3. Konfigurazioa
The MS116GS switch is designed for easy installation. No software configuration is required.
3.1 Instalazio fisikoa
- Lekua: Place the switch on a stable, flat surface, such as a desktop, or mount it in a rack. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
- Potentzia-konexioa: Connect the provided power adapter to the switch's power port and then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.
- Sare-konexioak: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, printers, IP cameras, routers) to any of the 16 RJ45 ports using Ethernet cables. The corresponding Link/Act LED for each connected port will light up, indicating an active connection.

3.2 LED adierazleak
The front panel features LED indicators to monitor the switch's status:
- Power LED:
- Aktibatuta: etengailua piztuta dago.
- Off: etengailua itzalita dago.
- Link/Act LEDs (for each port):
- On: A device is connected to the corresponding port.
- Flashing: Data is being transmitted or received through the corresponding port.
- Desaktibatuta: ez dago gailurik konektatutako dagokion ataka batera.
4. Funtzionamendu-argibideak
The MS116GS switch operates automatically once connected. It supports two special modes: Isolation Mode and Loop Prevention Mode, which can be activated via physical switches on the device.

4.1. irudia: Close-up of the mode switches for Isolation and Loop Prevention, located on the right side of the switch.
4.1 Isolamendu modua
Isolation Mode allows for one-click client traffic separation. When enabled, ports 1-14 are isolated from each other, preventing them from communicating directly. All isolated ports can still communicate with ports 15-16 (uplink ports). This mode enhances security and performance by preventing broadcast storms and improving LAN security.
- To enable Isolation Mode: Set the "Isolation" switch to the "On" position.
- To disable Isolation Mode: Set the "Isolation" switch to the "Off" position (Default Mode).
4.2 Loop Prevention Mode
Loop Prevention Mode automatically detects and blocks network loops. A network loop occurs when there are multiple paths between two network devices, which can cause broadcast storms and network instability. When a loop is detected, the switch will block the corresponding port to prevent network disruption.
- To enable Loop Prevention Mode: Set the "Loop Prevention" switch to the "On" position.
- To disable Loop Prevention Mode: Set the "Loop Prevention" switch to the "Off" position (Default Mode).
5. Mantentzea
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your MS116GS switch.
- Garbiketa: Garbitu etengailuaren kanpoaldea aldizka oihal leun eta lehor batekin. Ez erabili garbitzaile likido edo aerosolik.
- Aireztapena: Ensure that the ventilation holes on the sides of the switch are not obstructed. Proper airflow is crucial for heat dissipation.
- Elikatze-iturria: Use only the power adapter provided with the switch. Using an incorrect power adapter may damage the device.
- Ingurumena: Erabili etengailua zehaztutako tenperatura eta hezetasun tarteetan. Saihestu eguzki-argitan edo bero-iturrien ondoan jartzea.
6. Arazoak
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your MS116GS switch.
6.1 Power LED is Off
- Ziurtatu korronte-egokitzailea etengailura eta funtzionatzen duen entxufe elektriko batera ondo konektatuta dagoela.
- Egiaztatu entxufea behar bezala funtzionatzen duela beste gailu bat konektatuz.
6.2 Link/Act LED is Off for a Connected Device
- Egiaztatu Ethernet kablea ondo konektatuta dagoela bai switch atakan bai sareko gailuan.
- Ziurtatu konektatutako gailua piztuta dagoela eta bere sare-egokitzailea behar bezala funtzionatzen duela.
- Try a different Ethernet cable or a different port on the switch.
- Verify that the cable length does not exceed the maximum recommended length (typically 100 meters for Ethernet).
6.3 Sarearen abiadura motela
- Ziurtatu konektatutako gailu eta kable guztiek Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) onartzen dutela errendimendu optimoa lortzeko.
- Check for network loops. If Loop Prevention Mode is off, consider enabling it.
- If Isolation Mode is enabled, ensure it is not inadvertently affecting communication between devices that need to interact directly.
- Berrabiarazi etengailua eta konektatutako gailuak.
