Use the web configurator if you are having problems with accessing the NCC. Use this to change the IP
address, VLAN, and port settings, perform ping or traceroute, or download log files to diagnose the
problem.
The factory default IP address is DHCP Client. To find the DHCP-assigned IP address, you must use the
ZON utility or the console port if your model has a console port (see Table 1 on page 8).
Figure 1 NCC Management Example
You can check the system settings via the Web Configurator, the ZON (Zyxel One Network) utility and
the console port.
1.3 Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the NSW in various network environments.
1.3.1 Backbone Application
The NSW is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future.
The NSW can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and
servers directly to the NSW’s port or connect other switches to the NSW.
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network,
simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers etc.
Chapter 1 Introduction
NSW Series User’s Guide
10
Figure 2 Backbone Application
1.3.2 Bridging Example
In this example, the NSW connects different company departments (RD and Sales) to the corporate
backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All
users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the NSW. You can
provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet/mini-GBIC port on the NSW.
Moreover, the NSW eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize
multiple servers at a single location.
Figure 3 Bridging Application
Chapter 1 Introduction
NSW Series User’s Guide
11
1.3.3 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Examples
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical
networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one group. A station can belong to more than one
group. With VLAN, a station cannot directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same group(s)
unless such traffic first goes through a router.
For more information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 7 on page 40.
1.3.3.1 Tag-based VLAN Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain thus increase network
performance through reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding,
moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.
Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In the
following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports can belong to
other VLAN groups too.
Figure 4 Shared Server Using VLAN Example
1.4 Ways to Manage the NSW
Use any of the following methods to manage the NSW.
• NCC. With the NCC, you can remotely manage and monitor the NSW through a cloud-based
network management system. See the NCC User’s Guide for detailed information about how to
access the NCC and manage your NSW via the NCC.
• Web Configurator. Use this to troubleshoot the NSW if it cannot connect to the NCC. Manage some
basic NSW settings using a (supported) web browser. See Chapter 4 on page 28.
• FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades. See Section 8.5.1 on page 51.
Chapter 1 Introduction
NSW Series User’s Guide
12
1.5 Good Habits for Managing the NSW
Do the following things to make the NSW more secure and to manage the NSW more effectively.
• Change the NSW’s password through the NCC occasionally. Use a password that’s not easy to guess
and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

CHAPTER 2
Hardware Installation and
Connection
2.1 Installation Scenarios
This chapter shows you how to install and connect the NSW.
The NSW can be placed on a desktop or rack-mounted on a standard EIA rack. Use the rubber feet in a
desktop installation and the brackets in a rack-mounted installation.
Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front and 3.4
inches (8 cm) at the back of the NSW. This is especially important for enclosed rack
installations.
2.2 Desktop Installation Procedure
1Make sure the NSW is clean and dry.
2Set the NSW on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the NSW and the
connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.
3Make sure there is enough clearance around the NSW to allow air circulation and the attachment of
cables and the power cord.
4Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
5Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the NSW. These rubber feet help protect the
NSW from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.
Note: Do NOT block the ventilation holes.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection
NSW Series User’s Guide
14
Figure 5 Attaching Rubber Feet
2.3 Mounting the NSW on a Rack
The NSW can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other
equipment.
Follow the steps below to mount your NSW on a standard EIA rack using a rack-mounting kit.
2.3.1 Rack-mounted Installation Requirements
• Two mounting brackets.
• Eight M3 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
• Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.
2.3.1.1 Precautions
• Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains.
• Make sure the position of the NSW does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all necessary
precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.
2.3.2 Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the NSW
1Position a mounting bracket on one side of the NSW, lining up the four screw holes on the bracket with
the screw holes on the side of the NSW.

the rack.
3Repeat steps 1 and 2 to attach the second mounting bracket on the other side of the rack.
Note: Make sure you tighten all the four screws to prevent the NSW from getting slanted.
2.4 Wall Mounting (NSW100-10 only)
The next table summarizes wall mounting specifications.
Do the following to attach your NSW to a wall.
Insecure mounting may damage the device or cause injury. ZyXEL is
not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wall-mounting.

