It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology.

Common topology faults include excessive cable length and too many

repeaters ( hubs ) between end nodes. In addition, you should make

sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between

any two ends nodes,

there should be only one active cabling path at

any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will

severely impact your network performance.

Diagnosing LED Indicators

The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist

in identifying problems, which describes common problems you may

encounter and where you can find possible solutions.

IF the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is

plugged in, you may have a problem with power outlet, or power cord.

However, if the Switch powers off after running for a while, check for

loose power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. IF

you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for

assistance.

Cabling

RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair
( STP ) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable

for 10Mbps connections or 100Ω Category 5 cable for 100Mbps

connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair

connection does not exceed 100 meters ( 328 feet ).

100Base-FX fiber port: Fiber multi-mode connector type must use

50/125 or 62.5/125 um multi-mode fiber cable.
