The rear panel includes the DC 12V 1A power input port.
4. Installation
The VIMIN 10-Port Ethernet Switch is designed for simple plug-and-play operation, requiring no software configuration.
4.1 Connexion d'alimentation
- Connect the provided power adapter to the DC 12V 1A power input port on the rear panel of the switch.
- Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The PWR LED on the front panel will illuminate, indicating the switch is powered on.
4.2 Connexion de l'appareil
- Connect your network devices (e.g., NAS, PC, Wireless AP, WiFi 7 Routers, 10G Adapter/NIC, Gaming PC, 4K/8K Video devices) to any of the RJ45 ports (1-10) using appropriate Ethernet cables.
- The switch automatically detects the speed and duplex mode of the connected device. The Link/Act LED for the respective port will light up when a valid connection is established and flash during data transmission.

5. Mode d'emploi
The VIMIN 10-Port Unmanaged Ethernet Switch operates automatically once connected, requiring no user intervention for basic network functions.
5.1 Négociation automatique
Each port on the switch supports auto-negotiation, automatically adjusting the transmission method and speed (10/100/1000/2500Mbps for ports 1-8, and up to 10Gbps for ports 9-10) to match the connected device. This ensures optimal performance without manual configuration.

5.2 Contrôle de flux
The switch supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode and backpressure for half-duplex mode. These mechanisms prevent data packet loss during periods of high network traffic by temporarily pausing data transmission from congested devices, ensuring stable and reliable connections.
6. Entretien
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VIMIN Ethernet Switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Nettoyage: Utilisez un chiffon doux et sec pour nettoyer l'extérieur de l'interrupteur. N'utilisez pas de nettoyants liquides ni en aérosol.
- Ventilation: Ensure proper airflow around the switch. Do not block ventilation openings. The fanless design relies on natural convection for cooling.
- Environnement: Placez l'interrupteur dans un endroit frais et sec, à l'abri de la lumière directe du soleil, des sources de chaleur et de l'humidité excessive.
- Pouvoir: Utilisez uniquement l'adaptateur secteur fourni. Débranchez l'alimentation en cas d'orage ou en cas d'inutilisation prolongée.
7. Dépannage
If you encounter issues with your VIMIN Ethernet Switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Pas d'alimentation :
- Assurez-vous que l'adaptateur secteur est correctement branché à la fois à l'interrupteur et à une prise électrique fonctionnelle.
- Vérifiez le bon fonctionnement de la prise de courant en y branchant un autre appareil.
- Check if the PWR LED on the switch is illuminated.
- Aucun lien/activité sur un port :
- Vérifiez que le câble Ethernet est correctement connecté à la fois au port du commutateur et au périphérique connecté.
- Vérifiez que l'appareil connecté est allumé et fonctionne correctement.
- Essayez un autre câble Ethernet pour exclure une défaillance du câble.
- Testez avec un autre port du commutateur.
- Vitesse du réseau lente :
- Ensure you are using appropriate cable types (e.g., CAT6 or CAT6A/7 for 2.5G/10G connections) as indicated in Section 4.3.
- Check the network adapter settings on your connected device to ensure it supports the desired speed.
- Verify that the Link/Act LED indicates the expected speed (e.g., green for 2.5G/10G).
- Réduisez la congestion du réseau en limitant les activités simultanées à large bande passante.
- Connexion intermittente :
- Vérifiez les connexions de câble desserrées.
- Ensure the switch is placed in a stable environment, free from excessive vibrations or temperature fluctuations.
- Consider potential electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices.
