QUICK INSTALLATION
Before you can start configuring your switch, you’ll need to install it in a safe, stable location, then connect it to a
network and/or connect your computer to the switch to configure it. If your Luxul switch is already installed, and
connected to the network, and you can access it from your computer, you can skip ahead to the next section titled
QUICK SETUP: SYSTEM.
1
Physical Installation
Luxul AMS- and XMS- series switches should be rack-mounted. Install the switch in a stable/safe rack to avoid any possi-
ble damage. Make sure there is adequate space around the switch for adequate ventilation and proper heat dissipation.
Avoid placement in direct sunlight, do not place heavy articles on the switch and verify that the outlet’s ground connec-
tion is functioning properly.
Rack Installation
Use the included L brackets for convenient installation in a 19-inch server or audio rack. Use four screws to attach the
L-shaped brackets on either sides of the switch, and horizontally insert the switch into a free space within the rack. Use
your desired hardware to affix the switch supports to the rack.

Connecting Ethernet and Power
Ethernet and Power Connections
Use any RJ-45 cable to connect the switch to an Ethernet-enabled device , including servers, routers and other switches.
No crossover cable is necessary.
The AMS- and XMS- series switches support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet; 10/100 Mbps half/full-duplex mode and 1000
Mbps full-duplex mode. All RJ-45 ports support Auto MDI/MDIX and can be used as ordinary ports or as Uplink ports.
The rear panel features an AC input socket and power switch. Use the included power cable to connect the switch to a
surge-protected outlet.
Network Cabling
For the RJ-45 ports, Luxul recommends Category-5, super Category-5 or Category-6 unshielded twisted pair (CAT5/
CAT5e/CAT6 UTP). To ensure best performance and stable data transmission at 1000 Mbps, use Category-6 shielded
twisted pair. Optical fiber/cable should be selected based on the wavelength of the SFP optical module to be used.
c CAUTION: Multiple Uplink channels can create loops, resulting in network failure. Ensure only one Uplink channel exists
between switches or between the XMS-1010P and a router.
n NOTE: When powering up, the port LEDs corresponding to the optical interface may take a moment to initialize. This is
normal as the switch initialization and startup completes.
n NOTE: For optimal switch performance, do not exceed the combined consumption budget for all external PoE devices
connected to a PoE switch: 130w for AMS-1208P, 250w for AMS-2616P and 370w for AMS-2624P and XMS-2624P.

Preparing for Access
IP Addressing
If the Luxul managed switch is connected to a network with a 192.168.0.X address scheme, and your computer shares a
similar address on the same network, you can skip to the next step, Access and Setup
.
n NOTE: If another device on your network shares the 192.168.0.4 (or 192.168.0.3) address, you’ll need to temporarily reassign or
remove that device while you configure the switch.
