• Nessun potere: 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.
• Nessun LED di collegamento/attività: 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.
• Prova un cavo Ethernet diverso.
• Assicurarsi che il dispositivo connesso sia acceso e che la sua scheda di rete funzioni correttamente.
• Prova a connettere il dispositivo a una porta diversa sullo switch.
• Bassa velocità di rete: 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.
• Connettività intermittente: 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.
