Funcionament de l'interruptor
Indicadors LED
The front panel of the switch features several LED indicators to provide status information:
- LED d'alimentació: S'il·lumina quan l'interruptor està encès.
- LINK/ACT LEDs (1-5): For each port, this LED indicates network activity and connection status.
- Verd sòlid: A device is connected and operating at 1000 Mbps (Gigabit).
- Verd intermitent: Data is being transmitted or received at 1000 Mbps.
- Ambre sòlid: A device is connected and operating at 10/100 Mbps.
- Ambre intermitent: Data is being transmitted or received at 10/100 Mbps.
- Apagat: No hi ha cap dispositiu connectat o el dispositiu connectat està apagat.
Loop Prevention Function
The BS-GU2105 includes a loop prevention function to avoid network loops that can cause broadcast storms and network instability. This function can be enabled or disabled using the "LOOP PREVENTION" ON/OFF switch on the front panel.
- ACTIVITAT: Loop prevention is active. If a network loop is detected, the affected port will be temporarily disabled to prevent network disruption.
- DESACTIVAT: Loop prevention is inactive.
EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) Function
The Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) function (IEEE 802.3az) allows the switch to reduce power consumption during periods of low data activity. This function can be enabled or disabled using the "EEE" ON/OFF switch on the front panel.
- ACTIVITAT: EEE is active, reducing power consumption when network traffic is low.
- DESACTIVAT: EEE is inactive.
Manteniment
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your BUFFALO BS-GU2105 switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Mantingueu el dispositiu en un entorn net i sense pols.
- Ensure proper ventilation and do not block the air vents.
- Netegeu l'exterior de l'interruptor amb un drap suau i sec. No utilitzeu netejadors líquids ni en aerosol.
- Comproveu periòdicament les connexions dels cables per assegurar-vos que estiguin ben fixades.
Resolució de problemes
If you encounter issues with your BS-GU2105 switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Sense energia: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Check if the power outlet is functional.
- Sense LED d'enllaç/activitat: Verify that the Ethernet cable is properly connected to both the switch port and the network device. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly. Try a different cable or port.
- Velocitat de xarxa lenta: Check the LINK/ACT LED color. Green indicates Gigabit speed, while amber indicates 10/100 Mbps. Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet for optimal performance.
- Network Instability (if Loop Prevention is OFF): If you experience network instability or broadcast storms, ensure the "LOOP PREVENTION" switch is set to ON.
If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact technical support.