1Screw the two screws provided with your NSW into the wall 135 mm apart (see Figure 10 on page 17).
See Figure 11 on page 18 for the size of screws to use.
Do not screw the screws all the way in to the wall; leave a small gap between the head of the screw
and the wall.
The gap must be big enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots and the connection cables
to run down the back of the NSW.
Note: Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold the
weight of the NSW with the connection cables.
2Align the holes on the back of the NSW with the screws on the wall. Hang the NSW on the screws.
Figure 10 Wall-mounting Example
The NSW should be wall-mounted horizontally. The NSW's side panels
with ventilation slots should not be facing up or down as this position is
less safe.
The following are dimensions of a self-tapping screw and masonry plug used for wall mounting. All
measurements are in millimeters (mm).

CHAPTER 3
Hardware Panels
This chapter describes the front panel and rear panel of the Switch and shows you how to make the
hardware connections.
See Table 1 on page 8, for detailed information about port features of the NSW Series.
3.1 Front Panel
The following figures show the front panels of the NSW.
Figure 12 Front Panel: NSW100-10P
Figure 13 Front Panel: NSW100-10
Figure 14 Front Panel: NSW100-28P
Figure 15 Front Panel: NSW100-28
Figure 16 Front Panel: NSW200-28P
3.1.1 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
See Table 1 on page 8, for detailed information about port features of the NSW Series.
The NSW has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet, the speed can be 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The duplex mode can be half duplex or
full duplex.
Chapter 3 Hardware Panels
NSW Series User’s Guide
20
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps)
and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover
Ethernet cable.
When auto-negotiation is turned on, an Ethernet port negotiates with the peer automatically to
determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-
negotiation or turns off this feature, the NSW determines the connection speed by detecting the signal
on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the NSW’s auto-negotiation is turned off, an Ethernet
port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to
make sure that the settings of the peer Ethernet port are the same in order to connect.
3.1.1.1 Default Ethernet Negotiation Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Gigabit ports on the NSW are:
• Speed: Auto
•Duplex: Auto
• Flow control: Off
• Link Aggregation: Disabled
3.1.1.2 Auto-crossover
All ports are auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports (Media Dependent Interface Crossover), so you may
use either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet cable for all Gigabit port connections.
Auto-crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to function as crossover or straight ports, so
crossover cables can connect both computers and switches/hubs.
3.1.2 PoE
The NSW supports both the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet
(PoE) plus standards. The NSW is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) because it provides a source of
power via its Ethernet ports. Each device that receives power through an Ethernet port is a Powered
Device (PD).
See Table 1 on page 8 for detailed information about PoE maximum power of each model.
3.1.3 Combo Port
A combo port is for uplink connections. It consists of a Gigabit Ethernet port for Ethernet connection,
and a transceiver slot for fiber connection. The fiber connection takes priority if the corresponding
Gigabit port is also connected.
• 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ports - Connect these ports to high-bandwidth backbone network
Ethernet switches using 1000BASE-T compatible Category 5/5e/6 copper cables.
• Transceiver Slots - Use SFP in these slots for connections to backbone Ethernet switches.
Chapter 3 Hardware Panels
NSW Series User’s Guide
21
Figure 17 Combo Port Example: Gigabit Port and Transceiver Slot
3.1.4 Transceiver Slots
See Section 3.1.3 on page 20, for more information about combo ports.
The transceiver slots are for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP), SFP+ transceivers or DAC cable. The SFP+
(SFP Plus) and the DAC cable are enhanced versions of the SFP and support data rates of up to 10
Gbps. A transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver or a DAC
cable to connect a fiber-optic cable to the NSW. The NSW does not come with transceivers nor DAC
cables. You must use transceivers or DAC cables that comply with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for
details.
You can change transceivers or the DAC cables while the NSW is operating. You can use different
transceivers to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
• Type: SFP connection interface
Connection speed: 100/1000 Megabit per second (Mbps)
• Type: SFP+/DAC connection interface
Connection speed: 1 or 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic
module’s connectors.
3.1.4.1 Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install a mini-GBIC transceiver (SFP module).
1Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.
2Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.
3The NSW automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is functioning
properly.
4Close the transceiver’s latch (latch styles vary).
5Connect the fiber optic cables to the transceiver.

