4. Navodila za nastavitev

4.1 Fizična namestitev

The VIMIN VM-GS1620 switch can be installed on a desktop or mounted in a 19-inch rack.

Postavitev na namizje:

• Stikalo postavite na ravno, stabilno površino.
• Zagotovite zadostno prezračevanje okoli naprave. Ne blokirajte prezračevalnih odprtin.
• Keep the switch away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and excessive moisture.

Namestitev v rack:

• Priložene nosilce za montažo v rack pritrdite na stranice stikala s priloženimi vijaki.
• Stikalo pritrdite v standardno 19-palčno omaro za opremo z ustreznimi vijaki za omaro (niso priloženi).
• Ensure proper airflow within the rack to prevent overheating.

Slika 3: The VIMIN VM-GS1620 switch can be installed in a 19-inch rack using the included rack-mount kits. Dimensions are approximately 12.2in (31cm) wide, 7.1in (18cm) deep, and 1.7in (4.4cm) high.

4.2 Napajalni priključek

1. Connect one end of the AC power cord to the power input on the rear panel of the switch.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard electrical outlet (AC 100-240V).
3. LED lučka za napajanje na sprednji plošči mora zasvetiti, kar pomeni, da stikalo prejema napajanje.

4.3 Omrežne povezave

The VIMIN VM-GS1620 is a Plug and Play device, requiring no software configuration for basic operation.

1. Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, printers, IP cameras, access points) to any of the Gigabit Ports 1-16 using standard Ethernet cables.
2. Connect your router or main network backbone to one of the Uplink Ports 17-18.
3. Once a device is connected and powered on, the corresponding Link/Act LED for that port will illuminate, indicating a successful connection and activity.

5. Navodila za uporabo

5.1 Osnovna operacija

Once the switch is powered on and devices are connected, the VIMIN VM-GS1620 operates automatically. It functions as an unmanaged switch, forwarding data packets between connected devices at Gigabit speeds without requiring any user configuration.

5.2 One Key VLAN Mode

The switch features a physical VLAN switch on the front panel. This function allows you to quickly enable or disable VLAN isolation.

• VLAN OFF (Default): All ports (1-18) operate as a standard switch, allowing all connected devices to communicate with each other.
• VLAN ON: When the VLAN switch is set to ON, ports 1-16 are isolated from each other. Devices connected to ports 1-16 can only communicate with the uplink ports (17-18) and not directly with other devices on ports 1-16. This enhances network security and can improve bandwidth utilization by preventing broadcast storms within the isolated segments.

Slika 6: The One Key VLAN switch isolates ports 1-16 from each other, allowing them to communicate only with the uplink ports (17-18). This setup is useful for segmenting a network for security or performance.

6. Vzdrževanje

The VIMIN VM-GS1620 switch is designed for minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:

• Čiščenje: Za čiščenje zunanjosti stikala uporabite mehko, suho krpo. Ne uporabljajte tekočih ali aerosolnih čistil.
• Prezračevanje: Ensure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed to allow for proper heat dissipation.
• Okolje: Operate the switch within its specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
• Upravljanje kablov: Omrežne kable imejte urejene in brez prepognjenj ali prekomernih upogibov, da preprečite poslabšanje signala.

7. Odpravljanje težav

If you encounter issues with your VIMIN VM-GS1620 switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Brez napajanja:
  • Check if the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and the electrical outlet.
  • Preverite, ali električna vtičnica deluje.
  • Prepričajte se, da LED-lučka za napajanje na sprednji plošči sveti.
• Ni povezave/aktivnosti na vratih:
  • Prepričajte se, da je ethernetni kabel varno priključen tako na vrata stikala kot na priključeno napravo.
  • Poskusite z drugim ethernetnim kablom, da izključite možnost okvarjenega kabla.
  • Napravo priključite na druga vrata na stikalu.
  • Preverite, ali je priključena naprava vklopljena in deluje pravilno.
• Počasna hitrost omrežja:
  • Prepričajte se, da vse priključene naprave in kabli podpirajo gigabitni Ethernet (Cat5e ali višje).
  • Preverite, ali je v omrežju preobremenjen promet ali ali so v uporabi aplikacije, ki intenzivno uporabljajo pasovno širino.
  • Consider enabling VLAN mode if network segmentation is desired to reduce broadcast domains.
• Devices Cannot Communicate (VLAN ON):
  • If the VLAN switch is ON, devices on ports 1-16 are isolated from each other and can only communicate with uplink ports. This is expected behavior.
  • If you require direct communication between all devices, ensure the VLAN switch is set to OFF.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, please contact VIMIN technical support.
