How to install TRENDnet TI-G102i

• Mount the TI-G102i on a standard 35 mm DIN rail inside a suitable industrial enclosure or cabinet. Ensure there is adequate clearance for cooling and cable management.
• Connect a 12–60 V DC power source to the device’s power input terminals, observing correct polarity. Verify power is stable before proceeding.
• Install any required SFP modules into the two SFP slots, matching the type (fiber or copper) to your uplink plan. Attach the corresponding cables securely to the SFP ports.
• Connect devices to the 8 RJ-45 ports for data-plane access. Route cables to minimize interference and maintain orderly cable paths within the panel.
• Access the management interface (web UI or CLI) to configure Layer 2 features such as VLANs, QoS, and link aggregation as needed. Save settings and perform a basic health check to confirm port status and link integrity.
• Test uplink performance through the SFP ports, then monitor the MAC address table and frame sizes to ensure jumbo frames are functioning as intended for large data transfers.
• Document the installation with port assignments and IP addresses for future maintenance, and ensure the device remains within its specified operating temperature range.
