PoLRE switches are amongst the lowest power consuming switches in the industry and come standard with a hot swappable PowerWise power supply for
power/load sharing. The switch will support either an AC or DC power source.
For a redundant power configuration, daisy-chain multiple PoLRE switches:
You can connect up to a maximum of 4 units for power/load sharing.
• Mount all PoLRE switches in the same equipment rack, with no more than 1U space
between any two units.
Note: You can daisy-chain the units together while they are up and running or power them
up afterward.
• Facing the rear of the units, install the DC cables (available through NVT Phybridge) as
follows:
Note: To fit properly, the DC cable must be inserted into the DC input/output connector
with its hairpin clip on top.
• For the top unit, insert the first cable into the DC input connector on the left until it clicks
into place. Bring the other end of the cable down to the next unit, and connect to the DC
output connector on the right.
• Continue in the same way for each pair of units, connecting the DC input (left) connector
on the upper unit to the DC output (right) connector on the lower unit.
Important: For the bottom unit, the last cable from the DC input (left) connector goes up
to the DC output (right) connector on the top unit. This is required to create a fully
redundant ring.
Note: If you need to move a cable to to a different DC connector on the PoLRE, press the
hairpin clip at the top of the DC cable and pull the cable out.

Changing Management Port Default IP Address
The Mgmt IP default address of 192.168.1.1 may conflict with other PoLRE devices. To avoid this from happening, you must change the IP address of the Mgmt Port to an IP which
will never be used on the network. For example, if your network belongs to the "192.168.X.X" subnet, change the Mgmt Port IP to "10.10.1.1".
Steps to Change the Management Port IP Address:
1. Log into the unit via the serial console port (115200,8,N,1,None).
2. Type in "pal-set-sys-ip mgmt 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.0 10.10.1.255"
Substitute the provided example IP information for your own.
a. The usage is: pal-set-sys-ip mgmt <IPADDRESS> <NETMASK> <BROADCAST>
3. You will be prompted to confirm this information.
4. Refer to the CLI section of the administration guide for more information.

port of the PoLRE. Connect the serial end of the serial
cable to the serial port of your PC.
2. Configure your serial port to 115200/8/N/1.
3. Login is "admin", password is "admin" (without quotes)
4. You are now connected to the CLI via the console port.

NEW: Port Protection & Power Save Features
PoLRE switches now come with port protection and Power
Save features that will automatically enable after 12 hours.
The switch will disable ports that are not in use and will reset
a port if it believes there is a problem. Every 60 seconds, the
switch will scan for new adapters and enable the port when
an adapter is detected.
Steps to Change the IP Address:
1. Click on Ethernet menu option on the top bar.
2. Once Ethernet page is displayed select UPLINK
PORTS.
3. Type in new IP address in the IP Address section for
in-band IP configuration.
4. Type in new Net Mask in the Net Mask section (e.g.
255.255.255.0).
5. Type in new IP address of the system default gateway
in the Default Gateway section.
6. Click Save Changes button to apply the modifications.
7. Refer to admin guide for more software details.
Steps to Change the IP Address:
