Maintenance and Cleaning
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for any reason.
Disconnect the product from the power supply before cleaning, pull the power plug out of the
mains socket (all network connections cease to function).
Dust can easily be removed using a clean, soft brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use aggressive detergents as this can cause discolouration.
While cleaning, do not press the surface too hard to avoid scratches.
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 denoted as patch cable) between the gigabit switch and the device
to be connected should have a max. length of 100m. Use only so-called CAT5e cables that are
fully wired (all 8 contacts of the RJ45 connector are connected 1:1).
• 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 com-
puters may want to transmit data at the same time. Furthermore, the data must e.g., 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 control the network connection with the help of the green LED in each RJ45 network-
socket available on the gigabit switch.
The LED lights up in the Steady mode when there is a smooth network connection or it flash-
es during data transmission.
If the green LED goes off, please check the following:
- Is the power-LED on the gigabit switch on? If no, check the power supply of the gigabit
switch.
- Is the connected device (e.g. computer) switched on?
- Is the network cabling faultless? For test purposes, use another networkcable or check
whether the RJ45 connect pins are inserted properly in the corresponding socket. If network
sockets are used, check their cabling.
Disposal
