3. Funcionament de l'interruptor

Once connected, the TL-SG105-M2 operates automatically. It is an unmanaged switch, meaning it requires no user configuration for basic network functionality. The auto-negotiation feature ensures optimal performance for all connected devices by automatically adjusting link speeds (100Mb/1G/2.5G).

Indicadors LED:

• LED d'alimentació: Indicates the power status of the switch. On: Power on. Off: Power off.
• Link/Act LEDs (Left LED - Green): On: Running at 2.5 Gbps. Blinking: Transmitting/receiving data.
• Link/Act LEDs (Right LED - Green): On: Running at 1 Gbps. Blinking: Transmitting/receiving data.
• Link/Act LEDs (Right LED - Yellow): On: Running at 100 Mbps. Blinking: Transmitting/receiving data.

The fanless design of the switch ensures silent operation, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments like homes and offices. Its durable metal casing also contributes to good heat dissipation, maintaining stable performance.

4. Manteniment

The TP-Link TL-SG105-M2 is designed for minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Keep the device in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating, although its fanless design aids in heat dissipation.
• Regularly clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation.
• Eviteu col·locar objectes pesats a la part superior de l'interruptor.
• Ensure all cable connections are secure and undamaged.

5. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your TL-SG105-M2 switch, consider the following:

• Sense energia: Check if the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and the power outlet. Ensure the power outlet is functional.
• Sense LED d'enllaç/activitat: Verify that the Ethernet cables are correctly plugged into both the switch and the connected device. Try using a different Ethernet cable or connecting to a different port on the switch. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
• Velocitat de xarxa lenta: Confirm that your connected devices and cables support 2.5G speeds. While the switch supports auto-negotiation, older cables (e.g., Cat5) might limit performance. Ensure your router/modem is providing the expected internet speed.
• Connexió intermitent: Check for loose cable connections. Ensure the switch is not placed near sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
