1: PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.1 Product Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Luxul XMS-1024 Gigabit Ethernet Smart
Switch, featuring network management. The management interface provides a
powerful, yet simple method for setting up and optimizing an intelligent home or
offi ce network. The XMS-1024 features powerful network optimization capabilities,
including extensive support for port management, port security, Quality of Service
(QoS), VLAN confi guration and port trunking. Other features such as 802.1X authentication, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), IGMP Snooping, static MAC address
table, and port traffi c statistics further enable a robust, powerful network environment. The XMS-1024 provides 24 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports and 2 shared SFP
optical module expansion ports. The SFP ports can be used as uplinks for extending
the network between switches or for long range communications and extensions.

Factory Reset Button: Used to restore factory default settings.
To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the reset button until the SYS
LED turns off, approx. 5 seconds. A factory reset may take approximately a minute to complete. A successful Factory Reset is indicated by the Port LED lights
scrolling once from left to right. When the SYS LED turns on the unit is ready.
NOTE: To hard reset the router use the power switch. Turn the router
off, wait 5 seconds and turn the unit back on.

3.1 System Requirements
Ethernet Cables to connect the XMS-1024 to Ethernet enabled devices
Computer equipped with a Web browser. Supported Web browser versions
include Microsoft IE 6.0 and up, Safari 1.0 and up or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and up.
The Web browser is used to confi gure the XMS-1024.
Power must be AC 100-240V~ 0.6A(Max) 50/60Hz.
3.2 Before Connecting to the Network
The XMS-1024 can be rack-mounted or used as a desktop switch. Before connecting to the network, please be aware of the following requirements:
Install the XMS-1024 in a stable/safe place to avoid any possible damage
Make sure there is adequate space around the XMS-1024 for adequate ventilation and proper heat dissipation. It is recommended to have at least 4-6 inches
around all sides.
Do not place heavy articles on the XMS-1024.
Power outlets should be within 5 feet of the XMS-1024.
Verify the ground connection of the outlet is functioning properly.

User Guide
Check the power cord to confi rm a secure connection.
Avoid placement in direct sunlight.
When installing the XMS-1024 on a fl at surface, attach the rubber feet to the
bottom of the device to avoid scratching the surface.
4: XMS-1024 INSTALLATION
4.1 Installing the XMS-1024 in a Rack
The XMS-1024 can easily be installed in a standard 19” rack. The XMS-1024 includes two
mounting ears for installing and stabilizing the switch. For attaching the mounting ears
and installing the switch within a rack, please refer to the following illustration:
Rack-Mounting the XMS-1024
Using the included screws, attach the mounting ears to each side of the switch.
Mount the switch in the rack with the LEDs facing outwards. Be sure the switch is
level and properly secured within the rack.
4.2 Desktop Setup
For use as a desktop device, position and apply the included rubber feet to the
bottom of the XMS-1024.

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/fullduplex 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 fi ber
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 fi ber/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 XMS1024 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 plug and play Luxul devices, it is
recommended that the default IP value be maintained.

The XMS-1024 is not equipped with internal DHCP server. However, if your switch is
connected to the the XBR-2300 Enterprise Dual-WAN Router, confi guration will be
automatic. Otherwise, the IP address of the computer for login and confi guration
will need to be manually confi gured. The table below lists the default parameters
of the XMS-1024.

Login to the switch with the following steps:
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into any of the ports of the switch
2. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port of your computer
3. Power on the switch
4. Check to see that the IP address of the computer is within this network segment:
192.168.0.xxx (“xxx” ranges 100~254). For example, 192.168.0.100. For IP address
settings, refer to Appendix 3.
5. Open the Web browser, and enter 192.168.0.2. The switch login window appears,
as shown below.
