2. Safety Information

• Electrical Safety: Ensure the power source matches the voltage requirements of the switch (240 Volts). Use only the provided power cord or an approved replacement. Do not operate the device with a damaged power cord or plug.
• Ventilation: Maintain adequate airflow around the switch to prevent overheating. Do not block ventilation openings.
• Environment: Install the switch in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive dust or moisture.
• Grounding: Ensure the device is properly grounded to prevent electrical shock.
• Servicing: Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself.

3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully unpack the switch and verify that all components are present. Retain the packaging materials for future transport or storage.

3.2 Physical Installation

The NetVanta 1560-08-150W switch can be installed in a desktop, wall-mount, or rack-mount configuration. Ensure the chosen location provides adequate ventilation and access to power and network cabling.

• Desktop: Place the switch on a flat, stable surface.
• Wall-mount/Rack-mount: Use the appropriate mounting hardware (sold separately) and follow the instructions provided with the kit.

3.3 Connecting Power

1. Connect the power cord to the power inlet on the rear panel of the switch.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
3. The switch will power on automatically. Observe the System LED on the front panel.

3.4 Connecting Network Cables

Connect Ethernet devices (computers, servers, access points) to the 10/100/1000Base-T access ports using standard RJ-45 Ethernet cables. For uplink connections to other network devices, use the SFP/RJ45 combo 1GigE uplink ports.

Figure 1: Front panel of the ADTRAN NetVanta 1560-08-150W switch. This image displays the front panel of the ADTRAN NetVanta 1560-08-150W switch. It features 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 2 SFP/RJ45 combo uplink ports, a console port, a micro USB port, and LED indicators for system status, link/activity/speed, and PoE.

3.5 Initial Configuration Access

The switch can be configured via the Command Line Interface (CLI) using the console port or through the Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI).

• CLI Access: Connect a console cable from your computer to the switch's console port. Use a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY) with appropriate settings (typically 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control).
• Web GUI Access: Connect a computer to any Ethernet port on the switch. The switch will typically obtain an IP address via DHCP or use a default IP address. Refer to the ADTRAN documentation for the default IP address and login credentials.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On/Off

Once connected to power, the switch will automatically power on. To power off, disconnect the power cord. There is no dedicated power button.

4.2 LED Indicators

The front panel LEDs provide status information:

• SYSTEM LED: Indicates overall system status (e.g., solid green for normal operation).
• LINK/ACT/SPD LEDs (per port): Indicate link status, activity, and speed for each Ethernet port.
• PoE LED (per port): Indicates Power over Ethernet status for ports supporting PoE/PoE+.

4.3 Management Interfaces

• Command Line Interface (CLI): Provides full control over the switch's features. Accessible via the console port (RJ-45) or SSH.
• Web Graphical User Interface (GUI): Offers an intuitive web-based interface for configuration and monitoring. Accessible via a web browser.
• SNMP: Supports network management systems for monitoring and configuration.

4.4 Key Features

• VLANs (802.1Q): Segment network traffic for improved security and performance.
• Quality of Service (QoS): Prioritize critical traffic like Voice over IP (VoIP) for optimal performance.
• Link Aggregation (802.3ad LACP): Combine multiple physical links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth and redundancy.
• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP, RSTP): Prevent network loops and provide path redundancy.
• IGMP Snooping: Optimize multicast traffic delivery.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+): Deliver power to compatible devices (e.g., IP phones, wireless access points) directly over Ethernet cables. The switch provides up to 30 watts per port, with a maximum of 150 watts for the entire switch.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Firmware Updates

Periodically check the ADTRAN support website for the latest firmware updates. Keeping the firmware current ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features. Follow the instructions provided with the firmware update package carefully.

5.2 Cleaning

To clean the exterior of the switch, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, as they may damage the device. Ensure ventilation openings remain clear of dust and debris.

5.3 Environmental Considerations

Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent damage and ensure reliable operation.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the ADTRAN NetVanta 1560-08-150W switch.

6.1 No Power

• Verify the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and a working electrical outlet.
• Check the power outlet with another device to ensure it is functional.
• Ensure the System LED on the front panel is illuminated.

6.2 No Link on Port

• Check the Ethernet cable connection at both ends (switch port and connected device).
• Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
• Try a different Ethernet cable or switch port.
• Verify the Link/Act/SPD LED for the specific port.

6.3 Network Connectivity Issues

• Confirm IP address settings on the switch and connected devices.
• Check VLAN configurations if network segmentation is in use.
• Verify gateway and DNS settings.
• Consult the ADTRAN documentation for advanced diagnostics.

6.4 Resetting the Switch

The switch may have a reset button (often recessed) on the front or rear panel. Refer to the device's specific documentation for instructions on performing a factory reset, as this will erase all configurations.
