LANs (Local Area Networks).
The unit must be connected to an earthed (grounded) outlet to comply with international
safety standards.
Do not connect unit to an A.C outlet (power supply) without an earth (ground) connection.
The appliance coupler (the connector to the unit and not the wall plug) must have a
configuration for mating with an EN 60320/IEC 320 appliance inlet.
The socket outlet must be near to the unit and easily accessible. You can only remove power
from the unit by disconnecting the power cord from the outlet.
This unit operates under SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions according to IEC 60950.
The conditions are only maintained if the equipment to which it is connected also operates
under SELV conditions.

CAUTION:
Circuit devices are sensitive to static electricity, which
can damage their delicate electronics. Dry weather conditions or
walking across a carpeted floor may cause you to acquire a static
electrical charge.
To protect your device, always:
Touch the metal chassis of your computer to ground the static
electrical charge before you pick up the circuit device.
Pick up the device by holding it on the left and right edges only.
If you are connecting a device mounted outdoors to this switch
please ensure you have installed an additional lightning arrestor
between this device and the outdoor equipment.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read the following information carefully before operating the device. Please follow the following
precaution items to protect the device from risks and damage caused by fire and electric power:
Use the power adapter that is included with the device package.
Pay attention to the power load of the outlet or prolonged lines. An overburdened power
outlet or damaged cords and plugs may cause electric shock or fire. Check the power cords
regularly, if you find any damage, replace it at once.
Proper space for heat dissipation is necessary to avoid any damage caused by device
overheating. The ventilation holes on the device are designed for heat dissipation to ensure
that the device works normally. Do not cover these ventilation holes.
Do not put this device close to a place where a heat source exits or high temperature occurs.
Avoid placing the device in direct sunshine.
Do not put this device close to a place which is damp or wet. Do not spill any fluid on this
device.
Please follow the instructions in the user manual/quick install guide carefully to connect the
device to your PC or other electronic product. Any invalid connection may cause a power or
fire risk.
Do not place this device on an unstable surface or support.

environment or connects with some outdoor device, then it must
use a lightning arrester to protect the switch
WARNING:
Self-demolition of Product is strictly prohibited.
Damage caused by self-demolition will result in
voiding the switches warranty.
Do not place product in outdoor locations.
Before installation, please make sure input power
supply and product specifications are compatible to
each other.

1. Introduction
Overview of APS Series Layer 2+ SNMP Managed PoE+ Switches
APS Series switch models offer flexible port configurations, with combinations of 1000Base-T
10/100/1000mbps RJ-45, paired 1000Base-T/SFP arrays (with the SFP slot supporting 100Mbps or
1Gbps mini-GBIC modules), unpaired SFP slots (also supporting 100Mbps or 1Gbps mini-GBIC
modules), and SFP+ slots for 1Gbps or 10Gbps mini-GBIC modules. Port densities range from 10 to
48 ports.
All APS series switches provide IEEE 802.3af and the latest 802.3at ‘PoE+’ Power over Ethernet. With
all RJ-45 ports supporting PoE+, devices such as IP Phones and Wireless Access Points can now
connected directly to the network with data and power supplied over a single UTP cable, reducing
deployment and maintenance costs and making it much easier to install devices exactly where they
are required. With APS series support of 802.3at PoE+, up to 30 watts power can be supplied per
port, so power hungry devices such as Pan Tilt Zoom IP Security Cameras can be connected directly
to the network. Whatever your PoE requirement may be, the APS series offers a solution with
individual models supporting from 8 to 48 PoE+ ports
All models in the range feature advanced Layer 2+ management functions, ensuring the high
performance required by modern networks supporting data voice and video applications. An
intuitive web GUI management interface can be accessed via HTTP or HTTPS. SNMP versions 1, 2 and
3 are supported as well as RMON, allowing the network administrator to manage, configure and
control the switch from any SNMP based software application. Console port, and CLI are also
supported. A dual IPv4/IPv6 protocol stack is provided, supporting a wide range of IPv6 applications
including Web/SSL, Telnet/SSH, ping, SNTP, TFTP, SNMP, RADIUS and Syslog. Other supported
functions include: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) trunking; VLAN, IGMP and MLD; Link
Layer Detection Protocol (LLDP); v1 and v2 SSH, IP source Guard, RADIUS/TACACS+ and Access
Control Lists (ACLs).
APS series switches comply with the latest IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Green Ethernet standard to
minimise power usage, with features such as Link Detection and Cable Length Detection are
supported. Link Detection automatically turns the power off/on to individual ports depending on
link/idle traffic status. Cable Length Detection adjusts the signal strength based on the length of the
cable - when using shorter cables the power consumption is reduced.

Switch Architecture
The switch performs at wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This allows wire-speed transport
of multiple packets at low latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features full-duplex
capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data integrity. With this
technology, the entire packet must be received into a buffer and checked for validity before being
forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.
Network Management Options
The switch can also be managed over the network with a web browser or Telnet application. The
switch includes a built-in network management agent that allows it to be managed in-band using
SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) protocols. It also has an RJ45 console port connector on the front
panel for out-of-band management. A PC may be connected to this port for configuration and
monitoring out-of-band via a null-modem serial cable. (See Appendix B for wiring options.)
