4. Maagizo ya Kuweka
4.1. Kuunganisha Nguvu
- Connect the provided 24V 2.5A power adapter to the 'Power' input port (DC10-57V) on the router.
- Plug the IEC cord into the power adapter and then into a suitable power outlet.
- Alternatively, the device can be powered via Passive PoE-in on Ethernet port 1.
4.2. Miunganisho ya Mtandao
- Connect your internet source (e.g., modem) to Ethernet port 1 (labeled 'Internet' or 'PoE in').
- Connect your local network devices (computers, switches, access points) to Ethernet ports 2-5 (labeled 'LAN PoE out'). These ports can provide power to compatible devices.
- If using an SFP module for fiber connectivity, insert the SFP module into the SFP port.
4.3. Usanidi wa Awali
The hEX PoE RB960PGS runs MikroTik's RouterOS. Initial configuration can be done via a web browser or WinBox utility.
- Connect your computer directly to one of the LAN ports (e.g., port 2).
- Fungua a web kivinjari na uende kwenye anwani chaguo-msingi ya IP (kawaida http://192.168.88.1).
- Log in with the default username (admin) and no password. It is highly recommended to set a strong password immediately.
- Follow the Quick Set interface for basic internet and network setup, or access the full RouterOS configuration for advanced settings.
5. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji
5.1. Basic Routing
The router will automatically establish an internet connection if configured correctly. It acts as a DHCP server for your local network, assigning IP addresses to connected devices.
5.2. Power over Ethernet (PoE) Output
Ethernet ports 2-5 are capable of providing Power over Ethernet (PoE) output. This allows you to power other PoE-capable devices, such as IP cameras or wireless access points, directly from the router, reducing cable clutter.
- Pato la PoE juzuu yatage ni sawa na juzuu ya uingizajitage supplied to the router. Ensure connected devices are compatible with this voltage anuwai.
- Maximum current is 1A per port.
- The router supports 802.3at PoE output.
5.3. SFP Port Usage
The SFP port allows for optical fiber connectivity, providing high-speed and long-distance network links. Insert a compatible SFP module into the port and connect your fiber optic cable.
5.4. Matumizi ya Lango la USB
The USB 2.0 port can be used for various purposes, including connecting external storage devices, 3G/4G modems, or other USB peripherals supported by RouterOS.
6. Matengenezo
6.1. Sasisho za Firmware
Regularly update RouterOS firmware to ensure optimal performance, security, and access to new features. Updates can be performed via the RouterOS web interface or WinBox.
6.2. Kusafisha
Keep the device clean and free from dust to prevent overheating. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
6.3. Mazingatio ya Mazingira
Ensure the router is placed in a well-ventilated area. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
7. Utatuzi wa shida
7.1. Hakuna Nguvu
If the device does not power on, check the power adapter and IEC cord connections. Ensure the power outlet is functional. If using PoE-in, verify the PoE source is active and providing sufficient power.
7.2. Hakuna Muunganisho wa Mtandao
Verify all Ethernet cables are securely connected. Check the LED indicators on the ports for link activity. Ensure your internet service is active. If issues persist, try restarting the router.
7.3. Kuweka upya Kifaa
To reset the device to factory default settings, locate the 'Reset' button. With the device powered on, press and hold the reset button for approximately 5 seconds until the PWR LED starts flashing. Release the button to initiate the reset process.
