The switch support authentication key feature for the management function.  This will 
prevent unauthorized users from changing the switch’s settings.

Software Guide”. 
 
 
 

 
In-Band and Out-of-Band managements are the two distinct methods for switch management.   
 
In-Band management that includes WinSmart, Web, Telnet, and SNMP allows users to configure 
the switch through the Ethernet network.   
 
Out-of-Band management means managing the switch outside of the switch’s Ethernet network.  
Console Port management is the most common type of out-of-band management.  Out-of-Band 
management requires the switch to be physically attached to a computer through a RS-232, USB, or 
Parallel port.  
 
The ECOM-ES24F2G is equipped with WinSmart In-band management.  It uses the unique RRCP 
protocol that enables the included Windows utility to manage the switch inside the LAN.  However; 
since it does not use IP protocol, it cannot be managed remotely from the Internet.    
 
 
 

 

 
What is VLAN? Since VLAN solutions and implementations are still very vendor-specific, to define 
precisely what VLANs will certainly arouse controversy. Nevertheless, most would agree that a 
VLAN can roughly be equated as a broadcast domain. More specifically, VLANs can be seen as a 
group of end stations, perhaps on multiple physical LAN segments, which are not constrained by 
their physical location and can communicate as if they were on a common LAN. 
 
There are several ways to define VLAN membership: port grouping, frame tagging, MAC-layer 
grouping, network-layer grouping, IP multicast grouping, etc. ECOM-ES24F2G utilizes 
port-grouping (port-based VLAN) for the implementation of VLAN in your network.
