| LED npe | xwm txheej | Kev piav qhia |
|---|---|---|
| Hwj chim | On | Tus ntaus ntawv yog powered on. |
| LINK / ACT (rau qhov chaw nres nkoj) | On | A network device is connected and a link is established. |
| Flashing | Cov ntaub ntawv raug xa los yog tau txais los ntawm qhov chaw nres nkoj. | |
| 1000/100/10M (rau qhov chaw nres nkoj) | Ntsuab | Port is operating at 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). |
| Txiv kab ntxwv | Port is operating at 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet). | |
| Tawm | Port is operating at 10 Mbps (Ethernet). | |
| LOOP DETECT | On | A network loop has been detected. |
5.2 Loop Detection Function
The LSW3-GT-24NSR features a hardware switch for enabling or disabling the loop detection function. This function helps prevent network instability caused by accidental network loops.
Figure 4: Loop Detection Switch (ON/OFF).
- ON: Loop detection is active. If a loop is detected, the corresponding port will be automatically shut down to prevent network broadcast storms, and the LOOP DETECT LED will illuminate.
- Tawm: Loop detection is disabled.
It is recommended to keep the loop detection function ON for network stability.
6. Kev tu
6.1 Ntxuav lub cuab yeej
To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the exterior of the switch.
- Disconnect the power cable before cleaning.
- Siv ib daim ntaub mos, qhuav los so qhov chaw.
- Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosols, or solvents, as these may damage the casing los yog cov khoom siv sab hauv.
6.2 Kev txiav txim siab ib puag ncig
Ensure the device is operated within its specified environmental conditions:
- Kub: 0 ° C txog 40 ° C (32 ° F txog 104 ° F)
- Humidity: 10% mus rau 85% (tsis-condensing)
7. Kev daws teeb meem
If you encounter issues with your BUFFALO Giga Switching Hub, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
7.1 Tsis muaj zog
- Cov tsos mob: POWER LED yog tawm.
- Kev daws: Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the device and the power outlet. Ensure the power outlet is functional.
7.2 No Link or Slow Speed on a Port
- Cov tsos mob: The LINK/ACT LED for a connected port is off, or the 1000/100/10M LED indicates a lower speed than expected (e.g., 100M instead of 1000M).
- Kev daws:
- Verify the Ethernet cable is securely connected at both ends.
- Try a different Ethernet cable. Ensure it is a Category 5e or higher cable for Gigabit speeds.
- Txuas lub cuab yeej rau lwm qhov chaw nres nkoj ntawm qhov hloov.
- Check the network adapter settings on the connected device (computer, server) to ensure it is configured for auto-negotiation or the correct speed.
7.3 Network Instability / LOOP DETECT LED is On
- Cov tsos mob: The LOOP DETECT LED is illuminated, and network performance is degraded or unstable.
- Kev daws:
- A network loop has been detected. This typically occurs when two ports on the same switch (or different switches) are connected to each other, creating an infinite data path.
- Carefully inspect your network cabling to identify and remove any redundant connections that form a loop.
- If the loop detection switch is ON, the affected port will be automatically shut down. Once the loop is resolved, the port should resume normal operation.
