Model FS516/FS524 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide
When power has been applied to the switch:
• The green Pwr (Power) LED on the front panel is on.
• The green Link LED on each connected port is on.
When the switch is connected and operating, refer to the table in “LEDs” for
information about the LEDs and their activity.
Symptom Cause Solution
Power LED is
off.
No power is
received at the
hub.
Check the power cord connections for the switch
and the connected device.
Check for a defective adapter card, cable, or
port by testing them in an alternate environment
where all products are functioning.
Make sure all cables used are correct and
comply with Ethernet specifications.
Link LED is off or
intermittent.
Port connection is
not functioning.
Check the crimp on the RJ-45 connectors and
make sure that the plug is properly inserted and
locked into the port at both the switch and the
connecting device.
Make sure all cables used are correct and
comply with Ethernet specifications.
File transfer is
slow or
performance
degradation is a
problem.
Half- or full-duplex
setting on the
NETGEAR switch
and the connected
device are not the
same.
Make sure the 10/100 Mbps port is set to auto-
duplex (AUTO) mode when connecting the
switch to a repeater or hub.
One or more
components are
malfunctioning.
Not all system
components are
properly installed.
Test the components in an alternate
environment where all other components are
functioning properly.
A segment or
device is not
recognized as
part of the
network.
One or more
devices are not
properly
connected, or
cabling does not
meet Ethernet
guidelines.
Verify that the cabling is correct. 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.
Rx/Tx/Collision
LED is blinking
yellow
Collisions are
occurring on the
connected
segment.
This situation is normal in Ethernet operation
when ports/segments are configured for half-
duplex mode.
Duplex modes are
mismatched.
Recheck the duplex toggle switch settings and
the remote link configuration.
