Be aware that some Switches do not have an administrative account or may use a different User
Name and Password than above. See your Switch manual for specific technical information. If
the User Name and Password are changed from their factory default, Avtron recommends
using:
User Name: avtron
Password: 64183
Once logged in via the provided serial cable, an IP address can be assigned to the Switch such
that the Web-based configuration can be utilized. Many Switch manufacturers allow creation of
separate user accounts with different privilege levels. In general, the default Switch
configuration settings are used. The 'admin' will usually always get you in. After the initial
setup of Switch IP Address via the serial cable, the Switch can be accessed by typing the IP
Address as the URL in Internet Explorer.
Switch ports labeled with an X are internally crossed over. When connecting two devices, a
straight through cable is used if only one device has an X. If both or neither device have an X, a
Crossover cable is required. Your computer network port is not internally crossed over. Straight
through CAT5 cables are used to connect your ADDAPT computer, X-link, PLC, HMI
Operator Displays, Performance View, etc., to a Switch, but not to each other. Crossover cables
are used to connect your computer directly to a PLC, Xlink, or even another computer or to
connect two or more Switches together. Two Switches should be connected by Fiber Optic
cable and simply swap connections at one end. This generally requires popping the halves of
one end out of a clip, swapping, and reattaching the clip.
Ethernet Switches can be provided with a combination of both 100 MHz base Fiber Optic and
10/100 MHz UTP Copper ports with the following specifications:
100baseTX, CAT5 cable, RJ45 connector (RJ21 for mini) max length 100m
100baseFX, fiber optic, 2km full duplex (multimode cable 412m half duplex,
singlemode 10km+)
For Switches that provide diagnostics using a web browser, start Internet Explorer from
Windows using the ADDAPT or PLC computer on the network. Type the Switch’s IP Address
on the Address Line. Enter User Name and Password if required for access to the Switch
Diagnostics. You may want to create a shortcut on your desktop for faster future access to the
Switch’s Diagnostics.

The Avtron ADDvantage-32 PLUS is a high performance and highly configurable digital drive
with resident capability to perform drive control functions locally utilizing a PLC for operator
interface, process I/O, and permissive logic. The PLC is not burdened with time critical and