Note: Make sure you are using the correct power source as shown on the panel.
To connect power to the NSW, insert the female end of the power cord to the AC power receptacle on
the rear panel. Connect the other end of the supplied power cord to a power outlet. Make sure that no
objects obstruct the airflow of the fans (located on the side of the unit).
See Chapter 10 on page 55 for information on the NSW’s power supply requirements.
3.2.2 Kensington Lock
The NSW200-28P comes with a Kensington Lock to secure your device. The Kensington lock is the small,
metal-reinforced, oval hole beside a padlock icon with a letter “K”.
Attach a lock-and-cable from the Kensington lock to a permanent object, such as a pole, to secure the
Zyxel Device in place and prevent theft.
Chapter 3 Hardware Panels
NSW Series User’s Guide

3.2.3 Grounding (NSW200-28P)
Grounding is a safety measure to have unused electricity return to the ground. It prevents damage to
the NSW and protects you from electrocution.
1Remove the M4 ground screw from the NSW’s rear panel.
2Secure a green/yellow ground cable (16AWG or smaller) to the NSW’s rear panel using the M4 ground
screw.
3Attach the other end of the cable to the ground, either to the same ground electrode as the rack you
installed the device on or to the main grounding electrode of the building.
Follow your country’s regulations and safety instructions to electrically ground the device properly.
If you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available, contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician.
Note: Qualified service personnel must confirm that the building’s protective earthing
terminal is a valid terminal.
Warning! Connect the ground cable before you connect any other
cable or wiring.
3.3 LEDs
After you connect the power to the NSW, view the LEDs to ensure proper functioning of the NSW and as
an aid in troubleshooting.
Note: Please refer to Nebula Device Startup LED Guide, for more information about the
system and locator LEDs when they light up at the same time.

CHAPTER 4
The Web Configurator
4.1 Overview
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the web configurator. If the NSW cannot
connect to the NCC, use the web configurator to manage some basic settings to allow it to reconnect
with the NCC.
Note: Once the device reconnects to the NCC, the NCC will send a configuration file to the
NSW and overwrite any changes made through the web configurator.
Most screens are based on NSW100-10P.
The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy NSW setup and
management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 9.0 and later versions, Mozilla Firefox 21 and
later versions, Safari 6.0 and later versions or Google Chrome 26.0 and later versions. The recommended
screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in
Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
4.2 System Login
1Start your web browser.
2The NSW is a DHCP client by default. Type “http://DHCP-assigned IP” in the Location or Address field.
Press [ENTER]. If the NSW cannot connect to the DHCP server, the address will be “http://192.168.1.1”.
If the NSW is configured to use a static IP, type “http://” and the static IP address of the NSW in the
Location or Address field. Press [ENTER]. Your computer must be in the same subnet in order to access
this website address.

