PoE Ports *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...
Preparing to Install the Switch Installing the SX-24P is similar to installing any other Pakedge switch. If you have installed a man- aged switch before, the process will be very similar. The GUI for all of the SX Series switches will be the same so the configuration steps discussed later in this quick start guide can be used on any of the switches.
Logging Into the Switch Connect the SX-24P to a power source. The PWR LED will light up and the fans will start. Connect a PC or laptop to any LAN port on the switch. Configure the PC with a static IP address of 192.168.1.10 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (Default Gateway and DNS can be left blank) and then open any browser.
In this section you can enter the switch IP address in the box next to “IP Address”. By default the switch IP is 192.168.1.205. You will also need to enter the “Subnet Mask” and “Gateway” settings for your network. By default on a Pakedge network subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the Gateway will be 192.168.1.99.
Pakedge Zone & VLAN Setup New to the SX Series switches are the Pakedge Zones. Pakedge Zones provide a simple way to configure the switch to use the specialized VLAN settings of a Pakedge network. There are two options for configuring the switch using Pakedge Zones.
Then click “Apply” to save that VLAN to the switch. VLAN ID’s 1 - 6 are color coded to match the Pakedge Zones these are used for. To configure ports as different VLANs, use the “Port Assignments” section.

To set ports with the ability to only access a single VLAN, click the VLAN you want to use under “Access”. Then click on the ports above you wish to set with that VLAN. Once you have the ports you want selected, click Apply at the bottom of the page to save those settings. To set ports in Hybrid mode (one Default VLAN and multiple Tagged VLANs), first click the “+”...
Console Into the Switch The SX Series switches have a console port to serve as a back door entrance to the switch. This can be beneficial in case the switch is not functioning properly or if the incorrect IP address was configured.
Resetting IP address through the console You can reset the IP address of the switch through the console. This can be helpful in case of miss- configuration. To do this you will first need to console into the switch as previously described and then take the following steps: Type show ip and press enter to see the current IP address Type configure terminal and press enter...
