Frequently Asked Questions - LIVE-FSH8PS AIRLIVE

How to install the AirLive LIVE-FSH8PS switch?

Remove the switch from its packaging. Place the rubber pads under the feet. Connect the AC adapter; the Power LED lights up. Connect your network devices to the ports using RJ-45 cables (CAT5 for 100 Mbps). The Link/Act LED should light up or blink.

What to do if the Link/Act LED does not light up?

Check that the connected device is powered on and the cable is properly inserted. Test with another cable. Ensure the distance does not exceed 100 meters. The switch is plug-and-play; no configuration required.

How to interpret the switch LEDs?

Power LED: green on = power. Link/Act: green on = link established, blinking = activity. FDX/Col: yellow on = Full Duplex, off = Half Duplex, blinking = collisions. 100M: red on = 100 Mbps, off = 10 Mbps.

Can I use a crossover or straight-through cable?

The switch is equipped with Auto-MDI/MDI-X, so you can use either a straight-through or crossover cable to connect any type of device (PC, router, another switch).

What is the maximum cabling distance?

The maximum distance between the switch and a device is 100 meters for category 5 or higher UTP/STP cable. Beyond that, use a repeater.

How to configure the switch?

The LIVE-FSH8PS is an unmanaged switch: it requires no configuration. It works immediately after connection. For advanced features like VLAN, a managed model is needed.

What to do if my network does not work after connection?

Check the LEDs: Power should be on, Link/Act on each connected port. Ensure all devices are on the same IP subnet (e.g., 192.168.0.x). Avoid network loops: do not connect two cables between the switch and another switch without reason.

Does the switch support Gigabit?

No, this model is a Fast Ethernet switch (10/100 Mbps). For Gigabit, choose the Live-GSH5T/8T model.

How to clean the switch?

Unplug the power. Clean the casing with a soft dry cloth. Do not use liquid or abrasive products.

Is there a VLAN function on this model?

No, the LIVE-FSH8PS does not have a VLAN selector. The VLAN function is only available on the Live-FSH16T+ models. If you need VLAN, choose a switch from the Live-FSH16T+ series.

VLAN Selector (Live FSH16T+ only)

For normal operation, please make sure your VLAN switch is in "OFF" Position

Live-FSH16T+ is equipped with VLAN selector switch in the back panel. When activated, each port will be in its own VLAN group with 2 sharing ports. Ports in different VLAN groups cannot see each other. However, everyone can see the sharing port. Please make sure your VLAN selector is in "OFF" position if you are not using the VLAN function.

ON: Every port in its own VLAN group sharing Port 8 and 16
OFF: VLAN function off, the switch operates in normal mode

Connectivity Rules

Please avoid forming a network loop (see the diagram on the right) when connecting the cables. A network loop can cause the network to shutdown..
The maximum cable distance is 100 meter
Always check the LED lights for trouble shooting
Computers and network devices must be in the same IP subnet in order to see each other. For example, 198.168.0.1 can not see 192.192.1.1 for Class C subnet. You can find out the computer's IP address by typing "IPCONFIG" in WinNT/2000/XP's command line. For Win9x, run "WINIPCFG".
- Avoid operating device in 10Mbps full duplex mode if the device does not have auto-negotiation function.
