Alta Labs
LED
The Alta Labs LED flashes as the unit is powered up. Once fully booted, the
LED will remain lit unless turned off in the UI. The LED color can also be
changed in the management interface.
Ports and LEDs
Ports 1-16 support 802.3at PoE+ with up to 30W per port and a PoE budget of
240 Watts. These ports are standard Gigabit Ethernet ports that support
10/100/1000 Mbps connections.
The Link LED on the left indicates a 10/100 Mbps connection when amber, blue
indicates a 1 Gbps connection, and if not illuminated, the connection is down.
The PoE LED on the right will illuminate amber when a device connected to the
port is being powered via Ethernet.
Ports 17-24 are standard Gigabit Ethernet ports that support 10/100/1000
Mbps connections.
The Link LED indicates a 10/100 Mbps connection when amber, blue indicates a 1
Gbps connection, and if not illuminated, the connection is down.
The
SFP+ Ports support fiber optic and Ethernet transceivers with 1 Gbps, 2.5
Gbps, 5 Gbps, or 10 Gbps connections.
The Link LED on the left will illuminate blue when there is a 1 Gbps, 2.5
Gbps, or 5 Gbps connection, it will illuminate white with a 10 Gbps
connection.
The Activity LED on the right flashes blue when there is activity on a 1
Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, or 5 Gbps connection. It will flash white if there is 10 Gbps
network activity.

Hardware Installation
Rackmount Installation
- Connect the two Rack Ears to both sides of the switch using the eight Rack Ear Screws.
Note the cooling vents remain exposed with the Rack Ears connected.
- Ensure the arrow on the back of the Rackstud DUO stud is pointing up.
- Insert the Rackstud DUO stud at the beginning of the RU space just below the thin area.
- Compress the spring and insert the Rackstud DUO stud from behind the rail.
- Repeat the same procedure on the opposite rail on the rack.
- Slide the switch over the Rackstud DUO stud and apply pressure to the front face while installing the Rackstud DUO nuts to the bottom on both sides of the switch.
- Connect the top Rackstud DUO nuts on both sides of the switch.
Mounting On A Wall
- Connect the two Rack Ears to both sides of the switch using the eight Rack Ear Screws. Be sure to orient the Rack Ears so the openings face the wall.
- Use wall screws and anchors (not included) to secure both sides of the switch to the wall.
Connecting Devices
- Connect devices that need Power over Ethernet to any of the first sixteen ports. The ports are autosensing. Devices that do not require power can be connected to any of the 24 ports.
- Follow the instructions included with your transceivers to connect them to the SFP+ ports. If not using the ports, be sure to place the SFP+ Port Plugs over the ports.
Set Up Your Device
- Follow the instructions in the Alta app or management interface to set up your switch.
