Network Adapter Cards

Make sure the network adapter cards installed in the PCs are in working condition

and the software driver has been installed.

Configuration

If problems occur after altering the network configuration, restore the original con-

nections and determine the problem by implementing the new changes,one procedure

at a time.Make sure that cable distances,repeater limits,and other physical aspects

of the installation do not exceed the Ethernet limitations.

Switch Integrity

If required,verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch.Turn power to the

switch off and then back on.If the problem continues and you have completed all the

preceding diagnoses,contact your NETGEAR point-of-sale representative.

Auto Negotiation

The 10/100 Mbps ports will negotiate the correct duplex mode and speed,provided

the link partner supports auto negotiation. If the link partner does not support auto

negotiation, only the speed will be determined correctly and the duplex mode will

default to half.

The Gigabit ports will negotiate speed,duplex mode and flow control,provided that

the link partner supports the auto-negotiation mechanism.
