3. Einrichtungsanweisungen

3.1 Physische Installation

1. Auspacken der Switch: Nehmen Sie den Schalter und sämtliches Zubehör vorsichtig aus der Verpackung.
2. Strom anschließen: Connect the provided power adapter to the DC 12V input port on the switch and then plug it into a power outlet. The PWR indicator light should illuminate.
3. Netzwerkgeräte verbinden: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, NAS, routers, access points) to the RJ45 ports (1-5) using Ethernet cables. For 2.5GB speeds, use CAT6 or higher level pure copper Ethernet cables. The corresponding Link/Act LED will light up when a connection is established.
4. Anschluss des SFP+-Moduls (optional): If using the 10G SFP+ port, insert a compatible SFP+ module (not included) into the SFP+ slot (Port 6). Then connect a fiber optic cable to the module.

3.2 Initial Web Verwaltungskonfiguration

Für den Zugriff auf die web management interface for advanced configuration, follow these steps:

1. Einen PC anschließen: Connect a PC directly to any of the switch's RJ45 ports.
2. PC-IP-Adresse konfigurieren: Set your PC's Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) to a manual IP address within the same subnet as the switch's default IP. For example, set your PC's IP to 192.168.2.5 mit einer Subnetzmaske von 255.255.255.0.
3. Zugang Web Schnittstelle: Öffnen Sie ein web browser on your PC and enter the switch's default IP address: 192.168.2.1.
4. Login: Geben Sie die Standardanmeldeinformationen ein:
   Benutzername: Administrator
   Passwort: Administrator
5. Standardkennwort ändern: For security reasons, it is highly recommended to change the default administrator password immediately after your first login.

4. Bedienungsanleitung

4.1 Grundlegende Netzwerkverbindungen

Once the switch is powered on and devices are connected, it operates as a standard unmanaged switch, providing immediate network connectivity. The 2.5G RJ45 ports automatically detect and adapt to 10/100/1000Mbps or 2.5Gbps speeds. The 10G SFP+ port supports 10Gbps connectivity with a compatible SFP+ module.

4.2 Erweitert Web Verwaltungsfunktionen

Der web management interface allows for configuration of various advanced network features to optimize performance and security:

• VLAN (Virtuelles lokales Netzwerk): Segment your network into smaller, isolated broadcast domains to improve security and network efficiency. The switch supports configurable VLAN IDs from 1-4094 and up to 31 static VLAN groups.
• QoS (Dienstqualität): Prioritize network traffic to ensure critical applications (e.g., voice, video) receive sufficient bandwidth and experience minimal latency. Supports SF and WRR scheduling with up to 8 queues per port.
• Link-Aggregation (LAG): Combine multiple physical links into a single logical link to increase bandwidth and provide link redundancy. Supports Static Group and LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) with up to 2 groups and a maximum of 4 members per group.
• Multicast: Optimize multimedia traffic delivery using IGMP Snooping (IGMP V1/V2) to prevent unnecessary flooding of multicast packets.
• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP/MSTP): Prevent network loops and provide path redundancy in complex network topologies.
• MAC-Adresstabelle: View and manage the MAC address table, supporting dynamic and static MAC addresses up to 4K entries.
• Jumbo-Rahmen: Supports 12K Jumbo Frames for increased data transfer efficiency.

4.2.1 VLAN-Konfiguration

VLANs allow you to logically group devices regardless of their physical location, enhancing security and network performance. Refer to the web interface for specific VLAN setup options (Access/Trunk/Hybrid modes).

4.2.2 QoS-Konfiguration

QoS ensures that time-sensitive applications like video conferencing or online gaming receive priority over less critical traffic, providing a smoother user experience.

4.2.3 IGMP Snooping for Multicast Optimization

IGMP Snooping optimizes the delivery of multicast traffic, such as IPTV, by forwarding it only to ports that have explicitly requested it, reducing unnecessary network load.

5. Wartung

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Real HD switch, consider the following maintenance guidelines:

• Platzierung: Platzieren Sie den Schalter an einem gut belüfteten Ort, fern von direkter Sonneneinstrahlung, Wärmequellen und übermäßiger Feuchtigkeit.
• Reinigung: Reinigen Sie die Außenseite des Schalters regelmäßig mit einem weichen, trockenen Tuch. Verwenden Sie keine flüssigen oder Aerosolreiniger.
• Firmware-Updates: Überprüfen Sie die Angaben des Herstellers website for any available firmware updates. Keeping the firmware updated can improve performance, add features, and fix bugs.
• Kabelmanagement: Ensure all network cables are neatly organized and not excessively bent or strained.

6. Fehlerbehebung

If you encounter issues with your Real HD switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Kein Strom: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Check if the PWR LED is illuminated.
• Keine Verbindung/Konnektivität:
  • Verify that Ethernet cables are properly connected to both the switch and the network device.
  • Check the Link/Act LED for the connected port. If it's off, try a different cable or port.
  • Stellen Sie sicher, dass das angeschlossene Gerät eingeschaltet und sein Netzwerkadapter aktiviert ist.
• Langsame Netzwerkgeschwindigkeit:
  • For 2.5GB speeds, ensure you are using CAT6 or higher level pure copper Ethernet cables.
  • Verify that all connected network devices (e.g., network cards, routers) support 2.5GB speeds. The overall network speed will be limited by the slowest device in the chain.
  • Check for network congestion or excessive traffic.
• Kein Zugriff möglich Web Verwaltungsschnittstelle:
  • Ensure your PC's IP address is configured manually within the 192.168.2.x subnet (e.g., 192.168.2.5).
  • Confirm you are entering the correct default IP address: 192.168.2.1.
  • Verify the default username (admin) and password (admin).
  • If the password was changed and forgotten, a factory reset might be necessary (refer to the reset button on the device, typically requiring a paperclip press for several seconds while powered on).
• Unexpected Behavior (e.g., VLAN issues, random DHCP): Some users have reported firmware-related bugs. Ensure your firmware is up to date. If issues persist, contact technical support.
