6. Operating Instructions

The NetVanta 1560-48 is a managed switch, offering various configuration and monitoring options.

6.1 Initial Access

The switch can be accessed via a Command Line Interface (CLI) through the console port or via a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI).

• CLI Access: Connect a serial cable from your computer to the switch's console port. Use a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY) with settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
• Web GUI Access: By default, the switch may obtain an IP address via DHCP or have a default static IP. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for the default IP address or DHCP discovery method. Access the GUI by entering the switch's IP address into a web browser.

6.2 Basic Configuration

Upon initial access, it is recommended to:

• Change the default administrator password.
• Configure the management IP address.
• Set the system time and date.
• Enable necessary management protocols (e.g., SNMP, SSH, HTTPS).

6.3 PoE Operation

The switch provides 740 Watts of total PoE+ power. Connected PoE-compatible devices will automatically receive power upon connection, provided the port is enabled for PoE and sufficient power is available.

• Monitor PoE status via the front panel LEDs or the management interface.
• Configure PoE settings (e.g., power priority, power limits) through the switch's management interface.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your switch.

7.1 Firmware Updates

Periodically check the ADTRAN support website for the latest firmware versions. Firmware updates can provide new features, performance enhancements, and security patches. Follow the instructions provided with the firmware package for a safe update process.

7.2 Cleaning

• Ensure the switch is powered off and disconnected from the power source before cleaning.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the switch.
• Use compressed air to clear dust from ventilation openings and ports.
• Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

7.3 Environmental Considerations

Maintain the operating environment within specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent hardware failure.

8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.
