Frequently Asked Questions - ZEW1642S Zonet

How do I power on the Zonet ZEW1642S switch?

Connect the external AC adapter to the switch and plug it into a power outlet. The power LED will light up when powered.

What type of Ethernet cables should I use?

Use standard Cat5e or Cat6 UTP cables for 10/100 Mbps connections. The switch supports auto MDI/MDIX, so crossover cables are not required.

How do I connect the switch to my router?

Connect an Ethernet cable from any LAN port on your router to any port on the ZEW1642S switch. The switch will automatically detect and configure the connection.

Why are the link LEDs not lighting up?

Check that the Ethernet cables are securely connected at both ends. Ensure the connected devices are powered on and that the cables are not damaged. Try a different port or cable.

Can I mount the switch on a rack?

Yes, the ZEW1642S is designed for desktop use but includes mounting brackets for standard 19-inch racks. Attach the brackets using the provided screws.

What is the maximum cable length supported?

The switch supports Ethernet cable lengths up to 100 meters (328 feet) per segment as per IEEE 802.3 standards.

Does the switch support VLAN or QoS?

No, the ZEW1642S is an unmanaged switch and does not support VLAN, QoS, or other advanced management features. It provides plug-and-play operation.

How do I clean and maintain the switch?

Turn off and unplug the switch. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquids or sprays. Ensure vents are free of dust.

What do the LEDs indicate?

The Power LED indicates the switch is receiving power. Each port has a Link/Act LED that lights up when a connection is established and blinks during activity.

Is the switch compatible with gigabit devices?

Yes, it is backward compatible. Gigabit devices will connect at 100 Mbps (the maximum speed of the switch). For full gigabit speed, use a gigabit switch.

Chapter 6. TroubleShooting

This chapter provides solutions to problems that may occur during the installation and operation of ZEW1642S. Read the descriptions below to solve your problems.

Q1. The ZEW1642S does not work properly.

A: Reinsert ZEW1642S into your PC's PCI slot.

Right click on My Computer and select Properties. Select the device manager and click on the Network Adapter. You will find ZEW1642S if it is installed successfully. If you see the yellow exclamation mark, the resources are conflicting. You will see the status of ZEW1642S. If there is a yellow question mark, please check the following:

Make sure that your PC has a free IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest, a hardware interrupt on a PC.)

Make sure that you have inserted the right adapter and installed the proper driver. If ZEW1642S does not function after attempting the above steps, remove it and do the following:

Uninstall the driver software from your PC.

Restart your PC and repeat the hardware and software installation as specified in this User Guide.

Q2. I cannot communicate with the other computers linked via Ethernet in the Infrastructure configuration.

A: Make sure that the PC to which ZEW1642S is associated is powered on. Make sure that ZEW1642S is configured on the same channel and with the same security options as with the other computers in the Infrastructure configuration.

Q3. What should I do when the computer with ZEW1642S installed is unable to connect to the wireless network and/or the Internet?

A: Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are indicating normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the broadband connection.

Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning properly. If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.

Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings are correctly entered for the network.

In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier (SSID) is specified on the settings for the wireless clients and access points.

In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same SSID. Please note that it might be necessary to set up one client to establish a BSS (Basic

Service Set) and wait briefly before setting up other clients. This prevents several clients from trying to establish a BSS at the same time, which can result in multiple singular BSSs being established, rather than a single BSS with multiple clients associated to it.

Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured properly.

If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are entered on both ZEW1642S and the access point.