Type This field displays the capacity that the port can support.
Speed/Duplex Select the speed and the duplex mode of the Ethernet connection on this port. Choices are
Auto-1000M, 10M/Half Duplex , 10M/Full Duplex, 100M/Half Duplex, 100M/Full Duplex and 1000M/
Full Duplex (Gigabit connections only). 10G port choices are Auto-1000M, 1000M/Full Duplex and
10G/Full Duplex.
Selecting Auto-1000M (auto-negotiation) allows one port to negotiate with a peer port
automatically to obtain the connection speed (of up to 1000M) and duplex mode that both ends
support. When auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the NSW negotiates with the peer
automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer port does not
support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the NSW determines the connection speed by
detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the NSW’s auto-negotiation
is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection,
thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer port are the same in order to
connect.
802.1p Priority This priority value is added to incoming frames without a (802.1p) priority queue tag.
The following descriptions are based on the traffic types defined in the IEEE 802.1d standard
(which incorporates the 802.1p).
• Level 7: Typically used for network control traffic such as router configuration messages.
• Level 6: Typically used for voice traffic that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter is the variations
in delay).
• Level 5: Typically used for video that consumes high bandwidth and is sensitive to jitter.
• Level 4: Typically used for controlled load, latency-sensitive traffic such as SNA (Systems
Network Architecture) transactions.
• Level 3: Typically used for “excellent effort” or better than best effort and would include
important business traffic that can tolerate some delay.
• Level 2: This is for “spare bandwidth”.
• Level 1: This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk transfers that
are allowed but that should not affect other applications and users.
• Level 0: Typically used for best-effort traffic.
Media Type
(NSW200-28P
only)
You can insert either an SFP+ transceiver or an SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable into the
10 Gigabit interface of the NSW. An SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) is an SFP+ housing that has
no optical module but uses a fixed-length passive copper cable assembly, which reduces cost
and power significantly.

8.5 Technical Reference
This section provides technical background information on the topics discussed in this chapter.
8.5.1 FTP Command Line
This section shows some examples of uploading to or downloading files from the NSW using FTP
commands. First, understand the filename conventions.
8.5.2 Filename Conventions
The configuration file (also known as the romfile or ROM) contains the factory default settings in the
screens such as password, NSW setup, IP Setup, and so on. Once you have customized the NSW’s
settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a filename of your choosing.
ZyNOS (Zyxel Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the “ras” file) is the system firmware
and has a “bin” filename extension.
8.5.2.1 Example FTP Commands
ftp> put firmware.bin ras
This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file "firmware.bin" to the NSW.
ftp> get config config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called “config.cfg” on your
computer.
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source, you will
need to rename them as the NSW only recognizes “config” and “ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered
copies of both files for later use.
Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong
model firmware may damage your device.
8.5.3 FTP Command Line Procedure
1Launch the FTP client on your computer.
2Enter open, followed by a space and the IP address of your NSW.
Table 18 Filename Conventions
FILE TYPE INTERNAL NAME EXTERNAL NAME DESCRIPTION
Configuration File config *.cfg This is the configuration filename on the NSW.
Uploading the config file replaces the specified
configuration file system, including your NSW
configurations, system-related data (including
the default password), the error log and the
trace log.
Firmware ras *.bin This is the generic name for the ZyNOS firmware
on the NSW.
Chapter 8 Maintenance
NSW Series User’s Guide
52
3Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.
4Enter your password as requested (the default is “assigned by the NCC” when the NSW is registered with
the NCC or “1234”).
5Enter bin to set transfer mode to binary.
6Use put to transfer files from the computer to the NSW, for example, put firmware.bin ras transfers
the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the NSW and renames it to “ras”. Similarly, put
config.cfg config transfers the configuration file on your computer (config.cfg) to the NSW and
renames it to “config”. Likewise get config config.cfg transfers the configuration file on the NSW to
your computer and renames it to “config.cfg”. See Table 18 on page 51 for more information on
filename conventions.
7Enter quit to exit the ftp prompt.
8.5.4 GUI-based FTP Clients
The following table describes some of the commands that you may see in GUI-based FTP clients.
General Commands for GUI-based FTP Clients
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
Host Address Enter the address of the host server.
Login Type Anonymous.
This is when a user I.D. and password is automatically supplied to the server for

TTL Enter the Time To Live (TTL) value for the ICMP Echo Request packets. This is to set the
maximum number of the hops (routers) a packet can travel through. Each router along the
path will decrement the TTL value by one and forward the packets. When the TTL value
becomes zero and the destination is not found, the router drops the packets and informs the
sender.
Wait Time Specify how many seconds the NSW waits for a response to a probe before running another
traceroute.
Queries Specify how many times the NSW performs the traceroute function.
IP Address/Host
Name Enter the IP address or host name of a device to which you want to perform a traceroute.
