Troubleshooting Tips • Make sure that the FS526Tv2 or FS728TLP Smart Switch is operational before you attempt to discover it. After you power up the FS526Tv2 or FS728TLP switch, wait at least two minutes before you click the Discover button on the Smart Control Center utility. • Make sure that the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in. For each powered-on device connected to the switch with a securely plugged in Ethernet cable, the corresponding port status LED will light. • Make sure the administrative computer's network settings are correct. In most cases, computers are configured to obtain an IP address automatically through DHCP. For help with this, see the FS526Tv2 and FS728TLP Software Administration Manual; a link to the online manual is on the Resource CD. If your network uses static IP addresses, be sure that the switch and computer are configured with valid IP addresses that are in the same subnet. Support Thank you for selecting NETGEAR products.
