How to use

Install the switch in a 1U rack shelf and connect uplink SFP+ ports to your core router or fiber switch for backbone connectivity. Connect 2.5GbE and 10GbE devices via the RJ‑45 and SFP+ ports as required. Use the QSS web interface to configure VLANs, LACP, PoE schedules and power prioritization, and to monitor real‑time power consumption and link status of connected PDs.

Recommendations

For stable operation, ensure the total PoE budget is not exceeded when connecting multiple high‑power PDs; prioritize critical devices through QSS PoE settings and place the switch in a ventilated rack space. Use SFP+ uplinks for backbone aggregation to preserve edge port capacity and maximize throughput.
