Note: -__.To remove the power module, push the tab toward the handle and pull the
module straight back.
Caution: -.Do not use a Y power cable. Sometimes called a Ysplitter cable.

Installing the switch
Rack mount Shelf mount
Caution: -.To avoid possible interference or damage, do not stack equipment on top
of the switch.
Rack mounting guidelines
lThe maximum ambient temperature of the space the switch is installed in should
not exceed 122°F/50°C.
lThere should be air flowing through the rack.
lMake sure all the leveling feet or casters are adjusted correctly and they come in
contact with the supporting surface. Always load heavier equipment at the
bottom of the rack.
lMake sure the rack is grounded and the equipment is surge protected.

lDo not overload the power equipment or the switch. Read our WattBox Best
Practices for more information.

Connections
Caution: -.All router and switch connections should be on network ports. Not the
management port.
QSFP28 ports
The QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) ports support up to a 100Gbps
connection and are typically used to connect switches.

Configuration
Araknis switches can be configured through OvrC or the local interface. The local
interface is accessible using OvrC’s WebConnect feature, typing the switch’s DHCP
address into your browser’s address bar, or using the switch’s default IP address.
Configuring the switch in OvrC
OvrC provides Wi-Fi management, remote device management, real-time notifications,
and intuitive customer management, using your computer or mobile device. Setup is
plug-and-play, with no port forwarding or DDNS address required.
To add this device to your OvrC account:
1. Connect the switch to the internet.
2. Log into OvrC (www.ovrc.com).
3. Scan the site using an OvrC Pro
device or add the switch manually by
entering the MAC address and
Service Tag.
Logging in to the local interface
Log into the switch using the default credentials. You must update the credentials after
initial login.
Username araknis
Password araknis

Other access methods:DHCPIPaddress
The switch is configured to DHCP by default so that the DHCP
server can assign an IP address when the switch is connected to
the network (the DHCP server is usually the router). This address
can be used for accessing the web interface.
Use one of these methods to find the IP address of the switch:
lCheck the device list in OvrC.
lCheck the client table on your router.
lUse a network scanner (e.g. Fing) to scan the network. The
Araknis switch manufacturer field displays SnapAV.
See the highlighted field in the Fing screenshot to the right for an
example of an Araknis device being identified.

Accessing the switch using the default IP
Address
If the switch is not given an IP address on the network or needs to be accessed while not
connected to a network, you can configure your computer’s network connection to
access the switch using the default IP address, 192.168.20.254, while connected to the
MGMT port.
Note: -__.You must connect your computer to the MGMT port to connect to the switch
using its default IP address.
