Amer SS2R48G4i Ethernet Switch

Engineered for performance, reliability, and easy administration, the Amer SS2R48G4i is a stackable, managed Layer 2 switch designed to optimize small to mid-size networks. It combines dense access-layer port density with flexible uplink options, delivering dependable Fast Ethernet connectivity for edge devices while providing scalable, centralized management for growing infrastructures. This switch is ideal for office networks, retail environments, and data-center edge deployments where budget-friendly, high-value layer 2 switching is essential. Built to meet IEEE 802.3/u/ab/z gigabit and Fast Ethernet standards, the SS2R48G4i balances affordability with essential enterprise features, empowering IT teams to segment traffic, enforce security, and maintain consistent performance across the network.

  • High port density with flexible uplinks: The Amer SS2R48G4i offers 48 Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps) to connect a wide array of end devices, plus 2 Gigabit RJ45 uplink ports and 2 GbE RJ45/SFP combo ports. This mix provides robust access-layer connectivity while giving you versatile options for uplinking to core switches or routers, whether you need copper or fiber paths. The configuration supports efficient distribution of workstations, printers, cameras, and other office devices on a single, scalable platform.
  • Stackable design for scalable growth: Designed to grow with your network, the SS2R48G4i is stackable to simplify cabling, reduce management overhead, and increase total port capacity without adding a separate core switch. Stacking lets you extend performance across multiple access switches, enabling seamless expansion as your user base and traffic demands rise. With stacking, you can maintain consistent policy enforcement, VLAN segmentation, and QoS across all connected devices, ensuring predictable behavior even as you scale.
  • Managed Layer 2 features for precise traffic control: This is a true managed Layer 2 switch, bringing advanced features such as VLAN tagging, private VLANs, port-based access control, QoS (Quality of Service), traffic shaping, and fast collision domain management. These capabilities help isolate sensitive data, prioritize critical applications (like VoIP or video conferencing), and minimize latency in busy networks. Network administrators can craft precise forwarding rules and security policies to protect assets while maximizing user experience.
  • Reliable, cost-effective performance: The SS2R48G4i is built to deliver dependable, predictable performance at an affordable price point. Its non-blocking or near non-blocking architecture ensures efficient handling of mixed traffic types on the access layer, while the dedicated uplink ports keep core connections clean and fast. This makes it an excellent choice for budget-conscious deployments that still require robust management features and reliable operation.
  • Web-based management with standard network protocols: Management is streamlined through a web-based GUI, with support for industry-standard management protocols such as SNMP. This enables easy configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting from a single interface or via standardized network management tools. With clear status indicators, event logs, and intuitive configuration wizards, IT teams can deploy and maintain the switch with minimal downtime and less administrative overhead.

How to install Amer SS2R48G4i

  • Prepare the installation area: Ensure a clean, ventilated rack room or sturdy surface with adequate airflow. Verify power availability and confirm that you have the required mounting rails or brackets if rack-mounting the switch.
  • Unpack and physically deploy: Remove packaging and inspect the unit for any transit damage. Install the switch in a rack or place it on a stable surface using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the unit is level and has clear access to network and power connections.
  • Power connections: Connect the switch to a suitable power source using the appropriate power cord. Confirm that the outlet provides stable voltage and, if possible, consider a UPS to protect against outages and voltage fluctuations.
  • Initial network connections: Connect your devices to the 48 Fast Ethernet ports for end users, printers, and other devices. Use the 2 GbE RJ45 uplink ports or the 2 GbE RJ45/SFP combo ports to link the switch to the core network or other distribution switches. For fiber uplinks, insert compatible SFP modules into the combo ports as needed.
  • Access management and secure configuration: Discover the switch on your network and access the management interface through the default IP address or through any provided management tool. Create an administrative account, assign a secure password, and configure basic network settings such as management VLAN, IP address, and subnet mask. Proceed to configure VLANs, QoS policies, and security features according to your network design. Save the configuration and document the settings for future reference.
