5. Maintenance

5-1. Resolving No Link Condition

The possible causes for a no link LED status are as follows:

zThe attached device is not powered on

zThe cable may not be the correct type or is faulty

zThe installed building premise cable is faulty

zThe port may be faulty

5-2. Q&A

1.Computer A can connect to Computer B, but cannot connect to Computer C through the 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch.

9 The network device of Computer C may fail to work. Please check the link/act status of Computer C on the LED indicator. Try another network device on this connection.

9 The network configuration for Computer C may be something wrong. Please verify the network configuration on Computer C.

2.The uplink connection function fails to work.

9Please make sure that ports on the opposing device are connection ports. Please check if connection ports are used on that 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch.

9Please check the uplink setup of the 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch to verify the uplink function is enabled.

3.There is no console interface seen to be built on the device.

924-Port GbE Web Smart Switch has no console port, so you cannot use console interface to connect with 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch.

4.How to configure the 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch.

9User can use an Internet browser such as IE in Window® series of computers to control the web smart functions of 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch. First, choose any port on the 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch. Then, use IE and type default IP address, 192.168.1.1, to connect to the 24-Port GbE Web Smart with RJ45 network cable. Finally, the login screen will

appear at once.
