4. 스위치 작동

The Mercusys MS124GS is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without requiring complex configuration. However, it includes specific modes to optimize network performance and security.

4.1 기본 모드

In Default Mode, all ports operate as standard Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing all connected devices to communicate freely within the network.

4.2 격리 모드

Isolation Mode enhances security by separating client traffic. When activated, ports 1-22 are isolated from each other but can still communicate with ports 23-24 (uplink ports). This prevents client devices from directly accessing each other, which is useful in environments like offices or public networks.

• 활성화: Locate the 'Isolation' switch on the front panel and set it to the 'On' position.

4.3 루프 방지 모드

Loop Prevention Mode automatically detects and prevents network loops. A network loop occurs when there are multiple paths between two network devices, which can cause broadcast storms and network instability. This mode helps maintain network reliability.

• 활성화: Locate the 'Loop Prevention' switch on the front panel and set it to the 'On' position.

5. 유지관리

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Mercusys MS124GS switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• 통풍: Ensure the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area. Do not block the ventilation holes on the sides or rear of the device.
• 청소: 스위치 외부를 주기적으로 부드럽고 마른 천으로 닦아주십시오. 액체 또는 에어로졸 세척제 사용은 피하십시오.
• 케이블 관리 : 신호 저하를 방지하려면 네트워크 케이블을 꼬임이나 과도한 굽힘 없이 정리하세요.
• 전원 공급 장치: Use only the power adapter provided with the switch. Disconnect power during electrical storms or when the device will be unused for extended periods.
• 온도: Operate the switch within its specified temperature range (0°C to 40°C).

6. 문제 해결

If you encounter issues with your Mercusys MS124GS switch, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

6.1 전원 없음

• Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet.
• 다른 장치를 연결하여 전원 콘센트가 작동하는지 확인하세요.
• Check the power LED on the front panel of the switch. If it is off, contact support.

6.2 포트에 링크/활동 없음

• 이더넷 케이블이 스위치 포트와 장치에 제대로 연결되어 있는지 확인하십시오.
• 케이블에 결함이 있는지 확인하려면 다른 이더넷 케이블을 사용해 보세요.
• 연결된 장치의 전원이 켜져 있고 네트워크 어댑터가 올바르게 작동하는지 확인하세요.
• If using Isolation Mode, ensure the connected device is on a port that can communicate with the desired destination (e.g., ports 23-24 for uplink).

6.3 Network Slowdown or Instability

• Activate Loop Prevention Mode to check if a network loop is causing the issue.
• 모든 케이블이 양호한 상태이고 제대로 연결되어 있는지 확인하세요.
• Check for excessive network traffic or bandwidth-intensive applications on connected devices.
• Restart the switch by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable.
