5. INSTALLING SFP+ TRANSCEIVERS
The GigaCore 20t and GigaCore 18t are equiped with SFP+ cages at the rear of the unit.
Use with IEC 60825-1 Certified SFP+ tranceivers only.

1Insert the transceiver entirely into the SFP+ cage gently applying justenough pressure until the module locks in place with an audible “click”.
Once properly engaged, the transceiver can’t be removed unless thedelatch mechanism is engaged.

Be aware of the insertion direction:
Top ports must have the delatch lever on the top.
Bottom ports must have the SFP+ transceiver inserted upside-down (delatch leveron bottom).

For any other model of SFP+ transceiver, please refer to the transceiver manual.
For recommended transceivers please visit our website at: www.luminex.be6. CONNECTING TO THE WEB INTERFACE The default GigaCore IP address is displayed on the e-ink display and at the rear 		of the unit. Set your computer with a compliant IP address (do not use the same 		IP address!).
 Connect your computer to the GigaCore with a network cable.
 Launch your favourite web browser.
 Type the IP address of the switch in the address field followed by enter.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE WEB INTERFACE OF A SWITCH CAN ONLY BEREACHED THROUGH A PORT ASSIGNED IN THE MANAGEMENT GROUP (FROMTHE SWITCH YOU’RE CONNECTED TO, OR FROM ANOTHER SWITCH THROUGHAN ISL PORT). YOU NEED AT LEAST ONE PORT ASSIGNED TO THE MANAGEMENTGROUP IN YOUR ENTIRE NETWORK TO REACH THE WEB INTERFACE OF ALLYOUR GIGACORE SWITCHESBY FACTORY DEFAULT, ALL PORTS ARE ASSIGNED TO THE MANAGEMENTGROUP.

7. RESETSometimes it can come in handy to reset the device. To do this, press and holdthe mode button for 10 seconds. Once the four status LEDs blink red, release thebutton. This will reset all settings to default. The user profiles will be preservedthough.
