3. Hardware Overview
Figure 3.1: Front Panel Layout
Detailed front view of the TEG-S591 switch, highlighting the eight 2.5G RJ-45 ports (1-8), one 10G RJ-45 port (9), and the corresponding LED indicators for power, link, and activity.
Figure 3.2: Rear Panel Layout
Rear view of the TEG-S591 switch, displaying the DC power input port and ventilation slots.
The TEG-S591 features a durable metal housing with ventilation for heat dissipation. The front panel includes LED indicators for power and port status, while the rear panel houses the DC power input.
LED Indicators:
- PWR: Indicates power status. On when the device is powered.
- Ports 1-8 (2.5G LINK/ACT): Indicates link status and activity for 2.5G ports.
- Port 9 (10G LINK/ACT): Indicates link status and activity for the 10G port.
4. Setup
The TRENDnet TEG-S591 is an unmanaged switch, designed for plug-and-play operation. No software configuration is required.
- Power Connection: Connect the included power adapter to the DC IN port on the rear of the switch and then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The PWR LED on the front panel will illuminate.
- Network Device Connection: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, servers, network-attached storage, routers, access points) to any of the RJ-45 ports (1-9) using standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e or better for 2.5G, Cat6a or better for 10G).
- Verify Connection: Once a device is connected, the corresponding LINK/ACT LED for that port will illuminate, indicating an active network link. The LED will blink to show data activity.

5. Operating
The TEG-S591 operates automatically once connected. It functions as a store-and-forward device, ensuring reliable data transmission. The switch supports auto-negotiation for speed and duplex mode, and auto-MDI/MDIX, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
The fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for quiet environments such as home offices or living rooms.
6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your TRENDnet TEG-S591 switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Environmental Conditions: Operate the switch within the specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the switch. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
- Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation slots are not blocked to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Cable Management: Organize network cables to prevent strain on the ports and to maintain a tidy setup.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TEG-S591 switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working electrical outlet. Check if the PWR LED is illuminated.
- No Link Light: Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the switch port and the connected device. Try a different Ethernet cable or port. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Slow Network Speed: Confirm that your connected devices and cables support the desired multi-gigabit speeds (2.5G or 10G). Ensure you are using Cat5e or better cabling for 2.5G, and Cat6a or better for 10G connections. Check for network congestion or issues with the connected devices.
- Intermittent Connectivity: Check all cable connections for looseness or damage. Ensure the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
