Switch Overview
The SX-24P switch is a fully manageable gigabit switch, designed to address a wide range of
networking needs. This switch provides 24 PoE+ capable ports with the ability to utilize full 802.3at
(30W) PoE+ output on 12 ports simultaneously or full 802.3af (15.4W) PoE on all 24 ports simul-
taneously. The SX Series switches are encased in AV like housings to appeal to customers demand
for aesthetics.
The following chart denes the features of the SX-24P.
Port Speeds 10/100/1000 mbps High Powered PoE Yes
Console Port Yes High Powered PoE Ports* 12
Web GUI Yes SFP Yes
Ethernet Ports 24 SFP Ports 4
PoE Capable Yes Shared SFP Yes
PoE Ports 24
*PoE is supplied on a power budget. This means 370W are available for total PoE power on the SX-24P. A mix of PoE and PoE+
devices may be used at the same time, as long as the total power usage from PoE is under 370W. This allows for 12 devices to be
fully powered using PoE+, or 24 devices to be fully powered using PoE.

Preparing to Install the Switch
Installing the SX-24P is similar to installing any other Pakedge switch. If you have installed a managed switch before, the process will be very similar. The GUI for all of the SX Series switches will be
the same so the conguration steps discussed later in this quick start guide can be used on any of
the switches.
Tools required:
• Philips 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, attach the rack-mounting
brackets that come with the switch to the sides. If not rack-mounting, ensure that the
switch is physically mounted near power and network connections (i.e, backbone switch or
rewall/router).
3. Connect power to the device.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to any LAN port on the switch.
5. You are now ready to congure the switch with an IP address in your network range.
