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

3.1 ການຕິດຕັ້ງທາງດ້ານຮ່າງກາຍ

1. ການຈັດວາງ: 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. ການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ພະລັງງານ: 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. ການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ເຄືອຂ່າຍ: 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.

4. ຄໍາແນະນໍາການດໍາເນີນງານ

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.

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

4.1 Isolation Mode

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. ບໍາລຸງຮັກສາ

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

• ທໍາຄວາມສະອາດ: ເຮັດຄວາມສະອາດດ້ານນອກຂອງສະວິດເປັນປົກກະຕິດ້ວຍຜ້າອ່ອນໆ, ແຫ້ງ. ຫ້າມໃຊ້ນໍ້າສະອາດ ຫຼື ແອໂຣໂຊລ.
• ການລະບາຍອາກາດ: Ensure that the ventilation holes on the sides of the switch are not obstructed. Proper airflow is crucial for heat dissipation.
• ການສະຫນອງພະລັງງານ: Use only the power adapter provided with the switch. Using an incorrect power adapter may damage the device.
• ສະພາບແວດລ້ອມ: Operate the switch within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

6. ການແກ້ໄຂບັນຫາ

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

ໄຟ LED ເປີດເຄື່ອງ 6.1 ປິດຢູ່

• ໃຫ້ແນ່ໃຈວ່າອະແດັບເຕີໄຟເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ຢ່າງປອດໄພກັບສະວິດ ແລະປລັກໄຟຟ້າທີ່ເຮັດວຽກ.
• ກວດສອບວ່າປລັກໄຟເຮັດວຽກຢ່າງຖືກຕ້ອງໂດຍການສຽບອຸປະກອນອື່ນ.

6.2 Link/Act LED is Off for a Connected Device

• Check that the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the switch port and the network device.
• ກວດໃຫ້ແນ່ໃຈວ່າອຸປະກອນທີ່ເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ນັ້ນເປີດຢູ່ ແລະອະແດັບເຕີເຄືອຂ່າຍຂອງມັນເຮັດວຽກຢ່າງຖືກຕ້ອງ.
• ລອງໃຊ້ສາຍ Ethernet ອື່ນ ຫຼື ພອດອື່ນໃນສະວິດ.
• Verify that the cable length does not exceed the maximum recommended length (typically 100 meters for Ethernet).

6.3 ຄວາມໄວເຄືອຂ່າຍຊ້າ

• 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.
