• RJ45-poorten (1-8): Connect network devices such as computers, printers, or other switches using Ethernet cables. These ports support 10/100/1000Mbps speeds and automatically detect cable type (Auto-MDI/MDIX).
• Link/Act-LED: Indicates the connection status and activity for each corresponding port. A solid light indicates a valid link, and a blinking light indicates data transmission.
• Voedings-LED: Licht op wanneer de schakelaar is ingeschakeld.

Achterpaneel

Instellen

The MS108GS switch is a plug-and-play device, requiring no software configuration. Follow these steps to set up your switch:

1. Plaatsing: Place the switch on a flat, stable surface or mount it to a wall using the integrated mounting holes. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
2. Stroomaansluiting: Sluit de meegeleverde voedingsadapter aan op de voedingsingang van de switch en steek de adapter vervolgens in een standaard stopcontact. De voedings-LED op het voorpaneel moet gaan branden.
3. Netwerk connecties: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, network printers, routers, network-attached storage) to the RJ45 ports (1-8) on the switch using Ethernet cables.
4. Controleer de verbinding: Once connected, the corresponding Link/Act LED for each active port should light up, indicating a successful connection. If the LED is blinking, it indicates data activity.

The switch will automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of connected devices.

Bediening

The Mercusys MS108GS is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without requiring user configuration. Once connected, it facilitates data transfer between all connected devices at Gigabit speeds.

• Gegevensoverdracht: The switch intelligently forwards data packets to their intended destination, optimizing network performance.
• Green Ethernet Technology: The switch incorporates energy-saving features that automatically adjust power consumption based on cable length and link status, reducing operational costs.
• Plug en Play: No software or driver installation is required. Simply connect your devices and power on the switch.

Onderhoud

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Mercusys MS108GS switch, consider the following maintenance guidelines:

• Omgeving: Operate the switch within its specified temperature range (0°C to 40°C) and humidity levels. Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.
• Schoonmaak: Gebruik een zachte, droge doek om de buitenkant van de schakelaar schoon te maken. Gebruik geen vloeibare reinigingsmiddelen of spuitbussen.
• Ventilatie: Ensure that the ventilation holes on the switch are not blocked to allow for proper heat dissipation. The metal casing is designed for efficient heat management.
• Kabelbeheer: Zorg ervoor dat netwerkkabels geordend zijn en vrij van knikken of overmatig buigen, om signaalverslechtering te voorkomen.
• Voeding: Gebruik uitsluitend de voedingsadapter die bij de switch is meegeleverd.

Probleemoplossing

If you encounter issues with your Mercusys MS108GS switch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Power LED is Off:
  • Zorg ervoor dat de voedingsadapter stevig is aangesloten op de schakelaar en een werkend stopcontact.
  • Controleer of het stopcontact werkt door er een ander apparaat op aan te sluiten.
• 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.
  • Zorg ervoor dat het aangesloten apparaat is ingeschakeld en dat de netwerkadapter correct functioneert.
  • Probeer een andere Ethernet-kabel.
  • Probeer het apparaat op een andere poort op de switch aan te sluiten.
• Trage netwerksnelheid:
  • Zorg ervoor dat alle aangesloten apparaten en kabels Gigabit Ethernet ondersteunen (Cat5e-kabels of hoger worden aanbevolen voor Gigabit-snelheden).
  • Check for network congestion.
  • Herstart de switch en de aangesloten apparaten.
• No Network Access:
  • Verify that your router or modem is functioning correctly and providing internet access.
  • Ensure all cables are properly connected between the switch, router, and devices.
  • Restart your entire network (modem, router, then switch, then devices).
