2.3 LED Indicators
The switch features LED indicators to provide real-time status information. The LED mode switch allows toggling between two display modes:
| Indicator | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Status LED | On | Device is powered on and operating normally. |
| Port LEDs (Mode 1) | On | Link established. |
| Flashing | Activity (data transmission/reception). | |
| Green | 1000/100/10 Mbps speed. | |
| Port LEDs (Mode 2) | Green | PoE Good Supply (power is being supplied correctly). |
| Flashing | PoE Over Load (power demand exceeds port capacity). |
3. Setup
3.1 Before You Begin
- Ensure the installation environment is dry, well-ventilated, and within the recommended operating temperature range.
- Place the switch on a stable, flat surface or mount it securely using the provided mounting points.
- Verify that the power source meets the voltage requirements (110 Volts AC).
3.2 Hardware Installation
- Connect Power: Connect the provided power adapter to the DC--54V input port on the rear panel of the switch, then plug the adapter into a suitable power outlet. The Status LED should illuminate.
- Connect Network Devices:
- For non-PoE devices (e.g., computers, routers), connect them to any of the 6 RJ45 ports using standard Ethernet cables.
- For PoE-powered devices (e.g., IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points), connect them to ports 1-4. The switch will automatically detect and provide power.
- Verify Connections: Check the LED indicators for each connected port. A solid green light typically indicates a successful link, and flashing indicates data activity. For PoE ports, ensure the PoE Good Supply LED is green.
4. Operating Instructions
The Reyee RG-ES206GC-P is a managed PoE switch, offering advanced network management capabilities in addition to basic plug-and-play functionality. Once hardware installation is complete, the switch will begin forwarding network traffic.
4.1 Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: Simply connect or disconnect the power adapter. There is no separate power button.
- Data Transmission: The switch automatically learns MAC addresses and forwards data frames to the correct destination ports at Gigabit speeds (1000 Mbps).
- PoE Functionality: For devices connected to ports 1-4, the switch automatically detects PoE compatibility and supplies power according to IEEE 802.3af/at standards.
4.2 Network Configuration (Managed Features)
As a managed switch, the RG-ES206GC-P allows for advanced configuration and monitoring through a web-based management interface. For detailed instructions on accessing and configuring features such as VLANs, QoS, port mirroring, and PoE management, please refer to the comprehensive software user guide or the manufacturer's official support website. Typically, you will need to connect a computer to the switch and access its default IP address via a web browser.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris to prevent overheating.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the switch. Do not block the ventilation holes on the sides of the device.
- Firmware Updates: Periodically check the RUIJIE official website for firmware updates. Keeping the firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
- Environmental Conditions: Operate the switch within its specified temperature and humidity ranges to ensure longevity and stable performance.
6. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your Reyee RG-ES206GC-P switch.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power (Status LED off) | Power adapter not connected or faulty; power outlet issue. | Ensure power adapter is securely connected to the switch and a working power outlet. Test the outlet with another device. |
| No link on a port (Port LED off) | Ethernet cable faulty or disconnected; connected device is off or faulty. | Check cable connections at both ends. Try a different Ethernet cable. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly. |
| PoE device not powering on (PoE LED off or flashing) | PoE device not compatible; cable issue; PoE budget exceeded; PoE over load. | Ensure the device is PoE compatible (IEEE 802.3af/at). Check the Ethernet cable. Reduce the number of high-power PoE devices or use a separate power source for some devices if the PoE budget is exceeded. Check PoE LED Mode 2 for 'PoE Over Load' status. |
| Network performance issues | Cable quality; network loop; high network traffic. | Use high-quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or Cat6). Check for accidental network loops. If managed, monitor network traffic and consider QoS settings. |
| Cannot access web management interface | Incorrect IP address; network configuration issue on PC. | Ensure your PC's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch's default IP. Verify the switch's IP address. Try resetting the switch to factory defaults (refer to manufacturer's guide for procedure). |
