This image displays the front panel of the NETGEAR ProSAFE XS712T switch, showing the 12 10GBase-T ports, two combo SFP+ ports, and LED indicators for power, fan status, and port activity. The reset and factory defaults buttons are also visible on the left side.

Singa ao amin'ny tontonana eo anoloana:

• Hery LED: Manondro ny satan'ny herin'ny fitaovana.
• Mpankafy LED: Indicates the operational status of the cooling fan.
• bokotra Reset: Used to restart the switch.
• Factory Defaults Button: Used to restore the switch to its factory default settings.
• Seranan-tsambo RJ45 (1-10): 10GBase-T Ethernet ports for high-speed network connections. Each port has associated Link/Act LEDs (Left side LED: Blink=ACT, Off=No Link, Green=Link at 100M/1G; Right side LED: Blink=ACT, Off=No Link, Yellow=Link at 10G).
• Combo Ports (11, 12): These ports can function as either 10GBase-T RJ45 ports or SFP+ fiber ports. Each combo port has associated SFP+ Speed/ACT LEDs (Left side LED: Blink=ACT, Off=No Link, Green=Link at 10G; Right side LED: Blink=ACT, Off=No Link, Yellow=Link at 1G).

5. Fametrahana

5.1 Fametrahana fitoeran-javatra (tsy voatery)

If you intend to install the switch in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, use the provided rack-mount kit. Secure the mounting brackets to the sides of the switch using the screws provided. Then, attach the switch to the rack using appropriate rack screws.

5.2 Fametrahana eo amin'ny birao

For desktop use, ensure the switch is placed on a flat, stable surface. Allow adequate ventilation around the device to prevent overheating.

5.3 Fampifandraisana herinaratra

1. Connect one end of the provided power cord to the AC power inlet on the rear panel of the switch.
2. Ampifandraiso amin'ny fivoahana elektrika miorim-paka ny tendrony hafa amin'ny tadin-jiro.
3. Verify that the Power LED on the front panel illuminates, indicating the switch is receiving power.

5.4 Fifandraisana amin'ny tambajotra

1. Connect your network devices (servers, workstations, other switches) to the RJ45 ports (1-10) using appropriate Ethernet cables (Cat6a or higher for 10G speeds).
2. For fiber optic connections, insert compatible SFP+ transceivers into the combo SFP+ ports (11F, 12F) and connect fiber optic cables.
3. Observe the Link/Act LEDs for each connected port. A solid green or yellow light indicates a successful link, and blinking indicates activity.

6. Torolàlana miasa

6.1 Fampandehanana fototra

The NETGEAR ProSAFE XS712T is a plug-and-play device for basic connectivity. Once powered on and connected, it will automatically detect and configure connected devices for optimal performance.

6.2 Web- Fitantanana mifototra

For advanced configuration and management, access the switch's web- interface tsara:

1. Ensure your computer is connected to the switch.
2. Sokafy a web browser and enter the default IP address of the switch (refer to the Quick Start Guide or NETGEAR support for the specific default IP).
3. Log in using the default username and password (typically "admin" and "password" or similar, check documentation).
4. Avy amin'ny web interface, you can configure VLANs, QoS settings, security features, and monitor network status.

7. Fikojakojana

• Fanavaozana ny mikirao praogramanao: Regularly check the NETGEAR support website for the latest firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Fanadiovana: Tazomy ho madio sy tsy misy vovoka ny switch. Ampiasao lamba malefaka sy maina ho an'ny fanadiovana. Aza mampiasa ranoka na ranoka mpanadio.
• rivotra: Ataovy azo antoka fa tsy voasakana ny fisokafan'ny rivotra mba hisorohana ny hafanana be loatra.
• Fitantanana tariby: Organize network cables to prevent strain on ports and improve airflow.

8. Famahana olana

• Tsy misy hery: If the Power LED is off, ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and the electrical outlet. Try a different outlet or power cord.
• Tsy misy rohy amin'ny seranana: Jereo ny fifandraisana tariby Ethernet amin'ny tendrony roa. Manandrama tariby na seranan-tsambo hafa. Ataovy azo antoka fa mandeha sy miasa tsara ny fitaovana mifandray.
• Hafainganam-pifandraisana miadana: Verify that you are using appropriate cables (Cat6a or higher for 10G). Check for network congestion or misconfigurations in the switch's settings (e.g., QoS).
• Tsy afaka miditra Web Interface: Ensure your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch's IP address. Verify the switch's IP address and login credentials. Try resetting the switch to factory defaults if necessary (this will erase all custom configurations).
• Feon'ny mpankafy: The switch may generate fan noise during operation, especially under heavy load or in warmer environments. This is normal. Ensure proper ventilation.
