Configuration Options

This 24-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch switch includes a built-in network management agent. The agent offers a variety of management options, including SNMP, RMON and a Web-based interface. A PC may also be connected directly to the switch for configuration and monitoring via a command line interface (CLI).

The IP address for this switch is assigned via DHCP by default. To change this address, see Setting an IP Address section on page 13.

The switch’s HTTP Web agent allows you to configure switch parameters, monitor port connections, and display statistics graphically using a standard Web browser such as Netscape Navigator version 6.2 and higher or Microsoft IE version 5.0 and higher. The switch’s Web management interface can be accessed from any computer attached to the network.

The CLI program can be accessed by a direct connection to the RS-232 serial console port on the switch, or remotely by a Telnet connection over the network.

The switch’s management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) versions 1, 2 and

3.This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any system in the network using management software.

The switch’s CLI configuration program, Web interface, and SNMP agent allow you to perform the following management functions:

Set user names and passwords

Control port access through IEEE 802.1x security or static address filtering

Set an IP interface for a management VLAN

Configure SNMP parameters

Enable/disable any port

Set the speed/duplex mode for any port

Power attached devices using IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Configure the bandwidth of any port by rate limiting

Configure up to 255 IEEE 802.1Q VLANs

Enable GVRP automatic VLAN registration

Configure IGMP multicast filtering

Upload and download system firmware via TFTP

Upload and download switch configuration files via TFTP

Configure Spanning Tree parameters

Configure Class of Service (CoS) priority queuing

Configure up to six static or LACP trunks

Filter packets using Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Enable port mirroring

Set broadcast storm control on any port

Display system information and statistics

NXA-ENET24 specifications

The AMX NXA-ENET24 is a versatile and powerful networked control interface designed to meet the growing demands of modern AV systems. This network switch offers an exceptional combination of reliability, performance, and scalability, making it an ideal choice for professional environments such as conference rooms, educational facilities, and control rooms.

One of the key features of the NXA-ENET24 is its 24-port configuration, allowing for extensive connectivity options. Each port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, ensuring that high bandwidth applications are handled with ease. Additionally, the switch incorporates advanced auto-negotiation technology, which automatically configures the optimal speed and duplex mode for connected devices. This ensures seamless connectivity and minimizes the risk of network disruptions.

The NXA-ENET24 is designed with advanced management capabilities, including support for VLANs, which helps to segment network traffic for enhanced security and performance. Network administrators can easily create virtual local area networks to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where multiple AV systems operate concurrently.

Another significant characteristic of the NXA-ENET24 is its support for Power over Ethernet, or PoE. This feature enables the switch to deliver electrical power alongside data through the network cables. As a result, devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points can be powered directly from the switch, simplifying deployment and reducing the need for additional power sources.

Monitoring and management of the switch are made easier through a user-friendly interface. The NXA-ENET24 supports SNMP for network management, allowing users to monitor performance metrics, configure settings, and receive alerts in case of issues. This level of oversight is crucial for maintaining the stability of AV systems in mission-critical applications.

Durability is another hallmark of the NXA-ENET24 design. The switch features a robust chassis that is engineered to withstand the rigors of professional use. With cooling mechanisms in place and a fanless design, the NXA-ENET24 operates quietly and efficiently, making it suitable for environments where noise is a concern.

In conclusion, the AMX NXA-ENET24 is a powerful, reliable, and feature-rich network switch that effectively supports modern AV applications. With its extensive connectivity options, advanced management capabilities, PoE support, and durable design, it is an excellent choice for integrators and organizations looking to optimize their network infrastructure.
