4. Configuració
The NICGIGA S25-0802P is an unmanaged plug-and-play switch, requiring no software configuration. Follow these steps for basic setup:
- Connecteu-vos a l'alimentació: Plug the power cord into the AC power input on the rear panel of the switch, then connect the other end to a standard AC power outlet. The Power LED on the front panel will illuminate.
- Connectar dispositius de xarxa:
- For PoE-powered devices (e.g., WiFi6 APs, PoE cameras, IP phones), connect them to any of the 8x 2.5G PoE+ ports (ports 1-8) using standard Ethernet cables. The switch will automatically detect and provide power to compliant devices (IEEE 802.3af/at, 44-57V).
- For non-PoE devices (e.g., PCs, NAS, routers), connect them to any of the 8x 2.5G PoE+ ports (ports 1-8) using standard Ethernet cables. The switch will provide data connectivity without power.
- For high-speed uplinks to other switches or network infrastructure, insert compatible 1G/2.5G/10G SFP+ modules (not included) into the 2x 10G SFP+ ports (ports 9-10), then connect fiber optic cables.
- Verifica les connexions: Check the Link/Act and 2.5G Link LEDs for each connected port. A solid green Link/Act LED indicates a successful connection, and a solid green 2.5G Link LED indicates a 2.5Gbps connection speed.

5. Instruccions de funcionament
The NICGIGA S25-0802P is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without user configuration. Once connected, it facilitates high-speed data transfer and power delivery to connected devices.
- Automatic Speed Detection: The switch automatically detects the speed of connected devices (10/100/1000/2500Mbps) and adjusts accordingly.
- PoE Power Delivery: For IEEE 802.3af/at compliant PoE devices, the switch automatically detects their power requirements and supplies up to 30W per port, with a total PoE budget of 120W. Ensure your PoE devices operate within the 44-57V range.
- Non-Blocking Forwarding: The switch supports non-blocking data forwarding, ensuring full wire-speed performance across all ports simultaneously.
- Indicadors LED: Monitor the Link/Act and 2.5G Link LEDs to confirm active connections and data transfer speeds. The PoE LEDs indicate power delivery status.
