PREPARING TO INSTALL THE SWITCH
Installing the S24P8 is similar to installing any other PoE Switch. If you have installed an Ethernet switch
before, the process will be very similar.
Tools Required:
•Phillips Screwdriver (if using rack-mount brackets)
•PC or Laptop with Ethernet 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 box and remove unit.
2. OPTIONAL: If mounting the switch in a standard 19” AV rack, attach the rack-mounting brackets that
come with the S24P8 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 port on the switch.
5.You are now ready to configure the switch to an IP address that matches your network.

CONFIGURATION METHODS
There are two ways to complete the initial configuration of the S24P8 switch – either by using the standard
IP address and a web browser or the console cable and a terminal emulation program such as PuTTY or
HyperTerminal.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This Quick Start Guide only provides instructions for resetting the IP Address of the
switch and restoring it back to Factory Default with the console cable. Please reference the User’s Manual on
our website for additional CLI commands.
CONFIGURING THE SWITCH USING THE WEB INTERFACE
1.Connect the switch to power. Power LED will light up and switch fans will start.
2.Connect a PC or laptop to any standard Ethernet Port on the switch.
3.Configure the PC with the Static IP address of 192.168.1.10, and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and
then open any web browser. Internet Explorer, Mozilla, and Chrome browsers all work for configuring the
S24P8, but Internet Explorer is preferred.
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 window similar to the one in Figure 3 (p.7) will appear, prompting you for a username and password.
Enter admin for the username and leave the password field blank. Then, click “OK” to log into the web
administration portal.
6.Once you have logged into the switch, you will see the web interface as pictured in Figure 4 (p.8).

CONFIGURING VLANs
The S24P8 switch has an advanced web interface that allows you to configure each port on the switch to
the desired VLAN. It is important to configure the ports on the switch with the correct VLAN settings to reflect
what you are trying to accomplish on the network. This Quick Start Guide provides instructions for configuring
the ports of the switch when using a Wireless Access Point or a wired connection with VLAN tagging.

POINTS
If you are connecting a
Wireless Access Point
(WAP) to a port, please
follow these steps:
1.The first thing to do inside
the switch is to create
the VLANs. Start by
expanding the “VLAN
Configuration” folder and then click on “VLAN Configuration.” In the VID field, enter the
number of the VLAN you want to create and then click “Apply.” You can repeat this process to
create the desired number of VLANs as shown in Figure 8.
2.Next, configure the port to allow the VLANs to pass through. Click on “VLAN Port
Configuration” and under the Port dropdown select the port you are connecting the WAP to.
Under the model dropdown select “Hybrid,” under “Current VLAN” highlight “vlan1” and then
click “Default VLAN.” (Make sure vlan1 is an untagged member of the port).

Configuration for WAP
3.Now click on the next VLAN
in the list under “Current
VLAN,” and then click on
“tagged.” You will need
to do this for all remaining
VLANs in the “Current
VLAN” list that you want to
use with this port. You can
also highlight all the VLANs at once and click “tagged” to make them all members of the port. The
end result should look something like Figure 9.
4.You may repeat this process to configure any necessary ports the same way in the switch.
NOTE:
The port which will be used to connect to the router must be configured as a “Hybrid” port.

CONFIGURING THE SWITCH USING THE SUPPLIED CONSOLE CABLE
Configuring the switch using the console cable method is more involved. However, this method is helpful if the
Ethernet interfaces are not functioning properly or the incorrect IP address was accidentally set on the switch,
rendering it inaccessible through the web interface.
1.In order to connect to the switch, you must first have a PC with a DB-9 serial port or a USB-to-Serial
adapter. In addition, you need to use software such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY (available for free on the
Internet) to connect to the switch’s command line console.
2.Once you have located the serial port on your computer, plug the supplied Console Cable into the
computer and the switch (DB9 end to the computer and
Baud Rate
