Attaching the Rubber Feet to the XMS-1024
4.3 Network Connections:
The„XMS-1024„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„XMS-1024„to„an„Ethernet„enabled„device„(including„servers,„
routers,„and„other„switches)„without„a„crossover„cable.„
The„XMS-1024„offers„2„shared„SFP„optical„module„expansion„ports.„Once„the„
Gigabit„SFP„optical„modules„are„inserted,„these„interfaces„can„support„optical„fiber„
cables„to„extend„the„Gigabit„network„up„to„49„miles—enabling„the„network„to„
extend„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.„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„XMS-
1024„and„a„router.„Otherwise,„loops„can„occur„and„result„in„network„failure.„
4.4 Default IP Address
The„XMS-1024„„default„IP„address„is„192.168.0.2.„This„address„can„be„changed.„
However,„for„hassle„free„installation„of„other„XenConnect™„plug„and„play„Luxul„
devices,„it„is„recommended„that„the„default„IP„value„be„maintained.
