• VLAN మోడ్: Provides fixed VLAN for port isolation, preventing communication between PoE ports while allowing communication with uplink ports to reduce network congestion.
• ప్లగ్ మరియు ప్లే: Automatic device detection requires no configuration; simply connect the power cord and network cables.
• యూనివర్సల్ అనుకూలత: Supports both PoE devices (e.g., IP cameras, EAPs, access points, IP phones) and Non-PoE devices (data transmission only).
• మన్నికైన డిజైన్: Features a metal casing, silent fanless operation, wide operating temperature range (-10°C to 50°C), and 1U rackmount capability.
• అధిక పనితీరు: Offers 36Gbps backplane bandwidth and 10KB Jumbo Frame support.

3. సెటప్

The SODOLA 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Unmanaged Network Switch is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. Follow these steps to set up your device:

1. శక్తికి కనెక్ట్ చేయండి: Connect the provided power cord to the switch's power input and then to a standard AC power outlet. Ensure the power indicator light on the switch illuminates.
2. Connect Uplink Ports: Connect your router or main network device to one of the two Gigabit uplink ports (labeled G1/G2) on the switch using a standard Ethernet cable. These ports are designed for high-speed connection to your core network.
3. Connect PoE Devices: Connect your PoE-compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones) to any of the 16 PoE ports (labeled 1-16) using standard Ethernet cables. The switch will automatically detect and provide power to these devices if they are IEEE 802.3af/at compliant.
4. Connect Non-PoE Devices (Optional): If you have non-PoE devices (e.g., computers, printers, NVRs) that require network connectivity but not power from the switch, you can connect them to any of the 16 PoE ports. Note that these devices will only receive data and will require their own power supply. Alternatively, an active PoE splitter can be used for non-PoE devices to receive power from the switch.
5. కనెక్షన్‌లను ధృవీకరించండి: Check the LED indicators on the front panel for each connected port. A solid green or amber light typically indicates a successful link and activity.

4. ఆపరేటింగ్ సూచనలు

4.1 ప్రాథమిక ఆపరేషన్

Once the switch is powered on and devices are connected, it operates automatically. As an unmanaged switch, it requires no software configuration for basic network functionality. Data traffic will flow between connected devices and to the uplink ports.

4.2 Power over Ethernet (PoE)

The switch automatically detects and supplies power to IEEE 802.3af/at compliant PoE devices connected to ports 1-16. The total power budget is 400W, ensuring sufficient power for multiple devices. If a connected device is not PoE-compatible, the switch will only transmit data.

Figure 5: Illustration of the switch's compatibility with various PoE devices (IP Camera, IP Phone, Wireless AP) and Non-PoE devices (Router, Computer, NVR).

5. VLAN Mode

The SODOLA switch includes a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) dipswitch for port isolation. This feature enhances network security and reduces network congestion by segmenting traffic.

5.1 Enabling/Disabling VLAN Mode

Locate the VLAN dipswitch on the front panel of the switch. It typically has two positions: ఆఫ్ మరియు ON.

• OFF (Default - Switch Mode): In this mode, the switch operates as a general network switch. All ports can communicate with each other, and all ports support Gigabit auto-negotiation. This is suitable for most standard network setups.
• ON (VLAN Mode): When set to ON, fixed VLANs are enabled. In this mode, the 16 PoE ports (ports 1-16) are isolated from each other. They cannot communicate directly with each other but can communicate with the uplink ports (G1/G2). This is particularly useful for security applications, such as IP camera networks, where you want to prevent devices on different PoE ports from interacting directly, thereby reducing potential network congestion and enhancing security.

Caution: Changing the VLAN mode will affect network communication between devices connected to the PoE ports. Ensure this mode is appropriate for your network configuration before enabling it.

6. నిర్వహణ

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your SODOLA switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• శుభ్రపరచడం: స్విచ్ యొక్క బాహ్య భాగాన్ని మెత్తటి, పొడి గుడ్డతో కాలానుగుణంగా శుభ్రం చేయండి. ద్రవ లేదా ఏరోసోల్ క్లీనర్‌లను ఉపయోగించవద్దు.
• వెంటిలేషన్: Ensure the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area. Do not block the ventilation openings on the sides of the device. The fanless design relies on natural convection for cooling.
• పర్యావరణం: Operate the switch within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high moisture.
• కేబుల్ నిర్వహణ: సిగ్నల్ క్షీణతను నివారించడానికి నెట్‌వర్క్ కేబుల్‌లను క్రమబద్ధంగా ఉంచండి మరియు కింక్స్ లేదా అధిక వంపులు లేకుండా ఉంచండి.

If you encounter issues with your SODOLA switch, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• శక్తి లేదు: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and the power outlet. Verify the power outlet is functional. Check the power indicator LED on the switch.
• లింక్/కార్యకలాపం లేదు: Check if the Ethernet cables are securely connected to both the switch port and the connected device. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly. Try a different Ethernet cable or port.
• PoE పరికరం శక్తిని అందుకోవడం లేదు: Verify that the connected device is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant. Check the PoE status LED for the specific port. Ensure the total power consumption of all connected PoE devices does not exceed the 400W power budget.
• Network Congestion/Slow Speed: If VLAN mode is OFF, consider enabling it to isolate traffic between PoE ports, especially in networks with many devices or high traffic. Ensure all cables are Gigabit-rated for optimal performance.
• అడపాదడపా కనెక్టివిటీ: Check for loose cable connections. Ensure the switch is not overheating (though designed for wide operating temperatures, extreme conditions can affect performance).

If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact SODOLA customer support for further assistance.
