Understanding DIP Switch Functions and Indicator Lights

The DIP switch of the 8-Port PoE Switch offers a selection of network modes, including VLAN isolation mode, normal mode, and extend mode. In VLAN mode, the PoE ports (1-8) cannot communicate with each other and can only communicate with the uplink port, suitable for scenarios requiring isolation of different network segments.

In normal mode, all ports can communicate with each other, with a transmission distance within 100 meters, suitable for general network needs. The extend mode allows the PoE power supply and data transmission distance of ports 1-8 to be extended to 250 meters, suitable for larger network layouts. 

The different states of the indicator lights provide intuitive information about network status and PoE power supply. For example, a green light indicates a normal connection, flashing indicates data transmission, and off indicates disconnection. These indicator lights help users quickly identify network and device status, simplifying troubleshooting and network management.
