1.6 Shortcut Buttons (DIP Switches)

Some Switch settings can be applied using the Shortcut Buttons (DIP Switches), without the need to log into the Switch interface.

DIP Switch	Function when in ON position
AI QOS	Improve video data processing capabilities and improve the monitoring of Caton and Mosaic phenomena on the network.
AI Extend	Set ports 1 to 8 rate to 10Mbps, but the transmission distance increases up to 250 meters.
AI VLAN	Isolate RJ45 ports (1-8), (1-16), (1-24) from each other, suppress network storms and improve network performance. Uplink ports (9-10), (17-18), (25-26) continue to communicate with all ports.
AI PoE	Automatically restart a remote device by disabling and re-enabling PoE on the port if it detects the remote device has locked up (no incoming traffic).
