NOTES
•Use only Category 5 Ethernet cables to ensure proper connections
between the switch and other network devices.
•You may use the ports on the switch to uplink to another switch,
hub, bridge, or repeater as an uplink port using either crossover or
straight-through cables.
The MDI/MDIX feature of the switch allows automatic detection of
the type of cables connected to it, and adjustment to the
appropriate MDI or MDIX setting for each cable.

Virtual Cable Tester (VCT)
The VCT feature significantly reduces networking and support costs by
virtually diagnosing and reporting cable faults using the Time Domain
Reflectometry (TDR) technology. With VCT, you can identify open and
shorted cables with up to 10 meters of accuracy.
Using the VCT feature
To do a cable test using VCT:
1. Press the VCT button once.
The switch goes into VCT mode and the system LED turns amber. All
port LEDs are off, except the PORT SELECT (STATUS) LED.
2. Press the SEL button to select the port you wish to test. The PORT
SELECT (STATUS) LED of the selected port lights up.
3. Press the VCT button again to execute VCT on the selected port. The
PORT SELECT (STATUS) LED of the selected port blinks in green to
indicate that VCT is in progress.
The test is complete when the PORT SELECT (STATUS) LED stops
blinking. Refer to page 9 for examples of VCT test results.
4. Press SEL to select another port to test. Follow steps 2 to 5 to run VCT.
5. When done, press the VCT button to return to normal switch operation.
NOTE. If no other action is taken after the VCT or SEL button is
pressed, the switch automatically goes back to normal operation after
15 seconds.
NOTE. The switch automatically goes back to normal operation after
two minutes even if you do not press the VCT button.

Troubleshooting
Problem Action
The POWER LED does not
light up. Check if the power cable is properly
connected to the switch, and to an
electrical outlet with the correct
voltage output. See the power
specifications on page 3.
•Check if the Ethernet cable is
properly connected to the switch
and to the network device.
•Make sure that the switch and
your network device are turned
on.
•Check if the Ethernet cable is
sufficient for your network speed.
Make sure you are using at least
Category 5 cables for 100/1000
Mbps. If the network speed is 10
Mbps, you may use Category 3
cables.
The STATUS/SPEED LED
does not light up even after
an Ethernet cable is
connected.
This troubleshooting guide provides answers to some common problems
that you may encounter while installing and/or using the switch. These
problems require some simple troubleshooting that you can perform by
yourself. Contact ASUS Technical Support if you encounter problems that
are not mentioned in this section.
