Do you have a question about the Luxul XMS-1208P and is the answer not in the manual?
The Luxul XMS-1208P is a 12-Port/8 PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch designed for robust network installations, offering both physical and logical setup options. This Quick Install Guide provides essential information for deploying and managing the switch effectively.
The XMS-1208P is a managed network switch that provides 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports, with 8 of these ports supporting Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). This allows for both data and power transmission over a single Ethernet cable to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, simplifying network infrastructure and reducing cabling requirements. The "managed" aspect means the switch offers advanced configuration and monitoring capabilities, allowing network administrators to optimize performance, enhance security, and troubleshoot issues. It supports standard Ethernet speeds and full-duplex operation, ensuring high-speed data transfer. The inclusion of SFP ports provides flexibility for fiber optic connections, extending network reach and supporting high-bandwidth uplinks.
The XMS-1208P can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack using the included rack mount kit. Two mounting ears are provided for stability. The LEDs should face outwards when mounted. For desktop use, rubber feet are included to be applied to the bottom of the switch.
The switch connects to Ethernet-enabled devices (servers, routers, other switches) using standard Ethernet cables. No crossover cable is necessary. The included power cable connects the switch to a surge-protected outlet.
The switch is configured to a network with a 192.168.0.X address scheme. If your network uses a different address scheme, you will need to set a temporary static IP address on your computer to configure the switch. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.3, and the default Gateway/Router address is 192.168.0.3. Luxul provides an IP addressing guide at luxul.com/ip-addressing for more information.
To access the web configuration interface, open a web browser and enter the switch's default IP address (192.168.0.3) in the address field. Log in using the default username "admin" and password "admin".
The front panel includes one console port, 10 Gigabit RJ-45 ports, and 2 Gigabit SFP ports. LED status indicators are present for each port, displaying Link/Activity and PoE modes. A Mode/Reset button allows switching between LED displays and performing reset/restore functions.
The XMS-1208P features System, Link/Act, and PoE LEDs for each port, providing visual feedback on the switch's operational status and port connections.
Tapping the Mode/Reset button briefly toggles the port indicators between displaying port link speed and PoE status.
The Reset button on the front panel is used for rebooting the switch or restoring factory default settings.
Luxul recommends using at least Cat-5e unshielded twisted pair (CAT5e UTP) cabling for optimal performance and stable data transmission at 1000 Mbps. For fiber optic connections, SFP modules are required to extend the network beyond 300 feet. Multiple Uplink channels can create loops, resulting in network failure. Ensure only one Uplink channel exists between switches or between the XMS-1208P and a router.
