SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read the following information carefully before operating the device. Please follow the following
precaution items to protect the device from risks and damage caused by fire and electric power:
 Use the power adapter that is included with the device package.
 Pay attention to the power load of the outlet or prolonged lines. An overburdened power
outlet or damaged cords and plugs may cause electric shock or fire. Check the power cords
regularly, if you find any damage, replace it at once.
 Proper space for heat dissipation is necessary to avoid any damage caused by device
overheating. The ventilation holes on the device are designed for heat dissipation to ensure
that the device works normally. Do not cover these ventilation holes.
 Do not put this device close to a place where a heat source exits or high temperature occurs.
Avoid placing the device in direct sunshine.
 Do not put this device close to a place which is damp or wet. Do not spill any fluid on this
device.
 Please follow the instructions in the user manual/quick install guide carefully to connect the
device to your PC or other electronic product. Any invalid connection may cause a power or
fire risk.
Do not place this device on an unstable surface or support.
CAUTION: Circuit devices are sensitive to static electricity, which
can damage their delicate electronics. Dry weather conditions or
walking across a carpeted floor may cause you to acquire a static
electrical charge.
To protect your device, always:
 Touch the metal chassis of your computer to ground the static
electrical charge before you pick up the circuit device.
 Pick up the device by holding it on the left and right edges only.
 If you are connecting a device mounted outdoors to this switch
please ensure you have installed an additional lightning arrestor
between this device and the outdoor equipment.

Fig. Additional arrester installed between outdoor device and
this switch
NOTE: The switch is indoor device; if it will be used in outdoor
environment or connects with some outdoor device, then it must
use a lightning arrester to protect the switch
WARNING:
 Self-demolition of Product is strictly prohibited.
Damage caused by self-demolition will result in
voiding the switches warranty.
 Do not place product in outdoor locations.
 Before installation, please make sure input power
supply and product specifications are compatible to
each other.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock. Disconnect all AC
or DC power cords and RPS cables to completely
remove power from the unit.
 Before importing / exporting configuration please
make sure the firmware version is always the same.

1. Operation of the Web-based Management
This chapter instructs you on how to configure and manage the APS Series switches through the web
user interface. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor the switch through any of the
Ethernet ports and view the status of the switch, including MIBs status, each port activity, Spanning
tree status, port aggregation status, multicast traffic, VLAN and priority status, even illegal access
record and so on.
The default values of the APS Series switches are listed in the table below:
IP Address
192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway
192.168.1.254
Username
admin
Password
To access the web management of an APS Series switch enter the default IP Address in web browser
and hit enter. E.g. http://192.168.1.1
Once you have entered the IP Address into the web browser you will be prompted to enter a
Username and Password in order to access the web management interface. Enter the default values
as shown in the table above.
The APS Series switches support a simple user management function allowing only one administrator
to configure the system at the same time. If there are two or more users using the administrator’s
identity, it will allow only the first user who logs in to configure the system. The rest of the users,
even with administrator’s identity, can only monitor the system. For those who do not have
administrator access they will only be able to monitor the system. Only a maximum of three users
are able to login simultaneously.
NOTE:
The APS Series switches support management interface on both
IPv4 and IPv6 IP Addresses.
To optimize the display, we recommend you use Microsoft IE 6.0
and above, Netscape V7.1 and above or FireFox V1.00 and above
and a screen resolution of 1024x768.

Parameter Description
Clock Source: Select what clock source the switch will use for its time configuration. Use
Local Settings allows you to manually set the time, or use NTP Server to
allow the switch to sync it’s time with an external NTP time server.
Local Time: Displays the current time when using NTP Server, or is used to set the time
when using Local Settings.
Time Zone Offset: Provide the time zone offset relative to UTC/GMT. The offset is given in
minutes east of GMT. The valid range is from -720 to 720 minutes. E.g. +10
will be 600 minutes.
Daylight Savings: Daylight saving is adopted in some countries. If set, it will adjust the time by
adding or removing time in unit of hours, according to the starting date and
the ending date. For example, if you set the day light saving to be 1 hour.
When the time passes over the starting time, the system time will be
increased by one hour. When the time passes over the ending time, the
system time will be decreased by one hour.
If the Time Set Offset value is set to 0, no changes to the time will be made,
nor will you have to set a start and end date. If you do add a valid value then
you will need to configure your start and end dates for daylights savings in
your particular area.
Time Set Offset: Enter the Daylight Savings time offset for your region. The offset is given in
minutes east of standard GMT. The valid range is 1 to 1440 minutes. Default
is 60 minutes.
Daylight Savings Type: Here you can select whether you want to set your daylight saving “By Dates”
or by “Recurring”. If you set “By Dates” this will need to be changed each
year, if you select “Recurring” then this will only need to be setup once.
