4.3 Initial Web Management Access
To access the web management interface, follow these steps:
- Clear your web browser's cache to ensure a fresh connection.
- Adjust your PC's network settings. You may need to manually set your PC's IPv4 address to be in the same subnet as the switch (e.g., if the switch's default IP is 192.168.2.1, set your PC's IP to 192.168.2.X, where X is not 1, and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0).
- Open a web browser and navigate to the default IP address: http://192.168.2.1.
- Enter the default login credentials:
- Username: admin
- Password: admin

5. Operation
5.1 Configuring Port Settings
The web management interface allows you to configure various settings for each port, including transmission speed.
- Log in to the web interface.
- Navigate to the "Port Setting" section.
- Select the desired port and choose the appropriate speed (e.g., 10M, 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, 10G) and duplex mode (Auto, Full, Half).
- Click "Apply" to save the changes.
- After applying settings, ensure you save the configuration and reboot the switch for changes to take effect.

7. Troubleshooting
- No Power: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Check the power indicator light on the switch.
- No Network Connection:
- Verify that Ethernet cables are properly connected to both the switch and your devices.
- Check the link/activity LEDs on the ports. If they are off, try a different cable or port.
- Ensure your device's network adapter is enabled and configured correctly.
- Cannot Access Web Management Interface:
- Confirm your PC's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch (default 192.168.2.1).
- Try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser.
- Ensure there are no IP address conflicts on your network.
- If the default IP has been changed and forgotten, a factory reset may be necessary (refer to the reset button in Section 4.2).
- Slow Network Speed:
- Verify that all connected devices and cables support the desired speed (e.g., 10Gbps).
- Check port speed settings in the web management interface (Section 5.1).
- Ensure the switch is adequately cooled and not overheating.
- Device Malfunction: If the switch exhibits unusual behavior, try rebooting it. If the issue persists, perform a factory reset. If problems continue, contact customer support.
