NOTE: All PoE ports are enabled as PoE+ and low priority and Max
power at 30W. This results in a 240W allocation but with the
management set to “actual consumption” the PoE units should
power up until they hit the 130W power budget limit.
LED Indicators
LED indicators show the working status of the switch. The following table de-
scribes the LED functionality:

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
System Requirements
 Ethernet Cables to connect the AMS-1208P to Ethernet enabled devices
Computer equipped with a Web browser. Supported Web browser versions
include Microsoft I.E. 9.0, Firefox 3.6, Safari 5.0, Chrome 6.0, Opera 10.6 and up.
The Web browser is used to configure the AMS-1208P.
 Power must be AC 100-240V 1.6A 50/60Hz.
Before Connecting to the Network
The AMS-1208P can be rack-mounted or used as a desktop switch. Before connect-
ing to the network, please be aware of the following requirements:
Install the AMS-1208P in a stable/safe place to avoid any possible damage
Make sure there is space around the AMS-1208P for adequate ventilation and proper
heat dissipation. It is recommended to have at least 4-6 inches around all sides.
Power outlets should be within 5 feet of the AMS-1208P.
Verify the ground connection of the outlet is functioning properly.
Check the power cord to confirm a secure connection.
When installing the AMS-1208P on a flat surface, attach the rubber feet to the
bottom of the device to avoid scratching the surface.
AMS-1208P INSTALLATION
Installing the AMS-1208P in a Rack
The AMS-1208P can easily be installed in a standard 19” rack. The AMS-1208P includes
two mounting ears for installing and stabilizing the switch. For attaching the mounting
ears and installing the switch within a rack, please refer to the following illustration:

Rack-Mounting the AMS-1208P
 Using the included screws, attach the mounting ears to each side of the switch.
 Mount the switch in the rack with the LEDs facing outwards. Be sure the switch is
level and properly secured within the rack.
Desktop Setup
For use as a desktop device, position and apply the included rubber feet to the
bottom of the AMS-1208P.

Attaching the Rubber Feet to the AMS-1208P
Network Connections:
The AMS-1208P supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet; 10/100 Mbps half/full-
duplex mode and 1000 Mbps full-duplex mode. All RJ-45 ports support Auto MDI/
MDIX and can be used as ordinary ports or as Uplink ports. Any RJ-45 port can be
used to connect the AMS-1208P to an Ethernet enabled device (including servers,
routers, and other switches) without a crossover cable.
The AMS-1208P offers 2 Gigabit RJ-45 and 2 Gigabit SFP ports for expansion. This
allows for the use of standard Ethernet cable or Gigabit optical fi ber for network
expansion. If using optical fi ber, Gigabit SFP modules are required (Not Included).
Once the Gigabit SFP optical modules are inserted, these interfaces can support
optical fi ber cables to extend the Gigabit network—enabling the network to reach
beyond the 300 foot limitation of twisted pair Ethernet.
For the RJ-45 ports, Category-5, super Category-5 or Category-6 unshielded twisted
pair (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 UTP) should be used.

NOTE: For best results, it is recommended that Category-6 shielded
twisted pair be used to ensure stable data transmission at 1000 Mbps.
Optical fiber/cable should be selected based on the wavelength of the SFP
optical module to be used.
Make sure only one Uplink channel exists between switches or between the AMS-
1208P and a router. Otherwise, loops can occur and result in network failure.
Default IP Address
The AMS-1208P default IP address is 192.168.0.3. This address can be changed.
However, for hassle free installation of other plug and play Luxul devices, it is
recommended that the default IP value be maintained.
Login
The AMS-1208P is not equipped with internal DHCP server. However, if your switch
is connected to a Luxul Router, configuration will be automatic. Otherwise, the
IP address of the computer for login and configuration will need to be manually
configured. The table below lists the default parameters of the AMS-1208P.
Parameter: Default Value
Default IP address: 192.168.0.3
Default user name: admin
Default password: admin
Login to the switch with the following steps:
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into any of the ports of the switch
2. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port of your computer
3. Power on the switch
4. Check to see that the IP address of the computer is within the network
segment: 192.168.0.xxx (“xxx” ranges 1~254). For example, 192.168.0.100.
5. Open the Web browser, and enter 192.168.0.3. The login window appears.
6. Enter the user name and password (default user name and default password
are both set as “admin”), and then click “OK” to login to the switch
configuration window.
