1. Switch Unboxing

The product outer packaging is printed with the Araknis logo and device model. It is uncommon to print the model directly on the box; most manufacturers attach a label to indicate the model instead.

Figure 1 Product Outer Packaging

The package includes the main unit with built-in power supply and complete accessories: mounting screws, angle brackets, non-slip pads, user manual and power cord.

2. System Access and Function Verification

Connect the power cord to power on the device. The switch runs quietly without obvious fan noise. LED status indicators on both front and rear panels allow users to quickly check link operating status.

Figure 5 Device Power-On Status

Connect a PC to the switch via an Ethernet cable.

Default management IP: 192.168.20.254

Default username / password: araknis / araknis

Log in to the web management interface. The login page directly displays the device model. Note that the default management IP varies for different Araknis product models.

Figure 6 Web Login Interface

Insert Moduletek SFP-GE-LX optical module into the Araknis AN-310-SW-R-8-PoE switch and connect fiber patch cords. The module links up normally and the port indicator lights up.

In the web GUI, navigate to STATUS → PORTS to view interface status, speed, duplex mode, as well as transmit and receive data statistics.

This switch does not support optical module identity recognition or DDM data display.

3. Switch Disassembly

Remove the top cover of the switch. Its internal structure is divided into three parts:

• Main PCB motherboard integrated with core chips, resistors, heat dissipation and other components;

• LED control board;

• Power supply board with an independently mounted cooling fan.

Figure 8 Device Internal Structure

Remove the heatsink to reveal the main switching chip: Realtek RTL8380M.

It is a 10-port Gigabit wire-speed forwarding controller, supporting 8 ports of 10/100/1000M Ethernet PHY and 2 ports of SGMII / 1000Base-X.
