4. Instruccions de configuració
The D-Link DES-1016A switch is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. Follow these steps to set up your switch:
- Col·locació: Place the switch on a flat, stable surface or mount it in a suitable location. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
- Connectar dispositius de xarxa: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, servers, network printers, other switches/routers) to any of the 16 RJ45 ports on the switch using standard Ethernet cables. The switch supports auto MDI/MDIX, so you do not need to worry about using crossover cables.
- Connectar l'alimentació: Connect the provided power adapter to the power input port on the rear of the switch, then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet.
- Verifica l'alimentació: Once connected, the power indicator LED on the front panel should illuminate, indicating the switch is receiving power.
- Verifica les connexions: The corresponding port LEDs will illuminate when a device is successfully connected and active. A blinking LED indicates network activity.
Your D-Link DES-1016A switch is now ready for use.
5. Funcionament de l'interruptor
The DES-1016A is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without requiring any configuration.
5.1 Indicadors LED
The front panel LEDs provide status information for each port:
- LED d'alimentació: S'il·lumina quan l'interruptor està encès.
- LED d'enllaç/acció (per a cada port):
- Verd sòlid: Indicates a valid network connection at 100 Mbps.
- Ambre sòlid: Indicates a valid network connection at 10 Mbps.
- Parpellejant: Indicates network activity (data transmission/reception) on that port.
- Apagat: No device is connected, or the connected device is powered off.
5.2 D-Link Green Technology
The DES-1016A incorporates D-Link Green Technology, which automatically detects link status and cable length to adjust power usage. This feature helps reduce energy consumption without compromising performance.
6. Manteniment
The D-Link DES-1016A switch requires minimal maintenance.
- Neteja: Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar l'exterior de l'interruptor. No utilitzeu netejadors líquids ni en aerosol.
- Ventilació: Assegureu-vos que les obertures de ventilació no estiguin bloquejades per evitar el sobreescalfament.
- Cicle d'alimentació: If the switch is unresponsive, disconnect the power adapter, wait 10 seconds, and then reconnect it.
