2. Physical Description This chapter describes the GS516TP Gigabit PoE Smart Switch hardware features.
GS516TP Gigabit PoE Smart Switch GS516TP Front Panel and Back Panel Configuration The smart switch has sixteen 10/100/1000 Mbps copper ports. Each port is capable of sensing the line speed and negotiating the duplex mode with the link partner automatically. The following figure illustrates the front panel of the smart switch. PD15, PD16, Power, Fan, PoE Max LEDs Link/ACT LEDs Factory Defaults button Reset button PoE Status LEDs Figure 1.
GS516TP Gigabit PoE Smart Switch The following figure illustrates the smart switch back panel. Power connector Figure 2. Back panel The back panel contains a power connector. LED Designations This section describes the designations of the LEDs found in the front panel of the smart switch. Port LEDs The following table describes the RJ-45 port Link/ACT and PoE port status LED designations. Table 2-1. Port LEDs LED Designation Link/ACT LED mode for copper Link/ACT Mode LED: ports 1–16 • Off.
GS516TP Gigabit PoE Smart Switch System LEDs The following table describes the system LED designations. Table 2-2. System LEDs LED Designation Power • • • Solid green. The device is powered on; runtime code is operating. Blinking yellow. The device is in the boot stage. Off. Power is not supplied to the device. Fan • • Solid yellow. The fan has experienced a failure. Off . The fan is operating normally. Max PoE LED • • • Solid yellow. Less than 7W of PoE power is available. Blinking yellow.
GS516TP Gigabit PoE Smart Switch Reset Button The smart switch has a Reset button on the front panel to allow you to manually reboot the switch. This action is equivalent to powering the unit off and back on. The last saved configuration is loaded into the switch as it resets. To operate the Reset button, insert a device such as a paper clip into the opening to press the recessed button. The front panel LEDs turn off and light again as the switch performs its power-on self-test (POST).
3. Applications Your smart switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your network connections. It can be used as your only network traffic-distribution device or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps hubs and switches. This chapter describes the applications of the smart switch.
GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch Desktop Switching The smart switch can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to have 1000 Mbps access to a file server. With full-duplex mode enabled, the switch port connected to the server or computer can provide 2000 Mbps throughput. Figure 3.
GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch Backbone Switching You can use the smart switch as a backbone switch in a small network that gives users high-speed access to servers and other network devices. Figure 4.
4. 4 Installation This chapter describes the installation procedures for your GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch.
GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch Prepare the Site Before you install the switch, ensure that the operating environment meets the site requirements in the following table. Table 4-3. Site Requirements Characteristics Requirements Mounting • • Access Locate the switch in a position that allows you to access the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the front panel LEDs, and access the power connector. Power source Provide a power connection cord.
GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch 2. Insert the screws provided in the rack-mount kit through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch. 3. Tighten the screws with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket. 4. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert two pan-head screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack. 5. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure mounting brackets to the rack.
GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch Connect Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect computers to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The switch contains Auto Uplink technology, which allows the attaching of devices using either straight-through or crossover cables. Figure 5. Connecting devices to the switch Connect each computer to an RJ-45 network port on the switch front panel.
GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After selecting an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power. To apply AC power: 1. Connect the end of the power connection cable to the power receptacle on the back of the switch. 2. Connect the AC power connection cable into a power source such as a wall socket or power strip.
GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch Note: The switch is configured with a default IP address of 192.168.0.239 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
A. A Troubleshooting This chapter provides information about troubleshooting the NETGEAR Smart Switch.
GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch Troubleshooting Chart The following table lists symptoms and causes of and solutions to possible problems. Table A-4. Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Cause Solution Power LED is off. No power is received. Check the power cord connections and the connected device. Ensure that all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. Link LED is off or intermittent. Port connection is not working.
