Troubleshooting tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that might occur.
• Be sure to power on your computer and switch in the following sequence:
1. Turn on the switch and wait about two minutes.
2. Turn on the computer and connect it to the switch.
• Make sure the Ethernet cables are plugged in.
For each powered-on computer connected to the switch, the corresponding
switch LAN port status LED is lit.
• Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.
In most cases, computers should be configured to obtain an IP address
through DHCP. If your network uses static IP addresses, be sure that the
switch and computer are configured with valid IP addresses. For more
