5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Encès/Apagat

Once the power adapter is connected, the switch will power on automatically. There is no manual power button. The Power LED on the front panel will illuminate to indicate the device is operational.

5.2 Indicadors LED

Each Ethernet port has LED indicators to show its status:

• LED d'enllaç/Actuar: Solid green indicates a valid network link. Blinking green indicates network activity (data transmission).
• LED de velocitat: (If applicable, typically integrated with Link/Act or separate) Indicates the connection speed (e.g., green for Gigabit, amber for 10/100 Mbps).

5.3 Funcions automàtiques

The SG112-24 includes several automatic features for optimal network performance:

• Qualitat de servei (QoS): Automatically prioritizes network traffic for critical applications.
• Detecció de bucle: Helps prevent network loops that can cause broadcast storms and network outages.
• Diagnòstic de cables: Assists in identifying cable issues for easier troubleshooting.

8. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your Cisco SG112-24 switch, consider the following:

• Sense energia: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Check the Power LED on the front panel.
• Sense enllaç/activitat: Verify that Ethernet cables are properly connected to both the switch port and the network device. Check the Link/Act LED for a solid green light (link) or blinking (activity). Try a different cable or port.
• Velocitat de xarxa lenta: Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet for optimal performance. The switch's automatic features (QoS, cable diagnostics) can help identify bottlenecks.
• Network Loops: The switch includes loop detection to prevent network outages caused by redundant connections. If a loop is detected, the affected port may be disabled or indicated by a specific LED pattern (refer to the Quick Start Guide for details).
