Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some tips for correcting simple problems you may have.

Be sure to power on your PC and smart switch in the correct sequence.

Follow this sequence. Turn off the smart switch and computer. First, turn on the
smart switch and wait two minutes. Next turn on the computer.

Make sure the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.

For each powered on computer connected to the smart switch with a securely
plugged in Ethernet cable, the corresponding smart switch LAN port status light
will be lit.

Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.

In most cases, computers should be configured to obtain an IP address
automatically via DHCP. For help with this, please see the animated tutorials on
the CD or the Reference Manual Appendix C on the CD.

If your network uses static IP addresses, be sure the switch and computer are
configured with valid IP addresses.
