Before Connecting to the Network
The AMS-4424P 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-4424P in a stable/safe place to avoid any possible damage
Make sure there is space around the AMS-4424P for adequate ventilation and proper
heat dissipation. It is recommended to have at least 4-6 inches around all sides.
Do not place heavy articles on the AMS-4424P.
Power outlets should be within 5 feet of the AMS-4424P.
Verify the ground connection of the outlet is functioning properly.
Check the power cord to confirm a secure connection.
Avoid placement in direct sunlight.
When installing the AMS-4424P on a flat surface, attach the rubber feet to the
bottom of the device to avoid scratching the surface.
AMS-4424P INSTALLATION
Installing the AMS-4424P in a Rack
The AMS-4424P can easily be installed in a standard 19” rack. The AMS-4424P includes
two mounting ears for installing and stabilizing the switch. When attaching the
mounting ears and installing the switch within a rack, please refer to the following
illustration:

Rack-Mounting the AMS-4424P
 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-4424P.

Attaching the Rubber Feet to the AMS-4424P
Network Connections:
The AMS-4424P 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-4424P to an Ethernet enabled device (including servers,
routers, and other switches) without a crossover cable.
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.
The AMS-4424P also offers 2 optical expansion ports that accommodate both 1
Gigabit SFP and 10 Gigabit SFP+ modules (for stacking). Please see below for recom-
mended SFP module and cable options.
Stacking the AMS-4424P
The AMS-4424P support stacking of up to 16 Switches (total of 384 Ports) enabling
you to Manage the stacked Switches in one easy to use interface. Stacking in the
AMS-4424P is Enabled by default and requires an SFP+ (10Gbps) link to be con-
nected between Switches. When connecting more than two Switches there will
be a Master Switch that feeds the other Switches. Stacked Switches automatically
connect to the IP Address of the Master, facilitating Seamless management of the
entire Stack

NOTE: While the AMS-4424P support SFP and SFP+ Adapters only SFP+
Adapters will operate with the Stacking function of the Switch.
Standard SFP (1Gbps) Adapters will result in a normal
switched connection.

SFP Cable
Due to the typical mounting proximity of Stacked Switches, Luxul recommends
using an SFP+ Copper Twinax Cable. SFP+ Fiber adapters can also be used and
Luxul recommends Multimode Fiber combined with Multimode capable Fiber
SFP+ adapters for Stacking Switches at distances greater than those supported by
Twinax Cables. Single Mode SFP+ Adapters can be used but must be selected to
conform to the Single Mode Fiber Lines used for interlink and due to the number
of possible options, Luxul has no standard recommendation. We recommend
contacting the Fiber Manufacturer for specifications to obtain the correct Single
Mode adapters requried. The Switch does support SFP Multi Mode and SFP Single
Mode adapters but will not take advantage of the Stacking function when these
modules are used.
Default IP Address
The AMS-4424P default IP address is 192.168.0.4. 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-4424P 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-4424P.
Parameter: Default Value

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 this network
segment: 192.168.0.xxx (“xxx” ranges 1~254). For example, 192.168.0.100.
5. Open the Web browser, and enter 192.168.0.4. 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.
