Usage Features:
- Network Connection:
- Connect PoE devices (e.g., IP phones, IP cameras, APs) to ports 1-48 using Cat. 5e twisted-pair cables. The switch automatically supplies power.
- Connect non-PoE devices (e.g., PCs, routers, printers, notebooks) to any port using standard 'straight through' twisted pair cables.
- Utilize SFP+ ports (49-54) for high-speed fiber connections (10G/1000M).
- LED Indicators:
- Monitor (Red/Off): Indicates system failure (overheating, wrong voltage) or normal operation.
- Alert (Blinking Green/Off): Shows if PoE power budget is over (>) 80% or under (<) 80%.
- SYS (On Green/Blinking Green/Off): Indicates system readiness, booting process, or power off/malfunction.
- PWR (On Green/Off): Shows if the device is powered on/running normally or not ready/failed.
- PoE Port 1-48 (On Green/Off): Indicates if PoE power is supplied or not.
- Port 1-48 (On Green/On Amber/Blinking/Off): Shows connection speed (1000Mbps/10/100Mbps), data transmission, or disconnected/failed link.
- Port 49-54 (On Green/On Blue/Blinking): Shows connection speed (1000Mbps/10Gbps) or data transmission.
- Slide Switch: Toggles LED function to display either PoE connection status (right) or LAN port connection status (left).
- Software Configuration:
- Access the web-based management interface by connecting a PC to the switch and opening a web browser to the switch's IP address (default: 192.168.1.224).
- Login with default credentials (admin/admin).
- The home page provides a dashboard with device information (model, firmware, loader, revision, build date, system time, uptime) and system information (CPU, memory, cache, PoE usage, temperature, voltage).
- The interface allows for comprehensive management of switch LAN, ONVIF surveillance, VLAN routing, security, ACL, QoS, PoE settings, system maintenance, diagnostics, and mail alerts.
- Console Port: Used for telnet command control, offering an alternative for advanced configuration and troubleshooting.
