5/125 micron graded–index multimode fiber-optic cable fitted

with a dual SC connector.

To connect a 10Base-FL module to a repeater/hub or to a network station:

• Use a dual 62.5/125 micron graded–index multimode fiber-optic cable fitted

with a dual ST connector.

Attaching Right-angle Connectors to the 5324MT

If you have one “T” type and one right-angle connector, attach the “T” connector to

the left socket and the right-angle connector to the right socket.
