3.1. ຂໍ້ມູນຄວາມປອດໄພ

• ຮັບປະກັນການລະບາຍອາກາດທີ່ເຫມາະສົມຮອບອຸປະກອນ.
• ເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ອຸປະກອນກັບປລັກສຽບໄຟທີ່ມີດິນ.
• Do not operate the device in environments exceeding 60°C (140°F).

3.2. Rackmount Installation

The CRS328-24P-4S+RM is designed for 1U rackmount installation.

1. Attach the provided rackmount ears to the sides of the switch using the included screws.
2. Secure the switch into a standard 19-inch rack using appropriate rack screws (not included).

3.3. ການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ພະລັງງານ

Connect the included power cable to the AC input on the rear of the switch and then to a 100-240V AC power source. The device will power on automatically.

3.4. ການເຂົ້າເຖິງການຕັ້ງຄ່າເບື້ອງຕົ້ນ

To access the device for initial configuration:

• ອີເທີເນັດ: Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to any of the Gigabit Ethernet ports. The device will typically acquire an IP address via DHCP or use a default fallback IP.
• ຄອນໂຊ: For direct console access, connect a serial console cable to the RJ45 console port on the front panel. Use a terminal emulator (e.g., PuTTY) with settings: 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, flow control: none.

4. ການດໍາເນີນງານຂອງ Switch

4.1. Operating System Selection (Dual Boot)

The CRS328-24P-4S+RM supports "Dual boot" with RouterOS and SwOS. You can select the desired operating system during boot-up or via the RouterBOOT loader settings.

• SwOS: Provides a simplified interface with switch-specific features. Ideal for pure Layer 2 switching environments.
• ລະບົບປະຕິບັດການເຣົາເຕີ: Offers advanced routing and Layer 3 features, suitable for complex network configurations.

Refer to the MikroTik documentation for detailed instructions on switching between operating systems.

4.2. Ethernet Port Functionality (PoE)

The 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports offer various Power over Ethernet (PoE) output options:

• Passive PoE
• ລະດັບສຽງຕ່ ຳtage PoE
• 802.3af/at (Type 1 "PoE" / Type 2 "PoE+") with auto-sensing

PoE-Out is passed over mode B pins (4,5+) (7,8-). Each port can provide up to 30 W of power. The device provides a guaranteed 450 W total power for PoE devices (3x150 W per every 8 Ethernet ports).

4.3. SFP+ Port Functionality

The four SFP+ ports provide up to 10 Gbps connectivity options. These ports are compatible with either optical fiber SFP+ modules or Ethernet SFP+ modules (not included).

5. ບໍາລຸງຮັກສາ

5.1. ອັບເດດເຟີມແວ

ກວດສອບ MikroTik ເປັນປະຈຳ website for the latest firmware updates for both RouterOS and SwOS. Keeping the firmware updated ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features.

Instructions for updating firmware are available in the official MikroTik documentation for RouterOS and SwOS.

5.2. ທໍາຄວາມສະອາດ

To maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating, periodically clean the device. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. For dust accumulation in vents, use compressed air. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.

5.3. ປັບປຸ່ມ

The reset button on the front panel can be used for various functions depending on when it is pressed during boot-up. Refer to the MikroTik documentation for specific reset procedures (e.g., resetting to factory defaults, entering RouterBOOT loader).

6. ການແກ້ໄຂບັນຫາ

6.1. ບໍ່ມີພະລັງງານ

• Verify the power cable is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet.
• ກວດເບິ່ງແຫຼ່ງພະລັງງານສໍາລັບການເຮັດວຽກ.

6.2. ບໍ່ມີການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ເຄືອຂ່າຍ

• Ensure Ethernet cables are properly connected to the ports and the link/activity LEDs are illuminated.
• Check the configuration of the switch (VLANs, IP settings) to ensure it matches your network requirements.
• If using SFP+ ports, verify that compatible and functional SFP+ modules are installed and connected correctly.

6.3. PoE Devices Not Powering On

• Confirm that the connected device is PoE-compatible (802.3af/at or passive PoE, depending on configuration).
• Check the PoE settings on the switch for the specific port to ensure PoE output is enabled and configured correctly.
• Verify that the total power consumption of all connected PoE devices does not exceed the switch's maximum PoE budget (450 W).

6.4. Accessing Configuration Interface

• ຖ້າທ່ານບໍ່ສາມາດເຂົ້າເຖິງໄດ້ web interface, try connecting via the console port.
• Ensure your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch's management IP.
• If the password is lost, a factory reset might be necessary (refer to MikroTik documentation).
