4.3 Njikọ netwọkụ

The VIMIN VM-GS1620 is a Plug and Play device, requiring no software configuration for basic operation.

1. Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, printers, IP cameras, access points) to any of the Gigabit Ports 1-16 using standard Ethernet cables.
2. Connect your router or main network backbone to one of the Uplink Ports 17-18.
3. Once a device is connected and powered on, the corresponding Link/Act LED for that port will illuminate, indicating a successful connection and activity.

5.1 Basic Arụmọrụ

Once the switch is powered on and devices are connected, the VIMIN VM-GS1620 operates automatically. It functions as an unmanaged switch, forwarding data packets between connected devices at Gigabit speeds without requiring any user configuration.

5.2 One Key VLAN Mode

The switch features a physical VLAN switch on the front panel. This function allows you to quickly enable or disable VLAN isolation.

• VLAN OFF (Default): All ports (1-18) operate as a standard switch, allowing all connected devices to communicate with each other.
• VLAN ON: When the VLAN switch is set to ON, ports 1-16 are isolated from each other. Devices connected to ports 1-16 can only communicate with the uplink ports (17-18) and not directly with other devices on ports 1-16. This enhances network security and can improve bandwidth utilization by preventing broadcast storms within the isolated segments.

  • Nyochaa na agbanyere ngwaọrụ ejikọrọ ma na-arụ ọrụ nke ọma.
• Ọsọ netwọk dị nwayọ:
  • Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet (Cat5e or higher).
  • Lelee maka okporo ụzọ netwọk gabigara ókè ma ọ bụ ngwa bandwidth na-akpa ike.
  • Consider enabling VLAN mode if network segmentation is desired to reduce broadcast domains.
• Devices Cannot Communicate (VLAN ON):
  • If the VLAN switch is ON, devices on ports 1-16 are isolated from each other and can only communicate with uplink ports. This is expected behavior.
  • If you require direct communication between all devices, ensure the VLAN switch is set to OFF.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, please contact VIMIN technical support.
