The AXT620 Ethernet Switch is a rugged, rack-mountable 9-port switch that simplifies the networking of Shure systems and minimizes network configuration setup. It is equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports for enabled devices and a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses to components.

⑧ System information sticker |
Displays the MAC address. |
⑨ Reset button |
Reboots the system. If you press the Reset button for over five seconds, the system will reset to factory defaults. |
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the switch.
For proper ventilation, allow about at least four inches (10 cm) of clearance on the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installation.
The switch is managed from an embedded web server, which offers advanced management features and lets you manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard web browser. The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 6.0 or later version.

To configure the switch, you must log into the system via the internet.
From the Main Page, you can navigate to the desired area of interest to configure and manage the switch options.
This option lets you assign the system name, description, physical location, and contact personnel. You can also look up your firmware and kernel version here, as well as the MAC address.
When the DHCP server function is enabled, you can view DHCP client information here.
When you are using multiple switches to manage numerous devices, you can designate one switch to act as the DHCP server. All other switches must be designated as clients with the DHCP server set to OFF.
Only the server can have the DHCP switch set to ON.
In this option, you can change the user name and password of the switch.
In this option, you can update the firmware of the switch. You will need to run a TFTP server on the computer connected to the switch, and then enter the IP address of the computer in the TFTP Server IP Address field. Then enter the name of the firmware file into the 'Firmware File Name' field and click Apply to start the upgrade process. Once the upgrade process is complete, you should click Factory Default on the left-hand side of the Main Page of the switch.
NOTE: Before doing a firmware upgrade, either unplug or power off all devices connected to the AXT620 except the computer.
The switch is a network device and needs to be assigned an IP address for identification on the network.
When making changes to the menu configuration settings, you must click Apply to make the changes to the switch.
In this option, you can manage your Power over Ethernet options. You also can view the system’s real-time total power consumption, output voltage for PoE ports, and the firmware version of the PoE chip.
The switch port can automatically detect straight or crossover cable when linked with other Ethernet devices. For the RJ-45 connector, STP cable, 10/100Mbps port use 2-pairs twisted cable.
Look for loose or faulty connections, and make sure the connections are snug. Lastly, try a different cable.
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive cable length and too many repeaters (hubs) between end nodes. In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two end nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely affect your network performance.

Normal operation of this apparatus requires that power switches, if present, be in the "on" position. A power switch is provided which completely disconnects the apparatus from the AC mains. This results in an "off mode" power consumption well below the threshold required by the Regulation.
