5. Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your VEDINDUST LAN Splitter:

1. Connect Power: Connect the provided USB-C power cable to the USB 5V port on the splitter and plug the other end into a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). Note: The splitter requires external power to function.
2. Connect Network Input: Connect an Ethernet cable from your network source (e.g., router, broadband modem, existing Ethernet switch, network wall socket) to the 'LAN IN' port on the splitter.
3. Connect Output Devices: Connect Ethernet cables from your desired devices (e.g., computers, TV boxes, gaming consoles) to the 'OUT1', 'OUT2', and 'OUT3' ports on the splitter.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the splitter is correctly set up and powered, it will automatically distribute the network connection to the connected devices. The LED indicators next to each output port will illuminate to show an active connection.

• Network Speed: The splitter supports a maximum input speed of 1000 Mbps. When multiple devices are connected, the 1000 Mbps bandwidth is shared among them. If only one device is connected, it can utilize the full 1000 Mbps bandwidth (assuming your network source also supports this speed).
• LED Indicators: Observe the green LED indicators for each output port. A lit LED indicates an active network connection for that port.

7. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your LAN splitter, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
•  style="font-weight: bold;">Placement: Place the splitter in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture.
•  style="font-weight: bold;">Cable Management: Ensure all connected Ethernet and power cables are not kinked or strained.
•  style="font-weight: bold;">Power Cycle: If experiencing minor issues, disconnect the USB power cable for 10 seconds and then reconnect it to perform a power cycle.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems with your LAN splitter, refer to the following common issues and solutions:

• No Network Connection:
  • Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected to both the splitter and a working power source. The splitter requires power to operate.
  • Verify that the Ethernet cable from your network source is securely connected to the 'LAN IN' port.
  • Check that the Ethernet cables to your output devices are securely connected to 'OUT1', 'OUT2', or 'OUT3'.
  • Confirm that your network source (router, modem) is functioning correctly.
• Slow Network Speed:
  • Remember that the 1000 Mbps bandwidth is shared among all connected devices. Performance may decrease if multiple devices are actively using the network simultaneously.
  • Ensure your input Ethernet cable and all output cables are rated for Gigabit Ethernet (Cat5e or Cat6).
  • Check your internet service provider's speed and your router's capabilities.
• LED Indicators Not Lit:
  • Confirm the splitter is receiving power via the USB-C cable.
  • Ensure the Ethernet cables are properly seated in their respective ports.
  • Try using different Ethernet cables to rule out cable defects.
