How to use

Mount the switch in a rack or place it on a stable surface, connect the uplink SFP ports to your core network or fiber links, and attach devices to the Gigabit PoE ports. Access the built-in web dashboard to configure VLANs, L2/L3 settings, QoS and security policies. Verify PoE power budgets before connecting powered devices and monitor port status and traffic through the management interface.

Recommendations

Plan VLAN segmentation and PoE load distribution in advance; ensure firmware is updated and backup configurations are stored off-device to maintain stable and secure operation.
