The MS108GS switch is a plug-and-play device, requiring no software configuration. Follow these steps to set up your switch:
- Nkwanye: Place the switch on a flat, stable surface or mount it to a wall using the integrated mounting holes. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
- Njikọ ike: Connect the provided power adapter to the switch's power input port and then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.
- Njikọ netwọk: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, network printers, routers, network-attached storage) to the RJ45 ports (1-8) on the switch using Ethernet cables.
- Nyochaa njikọ: Once connected, the corresponding Link/Act LED for each active port should light up, indicating a successful connection. If the LED is blinking, it indicates data activity.
The switch will automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of connected devices.
