4.2 Opcións de montaxe

The GS305P switch can be placed on a desktop or mounted on a wall. A wallmount kit is included for secure installation.

• Colocación do escritorio: Ensure the switch is placed on a flat, stable surface with adequate ventilation.
• Montaxe na parede: Use the provided wallmount kit to secure the switch to a wall. Refer to the quick installation guide for detailed steps on wall mounting.

5. Funcionamento do interruptor

Once connected, the switch operates automatically. The LEDs provide visual feedback on the network status.

• Encendido: The Power LED will be green when the switch is receiving power.
• Network Activity: The Link/Activity LEDs will light up when a device is connected and blink to indicate data transmission.
• Potencia PoE: For PoE-powered devices, the PoE Status LED will be green when power is being supplied. If a PoE fault occurs, the LED will turn yellow.
• Funcionamento silencioso: The fanless design ensures quiet operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments.

6. Mantemento

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Limpeza: Usa un pano suave e seco para limpar o exterior do interruptor. Non empregues produtos de limpeza líquidos nin en aerosol.
• Ventilación: Asegúrese de que as aberturas de ventilación non estean bloqueadas para evitar o sobrequecemento.
• Ambiente: Operate the switch within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
• Xestión de cables Manteña os cables de rede organizados para evitar tensión nos portos e mellorar o fluxo de aire.

7 Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your NETGEAR GS305P switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Sen enerxía: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the switch and a working electrical outlet. Check the Power LED.
• Sen ligazón/actividade: Verify that Ethernet cables are properly connected to both the switch and the connected device. Try a different cable or port. Check the Link/Activity LED.
• O dispositivo PoE non se acende: Ensure the device is PoE-compatible and connected to one of the PoE+ ports (1-4). Check the PoE Status LED for the port; a yellow light indicates a fault. Verify the total power budget (63W) is not exceeded by all connected PoE devices.
• Velocidade de rede lenta: Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet for optimal performance. Check for excessive network traffic.
