4. Configuración e instalación

4.1 Precaucións de seguridade

• Asegúrese de que a fonte de alimentación voltage matches the switch's requirements.
• Non bloquee as aberturas de ventilación.
• Evite colocar o interruptor baixo a luz solar directa, preto de fontes de calor ou en ambientes excesivamente húmidos.
• Use só o adaptador de alimentación proporcionado.

4.2 Colocación física

The switch can be placed on a desktop, mounted on a wall, or installed in a rack, depending on your needs and the included accessories.

Colocación do escritorio:

Place the switch on a flat, stable surface. Attach the included rubber feet to the bottom of the switch to prevent slipping and provide stability.

Montaxe na parede:

If wall mounting, use the provided mounting kit. Ensure the wall can support the weight of the switch and connected cables. Mark two points on the wall, drill holes, insert anchors, and secure the mounting screws, leaving a small gap for the switch's mounting slots.

4.3 Conexión do interruptor

1. Conectar dispositivos de rede: Connect your network devices (computers, servers, IP cameras, Wi-Fi APs, VoIP phones, etc.) to any of the 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports using standard Ethernet cables. For PoE-powered devices, ensure they are PoE-compatible.
2. Conectar á enerxía: Connect the provided power adapter to the switch's power input port on the rear panel, then plug the power adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
3. Verificar potencia: Once powered on, the Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.

5. Funcionamento do interruptor

The TP-LINK Festa FS308G is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates plug-and-play without requiring complex configuration. Once connected, it automatically detects network speeds and provides power to connected PoE devices.

5.1 Interpretación do estado dos LED

• LED de alimentación:
  • En: O interruptor está acendido.
  • Desactivado: O interruptor está apagado.
• LED PoE MÁXIMO:
  • En: The total PoE power consumption is at or near the maximum budget.
  • Intermitente: The total PoE power consumption has exceeded the maximum budget, and some PoE ports may be shut down.
  • Desactivado: PoE power consumption is within normal limits.
• PoE Status LEDs (per port):
  • En: The port is supplying PoE power to a connected device.
  • Desactivado: The port is not supplying PoE power.
• Speed/Link/Act LEDs (per port):
  • Verde (sólido): A Gigabit (1000Mbps) link is established.
  • Verde (intermitente): Data is being transmitted or received at Gigabit speed.
  • Ámbar (sólido): Establécese unha ligazón de 10/100 Mbps.
  • Amber (Flashing): Data is being transmitted or received at 10/100Mbps speed.
  • Desactivado: Non hai ningún dispositivo conectado ao porto ou o dispositivo conectado está apagado.

6. Mantemento

6.1 Limpeza

• Desconecte sempre a alimentación antes de limpar.
• Use un pano suave e seco para limpar o exterior do interruptor.
• Non use produtos de limpeza líquidos ou en aerosois.

6.2 Consideracións ambientais

• Asegúrese de que haxa unha ventilación axeitada arredor do interruptor para evitar o sobrequecemento.
• Operate the switch within the specified temperature and humidity ranges (refer to Specifications section).

6.3 Resetting the Switch

If the switch is not functioning correctly, you can perform a factory reset. With the switch powered on, use a paperclip or similar pointed object to press and hold the Reset button on the front panel for approximately 5-10 seconds until the LEDs flash. The switch will then reboot with factory default settings.

7 Solución de problemas

7.1 Sen enerxía

• Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the switch and the power outlet.
• Verifique que a toma de corrente funcione.
• Check if the power adapter is working correctly.

7.2 Sen ligazón/actividade nun porto

• Comprobe a conexión do cable Ethernet en ambos extremos. Probe cun cable diferente.
• Asegúrate de que o dispositivo conectado estea acendido e funcione correctamente.
• Verify that the network adapter of the connected device is enabled.
• Proba a conectar o dispositivo a un porto diferente do interruptor.

7.3 Velocidade de rede lenta

• Asegúrate de que todos os dispositivos e cables conectados sexan compatibles con Gigabit Ethernet para un rendemento óptimo.
• Comprobe se hai tráfico de rede excesivo ou aplicacións que requiren moito ancho de banda.
• Verify that the Speed/Link/Act LED for the port indicates a Gigabit connection (Green).

7.4 O dispositivo PoE non recibe enerxía

• Ensure the connected device is a PoE-compatible device (PD).
• Check the PoE Status LED for the port; it should be On.
• Verify that the total PoE power consumption is not exceeding the switch's budget (check PoE MAX LED). If it's flashing, disconnect some PoE devices or use a higher-power PoE switch.
• Proba cun cable Ethernet diferente.
