Frequently Asked Questions - GS-216P Getnet

How do I set up the Getnet GS-216P switch?

Connect the power adapter, then connect network devices to the RJ-45 ports using Cat 5 UTP cables. The switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables. The green Link/Act LED will light up when a device is connected and powered on.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The Power LED (green) is on when the switch is receiving power. Each port has a Link/Activity LED (green): solid when a link is established, flashing during data transmission, and off when no link is present.

The Power LED is not lit. What should I do?

Check that the power adapter is properly connected to the switch and to a working power outlet. Ensure the power jack is firmly plugged into the switch's power socket.

What should I do if the Link/Activity LED is not lit after connecting a device?

Verify the device is powered on and the network cable is securely connected to both the switch and the device. Ensure the cable is Cat 5 or better and does not exceed 100 meters. Try a different cable or port.

What types of cables can I use with the GS-216P?

The switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X, so both straight-through and crossover UTP cables work. For 100 Mbps, use Cat 5 or higher cable compliant with EIA/TIA 568 standards.

What is the maximum cable length for the switch?

The maximum cable length between the switch and a connected device is 100 meters (300 feet) when using UTP Cat 5 cable.

Does the switch support flow control?

Yes, it supports back pressure for half-duplex mode and IEEE 802.3x for full-duplex mode.

What are the operating temperature and humidity limits?

The switch operates in temperatures from 32°F to 131°F (0°C to 55°C) and humidity from 10% to 95% non-condensing.

How do I maintain the switch?

Keep the switch in a clean, dry location. Do not place objects on top or obstruct the side vents. Avoid exposure to heat sources, direct sunlight, and moisture.

Where can I find the user manual?

The manual is included in the package and can also be downloaded in PDF format from www.getnet.com.tw or from online resources like notice-facile.com.

1. Operating Environment

This switching hub must be installed and operated within the limits of specified operating temperature (32-131°F) and humidity (10\~95% Non-condensing).

• Do not place objects on top of the unit.
- Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the unit.
- Do not position the unit near any heating source such as heater, radiator, or direct exposure to sun.

Prevent entering of water and moisture into the unit. If necessary, use dehumidifier to reduce humidity.

2. Connecting to network devices

The RJ-45 ports on the switch support Auto-MDI/MDI-X function which allows using straight-through or cross-over type cables to connect this switch to workstation or hub.

Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 port on the rear panel, and connect the other end of the network cable to the RJ-45 port on the network device. Follow the same procedure to connect all the RJ-45 ports of the switch.

The UTP network cables must comply with EIA/TIA 568 specifications and Category 5 standard for 100Mbps data transmission. Maximum length: using UTP cable, between the switch and connected device is 100 meters (300ft).

Once the network cable is connected to both ends and the attached network device is powered on, the green LNK/ACT LED should be lit.
