4. Instrucións de configuración
4.1. Instalación física
- Colocación: Choose a stable, level surface for desktop placement, or a suitable wall/rack location using the provided mounting accessories. Ensure adequate ventilation around the switch to prevent overheating.
- Ambiente: Operate the switch within recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive dust.
4.2. Conexión de alimentación
- Connect the power adapter to the power input port on the switch.
- Plug the other end of the power adapter into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Verify that the power LED on the switch illuminates, indicating successful power-on.
4.3. Conexións de rede
- Connecting End Devices (PoE+ Ports 1-8): Use standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher) to connect IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, or other network devices to ports 1 through 8. These ports will automatically provide power to compatible PoE/PoE+ devices.
- Connecting Uplinks (SFP Ports 9-10): Insert compatible SFP transceivers into ports 9 and 10. Connect fiber optic cables from these transceivers to your core switch or other network infrastructure for high-speed data transmission.
5. Instrucións de funcionamento
5.1. Funcionamento básico
Once powered on and connected, the switch will automatically detect connected devices and establish network links. PoE+ ports will supply power to compliant devices without further configuration.
5.2. Indicadores LED
Os LED do panel frontal proporcionan información de estado en tempo real:
- LED de alimentación: Indicates the power status of the switch. (e.g., Solid Green: Power On)
- LED do sistema: Indicates the overall system status. (e.g., Solid Green: Normal operation)
- LEDs de porto (ligazón/actividade): Indicates link status and network activity for each port. (e.g., Solid Green: Link established; Blinking Green: Data activity)
- PoE LEDs (for ports 1-8): Indicates PoE status for each port. (e.g., Solid Green: PoE power supplied; Blinking: PoE fault)
5.3. Acceso de xestión
As a Layer 3 managed switch, the C1200-8P-E-2G offers advanced configuration options. Access to the management interface (typically via web browser or command-line interface) allows for:
- VLAN configuration for network segmentation.
- Quality of Service (QoS) settings for traffic prioritization.
- IGMP Snooping for efficient multicast traffic management.
- Security features such as 802.1X authentication, port security, and Access Control Lists (ACLs).
- Monitoring and diagnostic tools.
Refer to the comprehensive software configuration guide (available from the manufacturer's website) for detailed instructions on managing the switch.
6. Mantemento
6.1. Limpeza
Regularly clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners directly on the device. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and obstructions.

7 Solución de problemas
Esta sección aborda problemas comúns cos que podes atoparte.
- Sen enerxía:
Síntoma: O LED de alimentación está apagado.
Acción: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working electrical outlet. Test the outlet with another device. - Sen ligazón nun porto:
Síntoma: O LED de ligazón/actividade do porto está apagado.
Acción: Verify the Ethernet cable is properly connected at both ends. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly. Try a different cable or port. - O dispositivo PoE non recibe enerxía:
Síntoma: PoE LED for the port is off or blinking.
Acción: Confirm the connected device is PoE/PoE+ compliant. Check the cable for damage. Ensure the total power budget of the switch is not exceeded. - Problemas de conectividade de rede:
Síntoma: Devices connected to the switch cannot access the network.
Acción: Check the uplink connection to your router or core switch. Verify IP address configurations on connected devices. If using advanced features like VLANs, ensure configurations are correct.
If issues persist, consult the manufacturer's online support resources or contact technical support.
