4. Opstelinstruksies

4.1 Fisiese installasie

1. Kies 'n ligging: Place the switch on a stable, flat surface (desktop), mount it on a wall, or install it in a 19-inch rack using the provided kit. Ensure adequate ventilation around the switch to prevent overheating.
2. Kragverbinding: Connect the provided power cord to the AC IN port on the rear panel of the switch and then to a standard AC power outlet (100-240V).
3. Netwerkverbindings:
   • Connect your Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones) to any of the 16 PoE+ ports (ports 1-16) using standard Ethernet cables.
   • Connect your network backbone (e.g., router, NVR, main switch) to one of the 2 Gigabit uplink ports (ports 17-18) using a standard Ethernet cable.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies

5.1 Skakel aan

After connecting the power cord, the switch will automatically power on. The Power LED indicator on the front panel will illuminate, indicating that the device is receiving power.

5.3 VLAN-modus

The switch features a physical VLAN switch on the front panel. When enabled, this mode isolates the PoE ports (ports 1-16) from each other, preventing direct communication between them. All PoE ports can still communicate with the uplink ports (ports 17-18). This feature enhances network security and can improve bandwidth utilization for specific applications like surveillance systems.

• Default (VLAN Disabled): Alle hawens kan met mekaar kommunikeer.
• Extend (VLAN Enabled): PoE ports are isolated from each other but can communicate with uplink ports.

6. Onderhoud

• Skoonmaak: Gebruik 'n sagte, droë lap om die buitekant van die skakelaar skoon te maak. Moenie vloeibare of aërosol skoonmaakmiddels gebruik nie.
• Ventilasie: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked. Maintain adequate space around the switch for proper airflow.
• Omgewingstoestande: Operate the switch within the specified temperature and humidity ranges (refer to Specifications section).
• Firmware -opdaterings: As an unmanaged switch, firmware updates are typically not required.
