Preparing for Access
IP Addressing
If the AMS-1208P is connected to a network with a 192.168.0.X address
scheme, and your computer shares a similar address on the same network,
you can skip to the next step,
Access and Setup
.
n
Note:
If another device on your network shares the 192.168.0.3
address, you’ll need to temporarily reassign or remove that
device while you configure the AMS-1208P.
If your network uses an address scheme other than 192.168.0.X, you’ll need
to set a temporary static IP address on the computer you’re using for
configuration. To do so, set the IP address of your computer to an address
in the 192.168.0.X range, then set the Gateway/Router address to 192.168.0.3
(the default IP address of the AMS-1208P).
Once you’re finished configuring the switch, you can return your comput-
er’s IP configuration to normal, typically “Obtain Automatically/DHCP.”

AMS-1208P Front Panel View
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the AMS-1208P Switch includes 1 console port, 10 Gigabit RJ-45
ports and 2 Gigabit SFP ports, as well as LED status indicators for each port. A
mode/reset button switches the display between Link/Activity and PoE modes,
while the Blue/Green toggle switches the front-panel LED indicator color.

LED Indicators
The LED indicators on the AMS-1208P include System, Link/Act and PoE LEDs,
and an LED for each port. These LED indicators show the operating status of
the AMS-1208P and each port connection.
Mode/Reset Button to Change LED Functionality
Tapping the Mode/Reset button briefly switches the port indicators between
displaying port link speed and PoE status.
The following chart shows the LED indicators of the AMS-1208P along with an
explanation of the indicator’s properties:

With the AMS-1208P powered on, press
the Reset button for approximately three seconds until the Link/Act and
PoE LEDs both light, then release the button.
c
CAUTION:
Do not hold the button for more than four seconds.
Doing so could erase all settings and restore
factory defaults.
