• Sem energia: If the Power LED is off, ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working electrical outlet. Try a different outlet if necessary.
• LED sem link/atividade: If a Link/Activity LED does not illuminate for a connected device:
• Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the switch port and the device's network port.
• Experimente com um cabo Ethernet diferente.
• Certifique-se de que o dispositivo conectado esteja ligado e que seu adaptador de rede esteja funcionando corretamente.
• Tente conectar o dispositivo a uma porta diferente no switch.
• Velocidade de rede lenta: If network performance is slower than expected:
• Check the Link/Activity LED color. Green indicates 100 Mbps, Amber indicates 10 Mbps. Ensure your devices and cables support 100 Mbps if desired.
• Ensure all connected devices are functioning optimally.
• Avoid using excessively long or damaged Ethernet cables. The maximum recommended cable length is 100 meters.
• Conectividade intermitente: If the switch occasionally stops functioning or loses connection, try restarting the device by unplugging and re-plugging the power adapter. If the issue persists, ensure the switch is not placed in an area prone to electromagnetic interference.
