4. Setup
4.1 Power Connection
Connect the provided power cable to the AC input on the rear panel of the switch and then to a standard AC power outlet (100-240V, 50/60Hz).
4.2 Network Connection
- Ethernet Devices: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, routers, NVRs) to ports 1-7 using appropriate Ethernet cables (CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a/7).
- PoE Devices: For Power over Ethernet devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones), connect them to ports 1-7. The switch will automatically detect and provide power to compliant IEEE 802.3af/at/bt devices.
- SFP+ Uplink: Insert a compatible 1G/10G SFP+ optical fiber module into port 8 for fiber optic connections to other network devices or a core switch.

4.3 Initial Web Management Access
To access the switch's web management interface for configuration:
- Connect a computer directly to any Ethernet port (1-7) of the switch.
- Configure your computer's IP address to be in the same subnet as the switch's default IP address. For example, if the switch's default IP is 192.168.2.1, set your computer's IP to 192.168.2.100 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
- Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) and enter the default IP address of the switch: http://192.168.2.1
- When prompted, enter the default username: admin and default password: admin.
- You will then access the web management interface to configure the switch.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Web Management Interface
The web management interface provides comprehensive control over the switch's functions. After logging in, you can configure various Layer 2 features to optimize your network.
Overview of Lite L2 Management Features.
- VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network): Configure 802.1Q Tag-based VLANs to segment your network, creating virtual boundaries for improved security and traffic management without additional hardware.

- QoS (Quality of Service): Prioritize network traffic to ensure critical applications like audio and video receive sufficient bandwidth, reducing packet loss and latency.

- Link Aggregation (LACP): Increase bandwidth and improve network resilience by grouping multiple physical Ethernet links into a single logical channel.

- Loop Detection: Automatically detect and prevent network loops, which can cause broadcast storms and network instability, ensuring smooth network operation.

- Other Features: The web interface also allows configuration of ACLs, Storm Control, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP), Port Mirroring, Port Isolation, Port Rate-limit, Port Security, and SNMP for comprehensive network management.
5.2 PoE Port Configuration
Within the web management interface, you can monitor the real-time power supply status of each PoE port (1-7) and configure individual PoE settings as needed. This includes enabling or disabling PoE for specific ports and viewing power consumption.
5.3 SFP+ Port Usage
The 10Gbps SFP+ port (Port 8) supports standard SFP optical modules (1G/10G) without encryption. This allows for flexible fiber optic connections using multi-mode, single-mode, or SFP to RJ45 modules (modules not included by default).
6. Maintenance
6.1 Saving Configuration
After making any changes to the switch's settings via the web management interface, it is crucial to navigate to the "Save" option within the menu and confirm to permanently apply the configuration. Changes not explicitly saved will revert to the previous state or default settings upon a device reboot or power cycle.
6.2 Heat Dissipation
The switch is equipped with a smart fan system designed for efficient heat dissipation, ensuring stable and reliable operation. To maintain optimal performance, ensure that the switch is placed in a location with adequate airflow and that its ventilation openings are not obstructed.
7. Troubleshooting
- Switch Unreachable After IP Change: If the switch becomes inaccessible after modifying its IP address, ensure your computer's IP address is configured within the same subnet as the new switch IP. You may also need to clear the ARP cache on your computer. If the configuration was not saved, power cycling the switch will revert it to the default IP address (192.168.2.1).
- Unstable Power Connection: Ensure the power cable is firmly connected to both the switch's AC input and the power outlet. A loose connection can lead to unexpected reboots or intermittent operation.
- VLAN Configuration Issues: If VLANs are not functioning as expected, carefully review all VLAN settings in the web interface. Verify port assignments, tagging, and trunk configurations. For complex issues, consult the official MokerLink support resources.
- No Link or Data Transmission:
- Check all Ethernet and SFP+ cable connections for proper seating and integrity.
- Observe the port LEDs. A flashing LED indicates active data transmission. If the LED is off, there might be a link issue.
- Confirm that connected devices are powered on and operating correctly.
- For PoE devices, ensure they are compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards and that the total power consumption does not exceed the switch's 260W power budget.
