3. Seadistamine

The MS116GS switch is designed for easy installation. No software configuration is required.

3.1 Füüsiline paigaldus

1. Paigutus: Place the switch on a stable, flat surface, such as a desktop, or mount it in a rack. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
2. Toiteühendus: Connect the provided power adapter to the switch's power port and then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.
3. Võrguühendused: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, printers, IP cameras, routers) to any of the 16 RJ45 ports using Ethernet cables. The corresponding Link/Act LED for each connected port will light up, indicating an active connection.

3.2 LED indikaatorit

The front panel features LED indicators to monitor the switch's status:

• Toite LED:
  • Sees: lüliti on sisse lülitatud.
  • Väljas: lüliti on välja lülitatud.
• Ühenduse/tegevuse LED-id (iga pordi kohta):
  • On: A device is connected to the corresponding port.
  • Flashing: Data is being transmitted or received through the corresponding port.
  • Väljas: ühtegi seadet pole vastava pordiga ühendatud.

4. Kasutusjuhised

The MS116GS switch operates automatically once connected. It supports two special modes: Isolation Mode and Loop Prevention Mode, which can be activated via physical switches on the device.

Joonis 4.1: Close-up of the mode switches for Isolation and Loop Prevention, located on the right side of the switch.

4.1 Isolatsioonirežiim

Isolation Mode allows for one-click client traffic separation. When enabled, ports 1-14 are isolated from each other, preventing them from communicating directly. All isolated ports can still communicate with ports 15-16 (uplink ports). This mode enhances security and performance by preventing broadcast storms and improving LAN security.

• To enable Isolation Mode: Set the "Isolation" switch to the "On" position.
• To disable Isolation Mode: Set the "Isolation" switch to the "Off" position (Default Mode).

4.2 Loop Prevention Mode

Loop Prevention Mode automatically detects and blocks network loops. A network loop occurs when there are multiple paths between two network devices, which can cause broadcast storms and network instability. When a loop is detected, the switch will block the corresponding port to prevent network disruption.

• To enable Loop Prevention Mode: Set the "Loop Prevention" switch to the "On" position.
• To disable Loop Prevention Mode: Set the "Loop Prevention" switch to the "Off" position (Default Mode).

5. Hooldus

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your MS116GS switch.

• Puhastamine: Puhastage lüliti välispinda regulaarselt pehme ja kuiva lapiga. Ärge kasutage vedelaid ega aerosoolpuhastusvahendeid.
• Ventilatsioon: Ensure that the ventilation holes on the sides of the switch are not obstructed. Proper airflow is crucial for heat dissipation.
• Toiteallikas: Use only the power adapter provided with the switch. Using an incorrect power adapter may damage the device.
• Keskkond: Kasutage lülitit ettenähtud temperatuuri- ja niiskusvahemikus. Vältige selle asetamist otsese päikesevalguse kätte või soojusallikate lähedusse.

6. Veaotsing

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your MS116GS switch.

6.1 Toite LED-tuli ei põle

• Veenduge, et toiteadapter on kindlalt lüliti ja töötava pistikupesaga ühendatud.
• Veenduge, et pistikupesa töötab korralikult, ühendades sellega teise seadme.

6.2 Link/Act LED is Off for a Connected Device

• Kontrollige, et Etherneti kaabel oleks kindlalt ühendatud nii kommutaatori porti kui ka võrguseadmesse.
• Veenduge, et ühendatud seade on sisse lülitatud ja selle võrguadapter töötab korralikult.
• Proovige teist Etherneti kaablit või kommutaatori teist porti.
• Verify that the cable length does not exceed the maximum recommended length (typically 100 meters for Ethernet).

6.3 Aeglane võrgukiirus

• Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) for optimal performance.
• Check for network loops. If Loop Prevention Mode is off, consider enabling it.
• If Isolation Mode is enabled, ensure it is not inadvertently affecting communication between devices that need to interact directly.
• Taaskäivitage lüliti ja ühendatud seadmed.
