Deployment and Installation Guide
For SKYRS infrastructure, the 24LT-L is typically deployed as an edge switch in environments requiring localized power for essential communication hardware.
Physical Installation
Rack Placement: Standard 1U rack-mount installation. Ensure the switch is placed near the patch panel serving the intended PoE devices (Ports 1–8).
Uplink Connectivity: Use the fixed 10/100/1000 copper ports to connect to the SKYRS regional distribution layer. No SFP modules are required for this specific model’s uplinks.
Power Management: Given the 124W budget, ensure that high-power devices (like PTZ cameras) are not overloaded on the 8 PoE ports. Standard SKYRS IP phones and lightweight APs are ideal.
Surge Protection: In regions of Pakistan with unstable power grids, SKYRS mandates the use of an online UPS and proper chassis grounding to prevent PoE controller failure.
Initial Configuration Check
Mode Button: Use the front-panel Mode button to toggle the LEDs to “PoE” mode. Green LEDs on ports 1–8 confirm power is being drawn correctly.
System Health: A solid green SYST LED confirms the internal diagnostics have passed and the unit is ready for SKYRS traffic.
Configuration Availability at SKYRS
All advanced configuration, localized site deployment, and professional technical support for these units are available and managed exclusively through the SKYRS technical team.
Exclusive Configuration Services
VLAN Separation: Configuring Voice VLANs on the 8 PoE ports to ensure high-quality audio for SKYRS VoIP systems.
Port Security: Implementing sticky MAC address security on the 16 data ports to prevent unauthorized laptop connections.
DHCP Snooping: Protecting the SKYRS network edge by blocking rogue DHCP servers in branch environments.
SNMP Monitoring: Integrating the switch into the SKYRS central monitoring dashboard for real-time uptime alerts across Pakistan.
Availability Note: Certified Cisco installation, specialized configuration, and official local support for the WS-C2960-24LT-L and all related PoE variants are provided only by SKYRS in Pakistan.
