• SFP Ports (23F, 24F): Two shared SFP slots for fiber optic connections, compatible with 1000BASE-X SFP modules. These ports are shared with the last two RJ45 ports (23T, 24T).
• مؤشرات LED:
  • مؤشر الطاقة LED: يشير إلى حالة الطاقة.
  • مؤشرات LED للربط/التشغيل: Indicates a valid network link and activity on the corresponding port.
  • SPD LEDs: Indicates the connection speed (e.g., Green for 1000Mbps, Yellow for 100Mbps).
  • FDX LEDs: Indicates full-duplex operation.
• زر إعادة الضبط: يُستخدم لإعادة ضبط جهاز التبديل إلى إعدادات المصنع الافتراضية.

4. تعليمات الإعداد

4.1. تحديد مستوى

The switch can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack using the provided rack-mount kit. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device to prevent overheating.

4.2. توصيل الطاقة

1. Connect one end of the power cord to the power inlet on the rear panel of the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the power cord to a standard AC power outlet.
3. تأكد من أن مؤشر LED للطاقة الموجود على اللوحة الأمامية مضاء، مما يشير إلى أن المفتاح يستقبل الطاقة.

4.3. اتصالات الشبكة

1. Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, servers, other switches) to the RJ45 ports (1-24) using standard Ethernet cables.
2. For fiber optic connections, insert compatible SFP modules into the SFP ports (23F, 24F) and connect fiber optic cables. Note that using an SFP module in port 23F or 24F will disable the corresponding RJ45 port (23T or 24T).
3. Observe the Link/ACT and SPD LEDs to confirm proper network connectivity and speed.

4.4. Initial Access to Management Interface

يمكن إدارة التبديل عبر web-based graphical user interface (GUI). To access it:

1. تأكد من توصيل جهاز الكمبيوتر الخاص بك بالمحول.
2. The switch typically obtains an IP address from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is present, it will use a default static IP address (refer to the Quick Start Guide or Resource CD for the specific default IP and credentials).
3. افتح web قم بزيارة المتصفح وأدخل عنوان IP الخاص بالمفتاح.
4. Enter the default username and password when prompted. Note that the factory default password is not blank and must be entered correctly.

5. تشغيل المفتاح
