4.2 Conexão de Energia

1. Connect the provided power cord to the AC INPUT port on the rear panel of the switch.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard AC power outlet (100-240V).
3. The PWR indicator on the front panel should illuminate, indicating the switch is receiving power.

4.3 Conexões de Rede

Connect your network devices to the switch using Ethernet cables. For optimal 2.5GbE speeds, use Cat6 or higher pure copper cables. Ensure all connected devices (routers, NICs, etc.) also support 2.5GbE; otherwise, network speed will default to the slowest connected device.

• Dispositivos PoE: Connect PoE-compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, wireless access points) to ports 1-24. These ports will automatically detect and provide power to compliant devices.
• Dispositivos não PoE: Non-PoE devices can also be connected to ports 1-24 for data connectivity.
• Conexões de uplink: Use the 10G SFP+ ports for high-speed connections to your core network, servers, or other 10G-capable devices.

5. Instruções de operação

The Sodola PoE Switch is largely plug-and-play for basic network connectivity. Once powered on and devices are connected, it will begin forwarding data.

5.1 Indicadores LED

Monitor the LED indicators on the front panel for device status:

• Potência: Solid green when the switch is powered on.
• SYS: Indicates system status. Refer to the full user manual for specific blink patterns.
• LINK/ACT (per port): Solid green when a link is established, flashing green when data is being transmitted/received.
• PoE (por porta): Solid green when PoE power is being supplied to a connected device.
• PoE MÁX.: Indicates total PoE power usage. OFF: <90%, FLASHING: 90%-95%, ON: 95%-100%.

5.2 Redefinindo as configurações de fábrica

To restore the switch to its factory default settings, press and hold the RESET button on the front panel for approximately 6 seconds. The switch will reboot with default configurations.

6. Web Gerenciamento

The switch features an easy-to-use web-based management interface for advanced configuration and monitoring.

6.1 Acessando o Web Interface

1. Ensure your computer is connected to the switch via an Ethernet cable.
2. Configure your computer's IP address to be in the same subnet as the switch's default IP address (e.g., if the switch is 192.168.2.1, set your computer to 192.168.2.x, where x is not 1).
3. Abra um web No navegador, digite o endereço IP padrão do switch: 192.168.2.1
4. Insira as credenciais de login padrão: Nome de usuário: admin, Senha: admin.
5. Após o login bem-sucedido, você terá acesso ao web interface de gerenciamento.
