SWITCH OVERVIEW
The X-Series switches are fully manageable gigabit switches designed to address a wide range of networking
needs. They come in a variety of configurations such as 8-port or 24-port, non-PoE, PoE and high powered PoE
as well as front or rear facing ports. The X-Series switches are encased in AV like housings to appeal to customers
demand for aesthetics.
The following chart defines the different features of the X-Series switches.

*Enabling PoE plus on a port will disable PoE for a different port. For example, if you enable PoE plus on port 24 of the S24Hf then you will have to disable PoE
on one other port. You can have a maximum of 24 ports with normal PoE or have a maximum of 12 ports PoE Plus.

PREPARING TO INSTALL THE SWITCH
Installing any of the X-Series switches is similar to installing any other Pakedge switch. If you have installed a
managed switch before, the process will be very similar. The GUI for all of the X-Series switches will be the
same so the configuration steps discussed later in this quick start guide can be used on any of the switches.
Tools required:
• Philips Screwdriver (if using rack-mount brackets).
• PC or Laptop with ehternet interface and a web browser (an integrated DB-9 port or USB-to-Serial adapter
may be necessary if you would like to use the console interface).
• Ethernet Cable.
INSTALLATION
1. Open the box and remove the unit.
2. Optional: If mounting the switch in a standard 19” AV rack, attach the rack-mounting brackets that come
with the switch to the sides. If not rack-mounting, ensure that the switch is physically mounted near power
and network connections (i.e, backbone switch or firewall/router).
3. Connect power to the device.
4. Connect an ethernet cable from your computer to any LAN port on the X-Series switch.
5. You are now ready to configure the switch to an IP address that matches your network.

X-SERIES SWITCHES QUICK START GUIDE
CONFIGURING THE SWITCH
1. Connect the X-Series switch to power. The PWR LED will light up and the fans will start.
2. Connect a PC or laptop to any LAN port on the X-Series switch.
3. Configure the PC with a static IP address of 192.168.1.10 and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 and then open any browser.
4. In the browser, enter the switch’s default IP address of 192.168.1.205 into the Address
Bar and press <ENTER>.
5. A web page will appear asking you for a password. The default username is admin
and the password is blank (no password).

X-SERIES SWITCHES QUICK START GUIDE
6. Once you have logged into the switch you will have access to the GUI and will be able to make any
changes you wish to the swtich. The following is an example of the system configuration page for the
S24F.

CHANGING THE IP ADDRESS OF THE SWITCH
1. From the menu on the left, navigate to IP Basic Configuration-> IP Address Configuration.

7
X-SERIES SWITCHES QUICK START GUIDE
CHANGING THE IP ADDRESS OF THE SWITCH (continued)
2. Select 1from the line item dropdown menu and on the right hand side, under “IP Address / Subnet
prefix”, enter the IP address you wish to change the switch to. For example, to change the switch to be
on 192.168.1.206 you would enter 192.168.1.206/24 into the “IP Address / Subnet prefix” box. The
/24 is another way of using the 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.
3. Click on “Create/Modify IP address” and now the switch will be on the new IP address.

SETTING THE DEFAULT GATEWAY
1. To set the default gateway we will need to create a static route. Navigate to IP Basic Configuration->
Host Static Route.

9
X-SERIES SWITCHES QUICK START GUIDE
2. In the “Target Address/Subnet Prefix” type 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 and in the “Next Hop” enter the IP
address of your router.
3. Click “Apply” and now you should have a static route created, which means the default gateway
has been set. For example, if the router is set to 192.168.1.99 then you would see an entry similar
to the following:

CONSOLE INTO THE SWITCH
Any of the X-Series switches will have a console port to serve as a back door entrance to the switch.
This can be beneficial in case the switch is not functioning properly or if the incorrect IP address was
configured. To console into the switch please take the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the X-Series switch and then connect
the other end to your computer. You may use a USB to serial adapter in case your computer doesn’t
have a serial port. You will also need to have either Putty or HyperTerminal to connect to the switch’s
command line console.
2. Open Putty or HyperTerminal and enter the COM port that your computer is using and then set the
following settings:
Baud Rate: 38400
Character Size: 8
Parity Code: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None

11
X-SERIES SWITCHES QUICK START GUIDE
The following is an example if you are using Putty:

X-SERIES SWITCHES QUICK START GUIDE
3. 3. If you are using Putty you need to go to Session on the left hand side and select Serial for the
connection type and then click open to actually initiate the console session.

13
X-SERIES SWITCHES QUICK START GUIDE
4. Once the connection is established you should see a screen similar to the following:
5. You are now consoled into the switch.

RESETTING THE IP ADDRESS THROUGH THE CONSOLE
You can reset the IP address of the switch through the console. This can be helpful in case of miss-
configuration. To do this you will first need to console into the switch as previously described and then take the
following steps:
1. Type enable and press <ENTER>.The prompt will change and will have a # now.
2. Type conf t and press <ENTER>.
3. Type interface vlan1 and press <ENTER>.
4. Type IP address 192.168.1.205/24 and press <ENTER>.
5. Press <CTRL-Z>.
6. Type write (You will see Building and writing configuration).
7. Type copy run start (You will see Building and writing configuration).
8. The switch should now be accessible on its default IP address.

15
X-SERIES SWITCHES QUICK START GUIDE
FACTORY DEFAULTING THROUGH THE CONSOLE
You can factory default the switch through console in case it is not functioning properly. To do this you will first
need to console into the switch as previously described and take the following steps:
1. Type enable and press <ENTER>.The prompt will now have a # symbol.
2. Type delete startup-config and press <ENTER>.
3. Type Ywhen asked if you wish to continue.
4. Type reset and press <ENTER>.
5. Type Ywhen asked if you wish to continue.
6. The switch will now reboot and come back up with default settings.
