Network Connections
The XFS-1816P supports 10/100 Mbps half/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 XFS-1816P to an Ethernet enabled device (including servers, routers, and other
switches) without a crossover cable.
The XFS-1816P offers 2 Gigabit uplink ports and 1 shared Gigabit SFP module expansion
port. When Gigabit SFP optical modules are inserted, these interfaces can support optical
fiber cables to extend the Gigabit network up to 49 miles—enabling the network to extend
beyond the 300 foot limitation of twisted pair Ethernet.
Network Transmission Media
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 fiber/cable should be selected based on the wavelength of the SFP optical module
to be used.
CAUTION: Make sure only one Uplink channel exists between switches or
between the XFS-1816P and a router. Otherwise, loops can occur
and result in network failure.
CONFIGURATION
Login
The XFS-1816P is not equipped with internal DHCP server. However, if you are connect-
ing to a Luxul Router with the default LAN address, the configuration will be automatic.
Otherwise, the IP address of the computer for login and configuration will need to be manu-
ally configured. The table below lists the default parameters of the XFS-1816P.
Parameter: Default Value
Default IP address: 192.168.0.4
Default user name: admin
Default password: admin
Login to the switch with the following steps:
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into any of the switch ports
2. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port of your computer
3. Power on the switch.
