4. Setup

The DBIT TXE210 switch is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. Follow these steps to set up your network switch:

4.1 Connecting the Power Adapter

1. Connect the power adapter to the DC 5-20V port on the switch.
2. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Verify that the Power LED on the switch illuminates, indicating it is receiving power.

4.2 Connecting Network Devices

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your router or modem to the Uplink port on the DBIT TXE210 switch.
2. Connect Ethernet cables from your network devices (e.g., desktop computers, laptops, gaming consoles, printers, security cameras) to any of the remaining RJ45 Ports (1-7) on the switch.
3. The corresponding LED indicators for each connected port will light up, confirming an active connection.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Standard Operation

Once the switch is powered on and devices are connected, it operates automatically. The switch intelligently detects the speed and duplex mode of connected devices and adjusts accordingly (10/100/1000Mbps, Full/Half Duplex). Data traffic will flow seamlessly between connected devices and the uplink network.

5.2 VLAN Isolation Mode

The DBIT TXE210 features a One-Key VLAN switch to enable or disable port isolation. When VLAN isolation is enabled, ports 1 through 7 can only communicate with the Uplink port and cannot communicate with each other. This function is useful for improving network performance, enhancing security, and simplifying network management in specific scenarios, such as isolating IP cameras from the main network.

Figure 5.1: Illustration of VLAN isolation mode, where ports 1-7 communicate only with the uplink port, isolating devices from each other.

1. To enable VLAN isolation, slide the "Vlan" switch to the ON position.
2. To disable VLAN isolation and allow all ports to communicate freely, slide the "Vlan" switch to the OFF position.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the switch. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Ventilation: Ensure the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Do not block the ventilation holes.
• Cable Management: Keep Ethernet cables organized to prevent tangles and accidental disconnections.
• Power Cycle: If the switch is unresponsive, disconnect the power adapter, wait 10 seconds, and then reconnect it.
