3. សេចក្តីណែនាំប្រតិបត្តិការ

The SMCFS8 is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without requiring user configuration. Once connected, it functions as a central connection point for your wired network devices.

3.1 ការបញ្ជូនទិន្នន័យ

The switch uses a buffered store-and-forward architecture to ensure data integrity. This means the switch receives the entire data packet, checks it for errors, and then forwards it to the correct destination port. Flow control mechanisms are also in place to prevent packet loss during periods of high network traffic.

3.2 សូចនាករ LED

The front panel of the SMCFS8 features LED indicators for each port and for power status. These LEDs provide visual feedback on the switch's operational status:

• ថាមពល LED៖ បំភ្លឺនៅពេលដែលកុងតាក់ត្រូវបានបើក។
• ភ្ជាប់/ធ្វើសកម្មភាព LEDs (ក្នុងមួយច្រក):
  • Solid Green: Indicates a successful network link connection.
  • Flashing Green: Indicates active data transmission or reception on that port.
  • Off: No device is connected or the connected device is not powered on.

4. ការថែទាំ

The SMCFS8 switch requires minimal maintenance due to its unmanaged design and robust construction.
