Installation Guide for the Model FS508 Fast Ethernet Switch

Installation

Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components are

malfunctioning, test them in an alternate environment where all other components are functioning

properly.

Verify that the cabling is correct. Refer to

Appendix C, "Cabling

Guidelines." Be sure all cable

connectors are securely positioned in the required ports. Straight-through cables should be used

for all standard twisted pair connections.

Make sure all devices are connected to the network. Equipment may have been accidentally

disconnected.

Make sure the network adapter cards installed in the PCs are in working condition.

Conﬁguration

If problems occur after altering the network conﬁguration, restore the original connections and

determine the problem by implementing the new changes, one procedure at a time. Make sure

that cable distances, repeater limits, and other physical aspects of the installation do not exceed

the Ethernet limitations.

If required, verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch. Turn the power to the

switch off, and then turn the power to the switch back on. If the problem continues and you

have completed all the preceding diagnoses, contact your NETGEAR distributor.
