Verifying Installation - NETGEAR SW502 Installation Manual

Installation Guide for the Model SW502 and Model SW507 Ethernet Switches
3. Move the Half/Full duplex switches to the left to set each port on the switch for half-duplex
operation, or move the switches to the right for full-duplex operation.
The Model SW502 switch contains one 10 Mbps Ethernet port with BNC, AUI, or UTP interface,
and one UTP port for either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connection that is detected by auto-sensing.
The 10 Mbps ports on the Model SW502 switch support full duplex if the network is connected to
the UTP port. If the network is connected to the AUI or BNC interface, half duplex is supported.
The 10/100 Mbps port supports full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
All of the ports on the Model SW507 switch support half or full-duplex that is controlled through
a push button on the front panel.
A hub or repeater uses a common collision domain for all communications and cannot support full
duplex. When connecting any of the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet ports on the switch to a hub, set the
port to half-duplex operation. When connecting to a workstation, a server, or a switch, the
Half/Full Duplex setting for the port must be the same as the duplex setting on the connecting
device.
4. Connect the appropriate end of the power cable to the power supply receptacle on the back
panel of the switch.
5. Connect the other end of the power cable to a wall receptacle.
The switch automatically selects the proper voltage in the range of 100 to 240 volts. The Power
LED lights and the cooling fans start up after successfully completing the self-tests. The switch is
now operational.

Verifying Installation

Verify network communications by ensuring that all the necessary connections have been made, that
all connected resources can be accessed, and that the LED indicators on the switch are functioning
properly. For additional information, refer to Chapter 4, "Troubleshooting."
