[T1600-52PS] Getting Configured
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hey everyone,
New here, and have very little knowledge with swtiches, etc. I am helping out my mother who opened a business, and has 29 Cat6 lines running to a Patch Panel. I purchased the TP Link T1600-52PS, and when I connect from the Arris Modem/Router to the switch, I sometimes get 1 port with an internet connection sometimes none. I am not sure how to configure the UI, but from reading several posts it looks like I need to set up VLANs and DHCP. Is there something I should look out for? What is the easiest way to get up and running?
I will be connecting 4 VoIP phones, 2 TP-Link Wireless APs, 4 IP Cameras which all need PoE. I will also have 9 Desktops on the network.
My mother brought in some IT guy, who said the switch wasn't the right one and charged $1,000 to install an 8 port unmanaged switch with a Netgear Nighthawk Router. That seemed like he just ripped her off.
