3. Contingut del paquet

Verifiqueu que els elements següents estiguin inclosos al vostre paquet:

• MokerLink 4-Port 2.5G Ethernet Switch (Model: Mini 4*2.5G,2*10G SFP)
• Adaptador d'alimentació (12 V/1 A)

Note: SFP modules are not included and must be purchased separately if 10G SFP+ connectivity is desired.

4. Configuració

The MokerLink switch is an unmanaged, plug-and-play device, requiring no complex configuration. Follow these steps for basic setup:

1. Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the provided 12V/1A power adapter to the DC input port on the switch and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The PWR LED indicator will illuminate when power is supplied.
2. Ethernet Device Connection: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, NAS, WiFi 6 APs) to the 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 ports (ports 1-4) using standard Ethernet cables (CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT6a recommended for optimal performance). The Link/Act LEDs for each port will indicate connection status and activity.
3. SFP+ Module Installation (Optional): If using 10 Gigabit SFP+ connectivity, insert compatible SFP+ modules (1G/2.5G/10G) into the SFP+ slots (ports 5-6). Then, connect appropriate fiber optic cables or DAC cables to the SFP+ modules. The SFP indicator LEDs will show the link status.
4. Col·locació: The switch can be placed on a desktop or mounted on a wall. For wall mounting, use appropriate screws (not included) with the keyhole slots on the bottom of the device. Ensure adequate ventilation around the switch.

6. Manteniment

The MokerLink switch is designed for reliable, fanless operation, minimizing maintenance requirements.

• Neteja: Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar l'exterior de l'interruptor. No utilitzeu netejadors líquids ni en aerosol.
• Ventilació: Ensure the switch is placed in a location with adequate airflow to prevent overheating, especially given its fanless design. Avoid blocking the ventilation holes on the sides.
• Condicions ambientals: Operate the switch within recommended temperature and humidity ranges (refer to specifications).
• Gestió de cables: Organize network cables to prevent strain on ports and maintain a tidy setup.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your MokerLink switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Sense energia:
  • Check if the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working electrical outlet.
  • Verifiqueu que la presa de corrent funciona connectant-hi un altre dispositiu.
  • Assegureu-vos que el LED PWR estigui encès.
• Cap enllaç/activitat en un port:
  • Assegureu-vos que el cable Ethernet estigui connectat correctament tant al port del commutador com al dispositiu connectat.
  • Prova un cable Ethernet diferent per descartar un cable defectuós.
  • Verify the connected device is powered on and its network adapter is functioning correctly.
  • Check the Link/Act LED for the specific port. If it's off, there's no link.
  • For SFP+ ports, ensure the SFP+ module is correctly inserted and compatible, and the fiber/DAC cable is properly connected.
• Velocitats de xarxa lentes:
  • Ensure your connected devices support 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps speeds.
  • Use high-quality Ethernet cables (CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT6a) for 2.5G connections and appropriate fiber/DAC cables for 10G SFP+ connections.
  • Check the color of the Link/Act LED for RJ45 ports: Green indicates 2.5Gbps, Orange indicates 10/100/1000Mbps.
  • Confirm that your SFP+ modules are rated for the desired speed (1G, 2.5G, or 10G).
  • Consider the overall network topology and other devices that might be causing bottlenecks.
