3. Impostazione
3.1 Collegamento dell'alimentazione
- Connect the provided power cable to the power input on the back of the switch.
- Collegare l'altra estremità del cavo di alimentazione a una presa di corrente CA standard.
- The Power (PWR) indicator on the front panel will illuminate, indicating the switch is receiving power.
3.2 Collegamento dei dispositivi di rete
- Connect PoE-compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones) to ports 1-8 using Ethernet cables. These ports will provide both data and power.
- Connect non-PoE devices (e.g., routers, NVRs, computers) to the uplink ports 9-10 using Ethernet cables. These ports are for data transmission only.
- Assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti dei cavi siano sicuri.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso
The VIMIN 10-Port Gigabit PoE Switch is a plug-and-play device. Basic operation requires no configuration. Advanced features can be enabled using the DIP switches located on the front panel.
4.1 Understanding DIP Switch Modes
The switch features a set of DIP switches (labeled 1-4) to activate specific functions:
- DIP Switch 1: LPP Ring & BSP Broadcast Storm Protection
When enabled, this feature provides ring protection and broadcast storm protection. If a network link is disrupted, the switch automatically reroutes traffic to maintain network operation. - DIP Switch 2: Extend 250m
Enables extended transmission mode, allowing data to be transmitted up to 250 meters. In this mode, the data rate for ports 1-8 is reduced to 10Mbps. - DIP Switch 3: VLAN
Activates VLAN port isolation. Ports 1-8 are isolated from each other, preventing direct communication between them, but they can still communicate with the uplink ports (9-10). This enhances network security and optimizes bandwidth. - DIP Switch 4: AI Watchdog
Enables AI Watchdog mode. The switch monitors PoE-powered devices on ports 1-8. If a device becomes unresponsive or loses connection, the switch automatically restarts power to that port, restoring functionality.

4.2 Activating DIP Switch Functions
To activate a specific function, move the corresponding DIP switch to the 'ON' position. To deactivate, move it to the 'OFF' position. It is recommended to adjust DIP switches when the switch is powered off to avoid potential network disruptions.
5. Manutenzione
- Pulizia: Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per pulire l'esterno dell'interruttore. Non utilizzare detergenti liquidi o spray.
- Ventilazione: Ensure the ventilation holes on the switch are not obstructed to prevent overheating.
- Ambiente: Operate the switch in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture.
- Gestione dei cavi: Keep network cables organized and free from kinks or excessive bends to ensure optimal performance.
6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Nessuna spia di alimentazione | Cavo di alimentazione non collegato o presa di corrente difettosa. | Controllare il collegamento del cavo di alimentazione. Provare una presa di corrente diversa. |
| Device connected to PoE port is not receiving power or data | Device is not PoE compatible (IEEE 802.3af/at). Guasto del cavo. Total power budget exceeded. AI Watchdog mode needs to reset the device. | Ensure device supports IEEE 802.3af/at. Test with a different Ethernet cable. Check total power consumption of connected devices. Verify AI Watchdog is enabled or manually restart the switch. |
| Network devices cannot communicate with each other (on ports 1-8) | VLAN mode is enabled. | Check DIP Switch 3. If VLAN is enabled, ports 1-8 are isolated. Disable VLAN mode if direct communication is required. |
| Slow network speed for devices on ports 1-8 | Extend 250m mode is enabled. | Check DIP Switch 2. If extended mode is enabled, speed is reduced to 10Mbps. Disable if not needed for long-distance connections. |
| Intermittent network connection | Collegamenti dei cavi allentati. Interferenza ambientale. LPP/BSP feature not enabled. | Ensure all cables are securely connected. Relocate the switch away from strong electromagnetic sources. Consider enabling LPP/BSP for network redundancy. |
