5. Virta päälle: Flip the power switch on the rear panel to the ON position. Observe the LED indicators on the front panel to confirm proper power-up and system initialization.
6. Alkukokoonpano: Käytä kytkimen web management interface via a connected computer. Refer to the separate software user manual for detailed instructions on initial IP address configuration and login procedures. The switch supports both IPv6 and IPv4 management.

4. Käyttöohjeet

The GS-4210-16P4C switch offers intelligent PoE functions to enhance network management and efficiency.

4.1 Intelligent PoE Functions

• PD Alive Check: The switch can be configured to monitor the status of connected Powered Devices (PDs) in real-time using ping actions. If a PD stops responding, the GS-4210-16P4C will automatically cycle the power on the corresponding PoE port, effectively rebooting the PD. This feature significantly improves network reliability by automatically restoring non-responsive devices and reduces the need for manual intervention.
• PoE Schedule: This function allows administrators to enable or disable PoE power feeding for each PoE port during specified time intervals. This is a powerful tool for energy saving, as it can power off devices during non-business hours. It also enhances security by ensuring that certain devices are only operational when needed. Additionally, the PoE schedule can be used to automatically reboot connected PoE IP cameras or wireless access points at a specific time each week, preventing potential crashes due to buffer overflow.

4.2 Web Hallintarajapinta

Kytkimen web management interface provides comprehensive control and monitoring capabilities. Through this interface, you can:

• Configure network settings (IP addresses, VLANs, QoS).
• Manage PoE settings, including the PD Alive Check and PoE Schedule functions.
• Monitor the status of all ports and connected devices.
• View a power usage chart to track the real-time power consumption of connected PDs.

5. Huolto

Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your GS-4210-16P4C switch.

• Laiteohjelmistopäivitykset: Tarkista säännöllisesti valmistajan website for firmware updates. Applying the latest firmware can improve performance, add new features, and address security vulnerabilities.
• Ympäristöolosuhteet: Ensure the switch operates within its specified temperature range (0° to 50°C) and humidity levels. Keep the area around the switch clear to allow for proper airflow and cooling.
• Puhdistus: Gently clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust accumulation.
• PoE Device Reboot Schedule: Utilize the PoE schedule function to periodically reboot connected IP cameras or access points. This proactive measure can prevent device crashes and maintain consistent performance.

6. Vianmääritys
