Welcome to Araknis® Networks
Thank you for choosing an Araknis 300-series Network Switch. The 300-series managed network switch
is an enterprise-class switch specically designed for use in Ethernet applications within the IT market.
With front-facing indicators and ports, the 300-series switch was designed for easy installation and high
performance in an environment where trafc on the network and the number of users could increase
continuously. The switch provides 10/100/1000Mbps capability on all ports and operates as a plug-
and-play device, auto detecting connections to other switches and allowing straight-through patch
cables throughout an installation. An intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows for quick and easy
conguration of the switch’s powerful features.
PoE models provide full PoE functionality. The PoE power budget in the AN-300-SW-F-8-POE / -16-POE
/ -24-POE provides 15W on each port simultaneously. This helps systems integrator save time and effort
calculating the available power budget as more PoE devices are added to the switch.
Araknis®300-Series Overview
The following table lists the models available in the 300-series family of network switches.
Model Number of

AN-300-SW-F-8 8 0 2 Internal
AN-300-SW-F-16 16 0 2 Internal
AN-300-SW-F-24 24 0 2 Internal
AN-300-SW-F-8-POE 8 8 2 Internal
AN-300-SW-F-16-POE 16 16 2 Internal
AN-300-SW-F-24-POE 24 24 2 Internal
This Quick Start Guide will guide you through the layout of the device, and show the basic steps for
using the switch.

Individual ports can provide up to 25W but this will affect the available PoE budget for other
ports. Each PoE model can provide 25W on half of the available ports at the same time

Rack Mounting (Continued)
• Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature of 104°F.
• Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount
of air ow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to
the supply circuit, and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings
should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to
the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
