for the display and touch overlay components that are warranted for a period of one (1)
year.

• Disk drive mechanisms, pan/tilt heads, power supplies, and MX Series products are
warranted for a period of one (1) year.

• AMX Lighting products are guaranteed to switch on and off any load that is properly
connected to our lighting products, as long as the AMX Lighting products are under
warranty. AMX Corporation does guarantee the control of dimmable loads that are
properly connected to our lighting products. The dimming performance or quality can­not be guaranteed due to the random combinations of dimmers, lamps and ballasts or
transformers.

• Unless otherwise specified, OEM and custom products are warranted for a period of
one (1) year.

• AMX Software is warranted for a period of ninety (90) days.

• Batteries and incandescent lamps are not covered under the warranty.

This warranty extends only to products purchased directly from AMX Corporation or an
Authorized AMX Dealer.

All products returned to AMX require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The
RMA number is obtained from the AMX RMA Department. The RMA number must be
clearly marked on the outside of each box. The RMA is valid for a 30-day period. After the
30-day period the RMA will be cancelled. Any shipments received not consistent with the
RMA, or after the RMA is cancelled, will be refused. AMX is not responsible for products
returned without a valid RMA number.

This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim is made, under
this warranty or as a tort claim (including negligence and strict product liability), a contract
claim, or any other claim. This limitation of liability cannot be waived or amended by any
person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX Corporation or an authorized
representative of AMX Corporation has been advised of the possibility of any such dam­ages. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury.

Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do
not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer
products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of the Limited Warranty may not apply.

Introduction

Socket

Overview

The 24-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch contains 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports and two
combination ports—10/100/1000BASE-T ports that operate in combination with Small Form Factor
Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots.

All the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports on this switch support IEEE 802.3af standard Power-over­Ethernet capabilities. Each port can detect connected 802.3af-compliant network devices, such as
AMX’s NXA-WAP 200 G, other third party’s wireless access points or IP phones, and automatically
supply the required DC power.

As well as its Power-over-Ethernet capabilities, the switch provides comprehensive network
management features, and is specifically designed to provide reliability and consistant performance for
audio/video streams coming from AMX’s MAX units.

FIG. 1 Front and Rear Panels

Switch Architecture

The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed
transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability
on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

The PoE switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With store-and­forward switching, 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.

This switch includes two Gigabit combination ports with RJ-45 connectors and associated SFP slots.

Power-over-Ethernet Capability

The switch’s 24 10/100 Mbps ports support the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard that
enables DC power to be supplied to attached devices using wires in the connecting Ethernet cable. Any

802.3af compliant device attached to a port can directly draw power from the switch over the Ethernet
cable without requiring its own separate power source. This capability gives installers greater flexibility
in deployment locations for devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points, which translates into
greater network availability.

For each attached 802.3af-compliant device, the switch automatically senses the load and dynamically
supplies the required power. The switch delivers power to a device using the two wire pairs in UTP or
STP cable that are not used for 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections. Each port can provide up to 15.4

NXA-ENET24 Hardware Installation Guide

Introduction

W of power at the standard -48 DC voltage. Independent overload and short-circuit protection for each
port allows the switch to automatically shut down a port’s power when limits are exceeded.

Network devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and network cameras, typically consume less
than 10 W of power, so they are ideal for Power-over-Ethernet applications.

Network Management Arrangement

With a comprehensive arrangement of LEDs, this switch provides “at a glance” monitoring of network
and port status. The switch can be managed over the network with a web browser Telnet application, or
via a direct connection to the console port. 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
RS-232 serial port (DB-9 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

“Cables” on page 31. for wiring options.)

For a detailed description of the advanced features, refer to the Software Configuration Guide

The switch uses DVMRP protocol to determine the routing for multicast packets. If no hosts have
subscribed to the indicated multicast service, the packet will be dropped.

Description of Hardware

Physical Description

The NXA-ENET24 and the NXA-ENET24 PoE Fast Ethernet switches measure 17.32 x 16.14 x 1.69
inches (44.0 x 41.0 x 4.3 cm).

10/100BASE-T Ports

The PoE switch base unit contains 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All ports support automatic
MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or
servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments” on page 31.)

Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex),
and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports
does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually.

Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically
prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

1000BASE-T/SFP Ports

These are combination Gigabit RJ-45 ports with alternate Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
transceiver slots. If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on
the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled.

The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight­through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See
“1000BASE-T Pin Assignments” on page 33.)

The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports do not support PoE capability.

Port and System Status LEDs

The switch base unit also includes a display panel for key system and port indications that simplify
installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on the front panel for easy
viewing, are shown below and described in the following tables.

Port Status LEDs

FIG. 2 Port LEDs

The port status LEDs have two display modes; Link and PoE. The Link mode displays the link status and
network activity on each port. The PoE mode displays the PoE power status on each port. Use the Mode
Link/PoE button (See “Mode PoE/Link Button” on page 6.) on the front panel to toggle between the two
display modes. The current mode is indicated by the Link/Act and PoE system LEDs.
