3. سيٽ اپ

The MS116GS switch is designed for easy installation. No software configuration is required.

3.1 جسماني تنصيب

1. لڳائڻ: Place the switch on a stable, flat surface, such as a desktop, or mount it in a rack. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
2. پاور ڪنيڪشن: Connect the provided power adapter to the switch's power port and then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.
3. نيٽ ورڪ ڪنيڪشن: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, printers, IP cameras, routers) to any of the 16 RJ45 ports using Ethernet cables. The corresponding Link/Act LED for each connected port will light up, indicating an active connection.

3.2 LED اشارا

The front panel features LED indicators to monitor the switch's status:

• پاور LED:
  • کوليو: سوئچ چالو ڪيو ويو آهي.
  • بند: سوئچ بند ٿيل آهي.
• Link/Act LEDs (for each port):
  • On: A device is connected to the corresponding port.
  • Flashing: Data is being transmitted or received through the corresponding port.
  • بند: ڪو به ڊوائيس لاڳاپيل پورٽ سان ڳنڍيل ناهي.

4. آپريٽنگ هدايتون

The MS116GS switch operates automatically once connected. It supports two special modes: Isolation Mode and Loop Prevention Mode, which can be activated via physical switches on the device.

شڪل 4.1: Close-up of the mode switches for Isolation and Loop Prevention, located on the right side of the switch.

4.1 آئسوليشن موڊ

Isolation Mode allows for one-click client traffic separation. When enabled, ports 1-14 are isolated from each other, preventing them from communicating directly. All isolated ports can still communicate with ports 15-16 (uplink ports). This mode enhances security and performance by preventing broadcast storms and improving LAN security.

• To enable Isolation Mode: Set the "Isolation" switch to the "On" position.
• To disable Isolation Mode: Set the "Isolation" switch to the "Off" position (Default Mode).

4.2 Loop Prevention Mode

Loop Prevention Mode automatically detects and blocks network loops. A network loop occurs when there are multiple paths between two network devices, which can cause broadcast storms and network instability. When a loop is detected, the switch will block the corresponding port to prevent network disruption.

• To enable Loop Prevention Mode: Set the "Loop Prevention" switch to the "On" position.
• To disable Loop Prevention Mode: Set the "Loop Prevention" switch to the "Off" position (Default Mode).

5. سار سنڀال

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your MS116GS switch.

• صفائي: سوئچ جي ٻاهرين حصي کي نرم، سڪل ڪپڙي سان باقاعدي صاف ڪريو. مائع يا ايروسول ڪلينر استعمال نه ڪريو.
• وينٽيليشن: Ensure that the ventilation holes on the sides of the switch are not obstructed. Proper airflow is crucial for heat dissipation.
• بجلي جي فراهمي: Use only the power adapter provided with the switch. Using an incorrect power adapter may damage the device.
• ماحول: سوئچ کي ان جي مخصوص درجه حرارت ۽ نمي جي حدن اندر هلايو. ان کي سڌي سج جي روشني ۾ يا گرمي جي ذريعن جي ويجهو رکڻ کان پاسو ڪريو.

6. مسئلا حل ڪرڻ

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your MS116GS switch.

6.1 پاور ايل اي ڊي بند آهي

• پڪ ڪريو ته پاور اڊاپٽر محفوظ طور تي سوئچ ۽ ڪم ڪندڙ برقي آئوٽليٽ سان ڳنڍيل آهي.
• ٻئي ڊوائيس کي پلگ ان ڪندي تصديق ڪريو ته پاور آئوٽليٽ صحيح طريقي سان ڪم ڪري رهيو آهي.

6.2 Link/Act LED is Off for a Connected Device

• چيڪ ڪريو ته ايٿرنيٽ ڪيبل محفوظ طور تي سوئچ پورٽ ۽ نيٽ ورڪ ڊيوائس ٻنهي ۾ لڳل آهي.
• پڪ ڪريو ته ڳنڍيل ڊوائيس آن آهي ۽ ان جو نيٽ ورڪ اڊاپٽر صحيح طريقي سان ڪم ڪري رهيو آهي.
• Try a different Ethernet cable or a different port on the switch.
• Verify that the cable length does not exceed the maximum recommended length (typically 100 meters for Ethernet).

6.3 سست نيٽ ورڪ اسپيڊ

• Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) for optimal performance.
• Check for network loops. If Loop Prevention Mode is off, consider enabling it.
• If Isolation Mode is enabled, ensure it is not inadvertently affecting communication between devices that need to interact directly.
• سوئچ ۽ ڳنڍيل ڊوائيسز کي ٻيهر شروع ڪريو.
