  • REP : Indique l'état de l'alimentation.
• Puissance d'entrée : 12V DC power jack.

3. Configuration et installation

The NICGIGA 6 Port 2.5G Unmanaged Ethernet Switch is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. No software configuration is required.

3.1 Connexion de l'interrupteur

1. Connecter l'alimentation : Plug the provided 12V DC power adapter into the switch's power input port and then into a standard electrical outlet. The PWR LED should illuminate.
2. Connecter des appareils :
   • For RJ45 devices (e.g., computers, NAS, WiFi 6 APs): Connect standard Ethernet cables from your devices to any of the 2.5G RJ45 ports (1-4) on the switch.
   • For SFP+ devices (e.g., servers, other switches): Insert compatible SFP/SFP+ modules (not included) into the 10G SFP+ ports (5-6) and connect appropriate fiber optic or DAC cables to your devices.
3. Vérifiez la connexion : Once devices are connected, observe the Link/Act and 2.5G Link LEDs on the front panel. A solid yellow Link/Act LED indicates a successful link, and a blinking yellow LED indicates data activity. A solid green 2.5G Link LED indicates a 2.5Gbps connection.

• Alimentation: Use only the original power adapter provided with the switch.
• Micrologiciel : As an unmanaged switch, firmware updates are generally not applicable.

6. Dépannage

If you encounter issues with your NICGIGA Ethernet Switch, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

6.1 Pas d'alimentation

• Vérifiez la connexion électrique : Assurez-vous que l'adaptateur secteur est correctement branché à l'interrupteur et à une prise électrique fonctionnelle.
• Vérifier le point de vente : Testez la prise électrique avec un autre appareil pour confirmer qu'elle fournit du courant.
• Adaptateur secteur : Ensure you are using the correct 12V DC power adapter supplied with the switch.

6.2 No Link Light

• Câble de connexion: Assurez-vous que le câble Ethernet est correctement branché à la fois au port du commutateur et à l'appareil connecté.
• Intégrité du câble : Test the Ethernet cable with another device or replace it to rule out a faulty cable.
• Statut du périphérique: Ensure the connected device (e.g., computer, router) is powered on and its network adapter is enabled.
• Compatibilité des ports : While the RJ45 ports are adaptive, ensure the connected device's network card is functioning correctly. For SFP+ ports, verify that the SFP/SFP+ module and cable are compatible and correctly installed.

6.3 Débit réseau lent

• Qualité du câble : Use high-quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher for Gigabit, Cat6a or higher for 2.5G/10G) to ensure optimal performance.
• Capacité de l'appareil : Verify that your connected devices (network cards, NAS, router) support 2.5G or 10G speeds. The 2.5G Link LED should be green for 2.5Gbps connections on RJ45 ports.
• Congestion du réseau : High network traffic from other devices might affect overall speed.
• Module SFP+ : For SFP+ ports, ensure the installed module supports the desired speed (1G, 2.5G, or 10G).
