5. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

Once the switch is powered on and devices are connected, it operates automatically.

• Аўтаматычнае ўзгадненне: Each port automatically detects the speed (100Mbps, 1Gbps, or 2.5Gbps) and duplex mode (half/full) of the connected device and adjusts accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and compatibility across various network devices.
• Non-Blocking Architecture: The switch provides full wire-speed forwarding on all ports simultaneously, ensuring maximum throughput for all connected devices without bottlenecks.
• Unmanaged Operation: No configuration or software is required. Simply connect your devices, and the switch will manage data traffic efficiently.

6. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

The NICGIGA 24 Port 2.5Gb Ethernet Switch is designed for minimal maintenance.

• Уборка: Для чысткі вонкавага боку перамыкача выкарыстоўвайце мяккую сухую тканіну. Не выкарыстоўвайце вадкія або аэразольныя ачышчальнікі.
• Вентыляцыя: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation. The fanless design relies on natural convection.
• Асяроддзе: Operate the switch within its specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

7. Выпраўленне непаладак

If you encounter issues with your NICGIGA 24 Port 2.5Gb Ethernet Switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

1. Няма харчавання:
   • Пераканайцеся, што адаптар сілкавання надзейна падключаны як да камутатара, так і да спраўнай разеткі.
   • Праверце працаздольнасць разеткі, падключыўшы да яе іншую прыладу.
   • Check the Power LED on the switch; it should be solid green when powered on.
2. Няма спасылкі/актыўнасці на порце:
   • Пераканайцеся, што кабель Ethernet надзейна падключаны як да порта камутатара, так і да падлучанай прылады.
   • Пераканайцеся, што падключаная прылада ўключана, а яе сеткавы адаптар працуе правільна.
   • Паспрабуйце іншы кабель Ethernet, каб выключыць праблемы з кабелем.
   • Праверце з іншым портам на камутатары.
   • Check the LED indicator for the specific port; if it's off, there's no link.
3. Павольная хуткасць сеткі:
   • Ensure all connected devices and network adapters support 2.5Gbps speeds for optimal performance. The switch will auto-negotiate to the highest common speed.
   • Use Cat5e or higher-rated Ethernet cables for 2.5Gbps connections.
   • Праверце наяўнасць празмернага сеткавага трафіку або вузкіх месцаў на іншых сеткавых прыладах.
4. Перарывістае падключэнне:
   • Inspect Ethernet cables for damage.
   • Ensure the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating, although it has a fanless design.
   • Праверце на наяўнасць патэнцыйных электрамагнітных перашкод ад іншых электронных прылад.
