6. Выпраўленне непаладак

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

6.1 Няма харчавання

• Праверце падключэнне сілкавання: Пераканайцеся, што адаптар сілкавання надзейна падключаны да камутатара і спраўнай электрычнай разеткі.
• Праверце разетку: Test the electrical outlet with another device to confirm it is supplying power.
• Адаптар сілкавання: Ensure you are using the correct 12V DC power adapter supplied with the switch.

6.2 No Link Light

• Кабельнае злучэнне: Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the switch port and the connected device.
• Цэласнасць кабеля: Test the Ethernet cable with another device or replace it to rule out a faulty cable.
• Статус прылады: Пераканайцеся, што падключаная прылада (напрыклад, камп'ютар, маршрутызатар) уключана, а яе сеткавы адаптар уключаны.
• Сумяшчальнасць партоў: 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 Павольная хуткасць сеткі

• Якасць кабеля: Use high-quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher for Gigabit, Cat6a or higher for 2.5G/10G) to ensure optimal performance.
• Магчымасці прылады: 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.
• Перагрузка сеткі: High network traffic from other devices might affect overall speed.
• Модуль SFP+: For SFP+ ports, ensure the installed module supports the desired speed (1G, 2.5G, or 10G).
