3. Setup
3.1 Installazzjoni Fiżika
- Pjazzament: Place the switch on a stable, flat surface or mount it to a wall using the provided hangers and screws. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
- Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija: Connect the supplied AC power cable to the power input on the rear panel of the switch and then to a standard electrical outlet. The Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.

3.2 Konnessjoni tan-Netwerk
- Qabbad l-Apparati PoE: Use standard Ethernet cables to connect your PoE-compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, Wireless APs) to ports 1-4. The switch will automatically detect and power these devices.
- Connect Non-PoE Devices/Uplink: Connect your router, NVR, or other non-PoE network devices to the Uplink ports (5-6) using standard Ethernet cables. These ports provide data connectivity only.
Figure 4: Connecting various devices to the PoE switch. IP cameras, Wireless APs, and IP phones connect to PoE ports for data and power. Routers, computers, and NVRs connect to uplink ports for data only.
4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The MokerLink 6 Port PoE Switch is a plug-and-play device, requiring no software configuration. Once powered on and connected, it will automatically begin functioning.
4.1 Indikaturi LED
Monitor the status of the switch and connected devices using the front panel LEDs:
- LED tal-qawwa:
- Fuq: Is-swiċċ huwa mixgħul.
- Mitfi: Is-swiċċ huwa mitfi.
- LEDs tal-Link/Act (għal kull port):
- Fuq: A device is connected and a link is established.
- Teptip: Qed isseħħ attività tad-dejta fuq il-port.
- Mitfi: No device is connected or no link is established.
- PoE LEDs (per PoE port):
- Fuq: L-apparat PoE konness qed jingħata l-enerġija.
- Mitfi: No power is being supplied (either not a PoE device or an issue exists).
5. Extend Mode and VLAN Function
5.1 Modalità Estensjoni
The switch features an 'Extend' mode, controlled by a physical switch on the front panel. This mode is useful for deploying PoE devices over longer distances.
Figure 5: Comparison of Default and Extend modes for PoE range and speed.
- Modalità Default: Standard operation, supporting up to 100 meters (328 ft) at 10/100Mbps.
- Modalità Estendi: When the switch is set to 'Extend', the PoE ports (1-4) can transmit data and power up to 250 meters (820 ft). In this mode, the data speed for these ports is reduced to 10Mbps. This is ideal for long-distance surveillance camera deployments.
5.2 Port Isolation (VLAN)
When the 'Extend' mode is active, the PoE ports (1-4) are isolated from each other. This means that devices connected to these ports cannot directly communicate with each other, enhancing network security and preventing broadcast storms. All isolated ports can still communicate with the Uplink ports (5-6).
Figure 6: Port Isolation (VLAN) in Extend Mode. Devices on ports 1-4 are isolated from each other but can communicate with uplink ports.
6. Manutenzjoni
6.1 Tindif
- Ensure the switch is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
- Uża drapp ratba u niexfa biex timsaħ in-naħa ta 'barra tal-apparat.
- Tużax prodotti tat-tindif likwidi jew aerosols, għax jistgħu jagħmlu ħsara lill-apparat.
6.2 Konsiderazzjonijiet Ambjentali
- Operate the switch within the specified temperature range of -10°C to 55°C (14°F to 131°F).
- Avoid placing the switch in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
- Ensure proper airflow around the device, especially since it is fanless and relies on passive cooling.
- Keep the switch away from moisture and excessive dust.

7 Issolvi l-problemi
If you encounter issues with your MokerLink PoE Switch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| L-ebda indikazzjoni tal-LED tal-Enerġija | Power cable not connected or faulty power source. | Ensure the AC power cable is securely connected to the switch and a working power outlet. Test the outlet with another device. |
| L-ebda LED Link/Act għal apparat konness | Faulty Ethernet cable, incorrect port connection, or device issue. | Verify the Ethernet cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different cable. Ensure the device is powered on and functioning correctly. |
| PoE device not receiving power (PoE LED off) | Device is not PoE-compatible, cable issue, or power budget exceeded. | Confirm the device is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant. Check the Ethernet cable for damage. Ensure the total power consumption of all PoE devices does not exceed 78W. |
| Slow network speed in Extend mode | Din hija imġieba mistennija. | In Extend mode, the speed is intentionally reduced to 10Mbps to achieve longer transmission distances. This is not a fault. |
| Devices on PoE ports cannot communicate with each other | Extend mode is active, enabling port isolation. | This is the intended function of port isolation in Extend mode. If direct communication between PoE devices is required, switch the device to Default mode. |
