What is the warranty and support policy?

Troubleshooting

Check that the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the switch and the device, and try a different cable to rule out damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup requires no configuration; simply connect the included DC power adapter to the device and link your equipment using standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables. The device features LED indicators for Power and LAN status, allowing you to monitor connectivity at a glance. To maintain optimal performance, ensure the switch is kept in a well-ventilated area within the operating temperature range of 0–40 °C. Because the device is small, avoid placing it under heavy equipment, and keep it away from sources of excess moisture.
