Troubleshooting
Does the MES-6P-F switch have an uplink port?
An uplink port is not necessary. The MES-6P-F has Auto-MDI ports which automatically sense
the type of cable being used, i.e. a straight-through or a crossover cable.
What is the maximum length of Ethernet cable that can be used between the MES-6P-F
and other devices such as the NavNet 2, router, computer or another switch?
The
maximum length between a computer, the NavNet 2 or other Ethernet device on a
network is 100 meters or about 328 feet. Keep in mind that this is a theoretical limit. Usually
the distance should be kept well below this limit.
How do I know what the IP address is?
After the MES-6P-F has been installed and connected to a computer, by default, the TCP/IP
settings should be set to obtain an IP address.
To verify the IP address follow the steps below:
1. From your Windows main screen, click on
Start > Run.
2. In the
Run
box
type
cmd
and click
OK.
3. At the prompt, type
ipconfig
and press
Enter
. This will display the IP address,
subnet mask and default gateway of your switch.
4. Write the IP address down for troubleshooting purposes.
