Tips & Notes
• If you have your own network or system administrator for your network (as will probably be
the case in a larger company), please let this person assume the responsibility for connection
and wiring. Do NOT connect the gigabit switch yourself!
• The twisted-pair cable (also called a patch cable) between the gigabit switch and the device
to be connected should have a max. length of 100 m. Use only so-called CAT5e cables that
are fully wired (all 8 contacts of the RJ45 connector are connected 1:1).
• When connecting several network switches you can use conventional 1:1 connected network
cables because the gigabit switch supplied has an auto uplink function. Thus, expensive
crosslink cables are not necessary.
• The maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 10, 100 or 1000MBit/s is usually not achieved
in practice (e.g. 1000MBit = approx. 125MByte/s) During data transmission, not only data,
but also protocol information etc is transmitted, data packages must be repeated or different
computers may want to transmit data at the same time. Furthermore, the data for example
may need to be read off the hard disk of one computer and written onto the hard disk of
another computer.
• If the gigabit switch is not supplied with power, all the connections will be out of operation. A
network connection is not possible.
• You can check the network connection by means of the LED on each network port of the
gigabit switch.
The corresponding LED lights up steadily when there is a good network connection or it
fl ashes during data transmission.
If the LED goes out, please check the following:
- Is the power-LED on the gigabit on? If no, check the gigabit switch's power supply.
- Is the connected network device (e.g. computer) switched on?
- Is the network cabling correct? For test purposes, use another network cable or check
whether the RJ45 connect pins are inserted properly in the corresponding socket. If net-
work sockets are used, check their cabling.
• In comparison to other network switches, the gigabit switch saves energy because it auto-
matically switches off unused ports or changes their mode to stand-by mode.
Furthermore, depending on the cable length and the design of the network cable connected,
the gigabit switch can reduce the energy required for data transfer, which thus helps to save
more energy.
This technology complies with the IEEE 802.3az standard.
