4. Setup Instructions
4.1 Installazione fisica
- Scegli un locu: Place the switch on a stable, flat surface (desktop), mount it on a wall, or install it in a 19-inch rack using the provided kit. Ensure adequate ventilation around the switch to prevent overheating.
- Cunnessione di putenza: Connect the provided power cord to the AC IN port on the rear panel of the switch and then to a standard AC power outlet (100-240V).
- Cunnessioni di Rete:
- Connect your Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones) to any of the 16 PoE+ ports (ports 1-16) using standard Ethernet cables.
- Connect your network backbone (e.g., router, NVR, main switch) to one of the 2 Gigabit uplink ports (ports 17-18) using a standard Ethernet cable.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Accensione
After connecting the power cord, the switch will automatically power on. The Power LED indicator on the front panel will illuminate, indicating that the device is receiving power.
5.2 Indicatori LED
| Indicatore | Status | Descrizzione |
|---|---|---|
| Power LED | On | L'interruttore hè alimentatu. |
| Link/Act LED (Per Port) | On | Un dispusitivu hè cunnessu à u portu. |
| Flashing | I dati sò trasmessi o ricevuti attraversu u portu. | |
| PoE LED (Per PoE Port) | On | PoE power is being supplied to the connected device. |
| Flashing | PoE power fault or overload detected. |
5.3 Modu VLAN
The switch features a physical VLAN switch on the front panel. When enabled, this mode isolates the PoE ports (ports 1-16) from each other, preventing direct communication between them. All PoE ports can still communicate with the uplink ports (ports 17-18). This feature enhances network security and can improve bandwidth utilization for specific applications like surveillance systems.
- Default (VLAN Disabled): Tutti i porti ponu cumunicà cù l'altri.
- Extend (VLAN Enabled): PoE ports are isolated from each other but can communicate with uplink ports.
