Part#: PL-1008G
2. Hardware Installation
2.1. Before installation
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps: Install the Port
Desk-top Giga Ethernet Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Working
environment for the acceptable operation temperature and humidity ranges
Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic source, vibration, dust,
and direct sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the left and right hand side of the Switch for
ventilation.
Visually inspect the AC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power
adapter.
Do not stack any device upon the Switch
2.2. Installation
Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the
device must be first attached. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each
corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the
objects around it.
3. Troubleshooting
The Power LED is not lit
Check if the AC power cord is well connected. Try to unplug and plug back in the power
cord to the switch or try another power outlet.
The Link LED is not lit
Make sure the network configuration of connecting device is correct, and network card and
drivers are installed correctly.
Check the cable connections.
Make sure the cable distance between the switch and other IEEE802.3 compatible network
device does not exceed 100 meters.
Performance is bad
Check the status of Ethernet switching. If Ethernet switching is set to full-duplex on one
device but a partner is set to half-duplex, then performance will be poor.
Make sure the cable between the switch and other IEEE802.3 compatible network device
is Category 5 UTP or better.
Some devices can’t talk to other devices on the network
Check status of the Link LEDs to make sure devices are linked.
Make sure that the devices' network configurations are correct.
Reset the switch if needed.
