Frequently Asked Questions - XT-815A Planet

How do I set up the Planet XT-815A switch?

To set up the switch, connect the power adapter to the switch and a power outlet, then use Ethernet cables to connect your devices (computers, printers, etc.) to the network ports. No configuration is needed for basic operation.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The Power LED lights up when the switch is receiving power. Each Link/Act LED lights up when a device is connected and blinks during data activity.

How do I reset the switch to factory defaults?

The XT-815A is an unmanaged switch and does not have a reset button. To reset, simply power cycle the switch by disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter.

Why is my device not getting power?

Check that the power adapter is securely connected to the switch and a working power outlet. If the Power LED is off, try a different outlet or replace the adapter.

How do I connect multiple devices?

Connect each device to one of the 8 Ethernet ports using Cat5e or Cat6 cables. The switch will automatically detect and connect all devices at the highest speed.

What is the maximum cable length?

For reliable Gigabit Ethernet operation, use cables up to 100 meters (328 feet) in length.

Does the switch support PoE?

No, the Planet XT-815A is a standard switch and does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). Devices requiring PoE need a separate power source or a PoE injector.

How do I update the firmware?

The XT-815A is an unmanaged switch with no web interface. Firmware updates are not user-upgradeable. It operates as-is without configuration.

Why are some ports not working?

Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different port or cable. Check that the connected device is powered on and its network adapter is functioning.

Is the switch wall-mountable?

Yes, the switch has mounting holes on the bottom. You can wall-mount it using suitable screws and anchors (not included).

Warning: Do not install any improper unit.

The device is a power-required device, meaning it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should be active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime.

In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your Media Converter from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the converter or the power adapter.

3. Installation

This section describes the functionalities of the Media Converter's components and guides you to how to install it on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.

3.1 Stand-alone Installation

Step 1: Unpack the Media Converter.

Step 2: Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the XT-815A and verify that the Power LED lights up.

(Please refer to the 2.4 Power Information section for power input.)

Step 3: Prepare a fiber cable for connection to the 10GBASE-X SFP+ slot, and make sure both sides of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type.

(Please refer to the 3.5 Cable Connection section for the type of connection.)

Step 4: Connect the fiber cable. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable to the SFP+ transceiver. Attach the fiber cable from the XT-815A to the fiber network. TX, RX must be paired at both ends.

Step 5: When all the connections are all set and the LED lights all show normal, the installation is completed.

Caution

Never push the converter into the slot with force; it could damage the chassis.
The Media Converter Chassis supports hot-swap; there is no need to turn off the whole chassis before sliding in the new converter.

3.4 Optional DIN-rail Installation

There are two DIN-rail holes on the left side of the XT-815A that allows to be easily installed by DIN-rail mounting. PLANET optional DIN-rail mounting kit – RKE-DIN -- can be ordered separately. Refer to the following steps for the DIN-rail mounting of the XT-815A:

Step 1: Screw the DIN rail on the XT-815A.

PLANT

Step 2: Now slide the DIN rail into the track.

You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.

3.5 Cable Connection

■ Installing the SFP+ Transceiver

The sections describe how to insert an SFP+ transceiver into an SFP+ slot.

MTB Series Transceiver

Figure 3-2: Plug in the SFP+ Transceiver

The SFP+ transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP+ port without having to power down the Media Converter

Planet XT-815A - ■ Installing the SFP+ Transceiver - 2

Note

It is recommended to use PLANET SFP+ transceiver on the Media Converter. If you insert an SFP+ transceiver that is not supported, the Media Converter will not recognize it.

10GBASE-X SR/LR:

Before connecting the other switches, workstation or Media Converter, please do the following:

Make sure both sides of the SFP+ transceiver are with the same media type; for example, 10GBASE-SR to 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR to 10GBASE-LR.
Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches the SFP+ transceiver model.

To connect to 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
To connect to 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.

Connecting the fiber cable

Attach the duplex LC connector of the network cable to the SFP+ transceiver.
Connect the other end of the cable to a device like a switch with SFP+ installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or a Media Converter.

■ Removing the Transceiver Module

Make sure there is no network activity by consulting or checking with the network administrator. Or through the management interface of the switch/converter (if available), disable the port in advance.
Remove the fiber optic cable gently.
Turn the lever of the MTB module to a horizontal position.
Pull out the module gently through the lever.

Planet XT-815A - ■ Removing the Transceiver Module - 2

Note

Never pull out the module without pulling the lever or the push bolts on the module. Directly pulling out the module with effort could damage the module and SFP+ module slot of the Media Converter.

■ 100/1G/2.5G/10GBASE-X

The 100/1G/2.5G/10GBASE-X port comes with auto-negotiation capability. It automatically supports 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-X, 2500BASE-X and 10GBASE-X networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into the 100/1G/2.5G/10GBASE-X port, and then turn on the Media Converter. The port will automatically run at 1000Mbps, 2500Mbps and 10000Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.
