nectors automatically detect the available data transfer speeds and the
pin assignment (autosensing).
Use only standard TP cables of category CAT 5 or better with a maxi-
I
mum length of 100 m to ensure the best possible transfer of data.
Cross-over cables can be used thanks to the auto-sensing function.
If optical connections are to be used, additional modules are necces-
I
sary which can be purchased as accessories.
Supply power and switch on – Supply power to the device by means of the
IEC power cable.
Ready for operation? – After a brief self-test, the power LED (LANCOM
GS-2326 / LANCOM GS-2326P) or system LED (LANCOM GS-2352 / LAN-
COM GS-2352P) lights up continuously. Green ink/Act LEDs show which
LAN connectors are being used for a connection.

Configuration options

There are two different methods of configuring the device:
By means of a graphical user interface or via a browser (WEBconfig). This
option is only available if you have network access to the device's IP
address from your computer. The computers require an operating system
that supports TCP/IP, e.g. Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista™,
Windows XP, Linux, BSD Unix, Apple Mac OS and also access to the LAN
via the TCP/IP protocol.
Text-orientated configuration via a console (Command Line Interface –
CLI): This method of configuration, which requires a program such as SSH,
Telnet, Hyperterminal, or similar, can be conducted over a network con-
nection or with a direct connection via serial interface (RS-232).
When working with Windows, you can use the LANtools to detect and monitor
the LANCOM switch.
LANconfig is the Windows configuration program for all LANCOM
devices. LANconfig searches for all LANCOM devices in your network. You
can use this to start the Web-based configuration of a LANCOM switch.
