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. Cabling 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. Network Adapter Cards 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. Switch Integrity 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. 5-2 Troubleshooting
