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 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: 100_ Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps

connections or 100_ Cat-5 or Cat-5e cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be

sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100

meters (328 feet). Gigabit port should use Cat-5e or cat-6 cable for 1000Mbps

connections. The length does not exceed 100 meters. For more information
