Preparing to install the switch
The SX-8-EP allows for multiple installation options. It is possible to mount it in an AV rack, mount
to a wall, or place on a desktop. When powering the SX-8-EP by PoE, installing is even easier since
proximity to an AC outlet is no longer a deciding factor to placement.
Tools required:
• Phillips screwdriver (if using rack-mount brackets)
• Computer with Ethernet interface and a modern web browser
• Optional: An integrated DB-9 port or USB-to-DB9 adapter may be necessary in order to use
the console interface.
• Ethernet cable
Installation
1
Remove the switch from the box.
2
Optional:
If mounting the switch in a standard 19” AV rack, follow the instructions labeled
“Installing a rack bracket” on page 6. If wall-mounting the switch, follow the instructions
for “Installing a wall mount” on page 7. You may also use the included rubber feet to
place the switch on any desktop.
3
Connect power to the device.
4
Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to any LAN port on the switch. You are now
ready to configure the switch with an IP address in your network range.
