Port statuses to configure Setting VLAN A VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a group of switch ports designated by the switch as belonging to the same broadcast domain. This feature allows workgroups to be defined on the basis of their logical location instead of their physical location. VLANs also help isolate broadcast traffic and increase security. 14

Smart-Switch/801 Grouping the switch ports into broadcast domains and assigning them to the same VLAN increases performance and network capacity. Moreover, VLAN groups can be modified at any time to add, remove, or change users without any re-cabling. From the Main Menu, choose the second item “ Setting VLAN “ by typing “ 2 “. Follow the VLAN Setup Menu. The switch can support up to nine VLAN groups. Figure 4-6. VLAN Setup Menu First, type in the port number and the prompt displays “Enter VLAN I

Smart-Switch/801 Troubleshooting This section helps solve the most common problems on the Smart- Switch/801. Incorrect connections Faulty or Loose Cables Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are snug. If that does not correct the problem, try a different cable. Non-standard cables Non-standard and miswired cables may cause numerous network collisions and other network problem and can seriously impair network perf

Smart-Switch/801 LED Diagnostic Indicators The Switch status can be easily monitored through panel indicators. If the power indicator does not light when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with AC power outlet or power cord. However, if the Switch powers off once running, Check for loose power connections, power losses, or surges at the AC power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance. Improper Network Topolog
