1. Product Specifications
AND-APL1Ex networking appliance product effectively handles Software Dened-
WAN (SD-WAN), Virtual Customer Premise Equipment (vCPE) technology, Unied
Threat Management (UTM), Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Intrusion Detection
and Prevention Systems (IDS, IPS), Firewall technology, and Load Balancing
applications.
The AND-APL1Ex is powered by an Intel®Celeron®Processor N3350 or E3940
processor and has onboard LPDDR4 2GB memory and 8GB eMMC. Measuring only
165 x 92 x 40mm, the appliance is small enough for even the most crowded ofces.
Despite its modest dimensions, it still houses two USB3.0 ports and a console port
alongside its four LAN ports.

3. AMI BIOS Setup
3.1. System Test and Initialization
The system uses certain routines to perform testing and initialization. If an error,
fatal or non-fatal, is encountered, a few short beeps or an error message will be
outputted. The board can usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal
errors.
The system conguration verication routines check the current system conguration
against the values stored in the CMOS memory. If they do not match, an error
message will be outputted, in which case you will need to run the BIOS setup
program to set the conguration information in memory.
There are three situations in which you will need to change the CMOS settings:
• You are starting your system for the rst time
• You have changed your system’s hardware
• The CMOS memory has lost power and the conguration information is erased
The system’s CMOS memory uses a backup battery for data retention, which is to
be replaced once emptied.
3.2. AMI BIOS Setup
The AMI BIOS ROM has a pre-installed Setup program that allows users to modify
basic system congurations, which is stored in the battery-backed CMOS RAM and
BIOS NVRAM so that the information is retained when the power is turned off.
To enter BIOS Setup, press <Del> or <F2> immediately while your computer is
powering up.
The function for each interface can be found below.
Main – Date and time can be set here. Press <Tab> to switch between date
elements
Advanced – Enable/ Disable boot option for legacy network devices
Chipset – For hosting bridge parameters
Boot – Enable/ Disable quiet Boot Option
Security – The setup administrator password can be set here
Save & Exit – Save your changes and exit the program
