4.1 Nwụnye anụ ahụ

1. Họrọ ebe: 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.
2. Njikọ ike: 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).
3. Njikọ netwọk:
   • 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.

5.3 VLAN mode

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.
