Attaching the Rubber Feet to the XMS-1024
4.3 Network Connections:
The XMS-1024 supports 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. Any RJ-45 port can be
used to connect the XMS-1024 to an Ethernet enabled device (including servers,
routers, and other switches) without a crossover cable.

For the RJ-45 ports, Category-5, super Category-5 or Category-6 unshielded twisted
pair (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 UTP) should be used. For best results, it is recommended
that Category-6 shielded twisted pair be used to ensure stable data transmission at
1000 Mbps.

Make sure only one Uplink channel exists between switches or between the XMS-
1024
and a router. Otherwise, loops can occur and result in network failure.
4.4 Default IP Address
The XMS-1024 default IP address is 192.168.0.2. This address can be changed.
However, for hassle free installation of other XenConnect™ plug and play Luxul
devices, it is recommended that the default IP value be maintained.
