КСНУМКС. Решавање проблема

If you encounter issues with your NICGIGA Ethernet Switch, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

6.1 Нема напајања

• Проверите везу за напајање: Уверите се да је адаптер за напајање безбедно повезан са прекидачем и исправном електричном утичницом.
• Проверите утичницу: Тестирајте електричну утичницу другим уређајем да бисте потврдили да ли напаја.
• Адаптер за напајање: Ensure you are using the correct 12V DC power adapter supplied with the switch.

6.2 No Link Light

• Кабловска веза: Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the switch port and the connected device.
• Интегритет кабла: Test the Ethernet cable with another device or replace it to rule out a faulty cable.
• Статус уређаја: Уверите се да је повезани уређај (нпр. рачунар, рутер) укључен и да је његов мрежни адаптер омогућен.
• Компатибилност портова: While the RJ45 ports are adaptive, ensure the connected device's network card is functioning correctly. For SFP+ ports, verify that the SFP/SFP+ module and cable are compatible and correctly installed.

6.3 Мала брзина мреже

• Квалитет кабла: Use high-quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher for Gigabit, Cat6a or higher for 2.5G/10G) to ensure optimal performance.
• Могућности уређаја: Verify that your connected devices (network cards, NAS, router) support 2.5G or 10G speeds. The 2.5G Link LED should be green for 2.5Gbps connections on RJ45 ports.
• Загушење мреже: High network traffic from other devices might affect overall speed.
• СФП+ модул: For SFP+ ports, ensure the installed module supports the desired speed (1G, 2.5G, or 10G).
