The switch is plug-and-play and does not require any software configuration. Once connected, devices should automatically detect the network and establish a connection.
4. Itilizasyon switch la
The NETGEAR ProSafe GS116 is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without user intervention. Simply connect your devices, and the switch will handle data traffic efficiently.
4.1 Endikatè ki ap dirije
The front panel of the switch features several LED indicators to provide status information:
- Pouvwa dirije:
- Solid vèt: Se switch la mache ak opere nòmalman.
- Off: Chanjman an pa resevwa pouvwa.
- LED Lyen/Aksyon (pa pò): Each RJ-45 port has two LEDs.
- Solid Green (left LED): A valid network link is established at 1000 Mbps (Gigabit speed).
- Flashing Green (left LED): Data activity is occurring on the 1000 Mbps link.
- Solid Amber (right LED): A valid network link is established at 10/100 Mbps.
- Flashing Amber (right LED): Data activity is occurring on the 10/100 Mbps link.
- Off: No network link is detected on the port.
These indicators help you quickly assess the status of your network connections.
5. Antretyen
The NETGEAR ProSafe GS116 switch is designed for reliable, maintenance-free operation. However, following these guidelines can help ensure its longevity:
- Netwayaj: Sèvi ak yon twal mou epi sèk pou netwaye deyò switch la. Pa sèvi ak pwodui netwayaj likid oswa ayewosòl.
- Vantilasyon: Ensure that the ventilation slots are not blocked. Proper airflow is crucial for dissipating heat.
- Anviwònman: Operate the switch within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid extreme conditions.
- Jesyon kab: Kenbe câbles rezo yo òganize epi san pli oswa pliye twòp pou anpeche degradasyon siyal la.
NAN. Depanaj
If you encounter issues with your NETGEAR ProSafe GS116 switch, try the following basic troubleshooting steps:
- Pa gen pouvwa:
- Check if the power adapter is securely connected to the switch and a working electrical outlet.
- Verify that the Power LED on the front panel is illuminated.
- Pa gen lyen sou yon pò:
- Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the switch port and the network device.
- Eseye yon lòt kab Ethernet.
- Connect a different network device to the same port to rule out an issue with the original device.
- Eseye konekte aparèy la nan yon pò diferan sou switch la.
- Verifye ke aparèy ki konekte a limen epi li fonksyone byen.
- Vitès rezo a ba:
- Check the Link/Act LEDs for the connected port. A green LED indicates Gigabit speed, while an amber LED indicates 10/100 Mbps.
- Asire w ke tout aparèy ak kab ki konekte yo sipòte Gigabit Ethernet pou yon pèfòmans optimal.
- Rekòmanse switch la ak aparèy ki konekte yo.
If problems persist after performing these steps, refer to the support information provided in Section 8.
