AXT620 Ethernet Switch
Made in Taiwan
Rack-mount Installation
For proper ventilation, allow about at least four inches (10 cm) of clear-
ance on the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the switch. This is
especially important for enclosed rack installation.

Web-Based Management
The switch is managed from an embedded web server, which offers advanced management features and lets you manage the switch from anywhere on
the network through a standard web browser. The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 6.0 or later version.
System Login
To configure the switch, you must log into the system via the internet.
Default Values
Change your user name and password for increased security.
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
User Name: root
Password: root
2. On the login window, enter your credentials. For the initial login, use
the default user name and password. Select OK. The Main page is
displayed.
1. Open a web browser. In the address bar, enter the IP address of the
switch, and then press Enter.
Main Page
From the Main Page, you can navigate to the desired area of interest to configure and manage the switch options.

System Information
IP Conguration
The switch is a network device and needs to be assigned
an IP address for identification on the network.
When making changes to the menu configuration settings,
you must click Apply to make the changes to the switch.
TFTP Transaction
In this option, you can update the firmware of the switch.
You will need to run a TFTP server on the computer con-
nected to the switch, and then enter the IP address of the
computer in the TFTP Server IP Address field. Then enter
the name of the firmware file into the ‘Firmware File Name’
field and click Apply to start the upgrade process. Once
the upgrade process is complete, you should click Factory
Default on the left-hand side of the Main Page of the switch.
NOTE: Before doing a firmware upgrade, either unplug or
power off all devices connected to the AXT620 except the
computer.
DHCP Server - Client Entries
When the DHCP server function is enabled, you can view
DHCP client information here.
This option lets you assign the system name, description,
physical location, and contact personnel. You can also look
up your firmware and kernel version here, as well as the
MAC address.
Power over Ethernet
In this option, you can manage your Power over Ethernet
options. You also can view the system’s real-time total
power consumption, output voltage for PoE ports, and the
firmware version of the PoE chip.
DHCP Server - System Conguration
When you are using multiple switches to manage numerous
devices, you can designate one switch to act as the DHCP
server. All other switches must be designated as clients with
the DHCP server set to OFF.
Only the server can have the DHCP switch set to ON.
User Authentication
In this option, you can change the user name and password
of the switch.

Troubleshooting
Incorrect connections
The switch port can automatically detect straight or crossover cable when linked with other Ethernet devices. For the RJ-45 connector, STP cable,
10/100Mbps port use 2-pairs twisted cable.
Faulty or loose cables
Look for loose or faulty connections, and make sure the connections are snug. Lastly, try a different cable.
Non-standard cables
• Non-standard and incorrectly-wired cables can cause network collisions and other problems, and can impair network performance. A category 5e/6-
cable tester is a recommended tool for network installation.
• RJ-45 ports: Use shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections. Be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100
meters (328 feet).
Improper Network Topologies
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive cable length and too many repeaters
(hubs) between end nodes. In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two end nodes,
there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely affect your network performance.
