1. Introduction and Hardware Description 1 The NETGEAR® ProSAFE® 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 is a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution. To simplify installation, the switch is shipped ready for use out of the box.
ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 Overview This hardware installation guide is for the NETGEAR ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2. The switch provides twenty-four 10/100BASE-T ports and two 10/100/1000BASE-T ports. You can make high-speed connections using the two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 Figure 1. Example of a network configuration Switch Features The following list identifies the key features of the switch: • Twenty-four RJ-45 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet switching ports. • Two RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switch ports. • The switch provides full compatibility with IEEE standards: - IEEE 802.3i (10BASE-T) - IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX) - IEEE 802.3x (full duplex-flow control) - IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) - IEEE 802.
ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 • Active flow control to minimize packet loss and frame drops. • Half-duplex back-pressure control. • Per-port LEDs and system LEDs. • Internal power supply. • Standard 1U high, rack-mountable 13-inch chassis. • No fans required.

ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 If any of the parts are incorrect, missing, or damaged, contact your NETGEAR dealer. Keep the carton, including the original packing materials, in case you need to return the product for repair. Front Panel The switch provides twenty-four 10/100BASE-T ports and two Gigabit Ethernet ports. 1 3 2 5 4 6 Figure 3. Front panel The front panel contains the following: 1. Power LED 2.
ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 LEDs The following table describes the LEDs. Table 1. LED descriptions Port LED Designation (Not applicable, system LED) Power • • Off. Power is disconnected. Solid green. Power is supplied to the switch and the switch is operating normally. • • Off. No link is established on the port. Solid green. A valid link (at any speed) is established on the port. Blinking green. Packet transmission or reception occurs on the port.
ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 RJ-45 Ports RJ-45 ports are autosensing and autonegotiating ports. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a twisted-pair cable that is terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug. To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto MDI/MIDX.

ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 Step 1: Prepare the Site Before you install the switch, ensure that the operating environment meets the requirements in that are described the following table. Table 2. Site requirements Characteristics Requirements Mounting • • Access Place the switch in a position that allows access to the RJ-45 ports on the front panel, that allows you to see the LEDs on the front panel, and that allows you easy and safe access to the power connector.
ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 Install the Switch in a Rack To install the switch in a rack, you need the 19-inch rack-mount kit that is supplied with switch. Note: To prevent the rack from overbalancing and toppling over, install devices from the bottom of the rack to the top. To install the switch in a rack: 1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch. 2.
ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 Step 3: Check the Installation Before you apply power to the switch, do the following: • Inspect the equipment thoroughly. • Verify that all cables are installed correctly. • Check cable routing to make sure that cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard. • Ensure that all equipment is mounted properly and securely.
ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 Step 5: Apply AC Power The switch does not have an On/Off switch. You apply AC power to the switch by connecting the power cord, and you remove AC power from the switch by disconnecting the power cord. Before you connect the power cord, select a grounded 3-pronged AC source that is not controlled by a wall switch, which could turn off power to the switch. To apply AC power to the switch: 1.
3. 3 Troubleshooting This chapter describes how you can troubleshoot the switch.
ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 Troubleshooting Chart The following table lists symptoms, causes, and solutions of possible problems. Table 3. Troubleshooting chart Symptom Cause Solution Power LED is off. No power is received. • • Link/ACT LED is off or intermittent. Port connection is not working. • • • Check the power cord connections for the switch at the switch and the connected device.
ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2 Configuration If problems occur after you alter the network configuration, restore the original connections and determine the problem by implementing the new changes, one step at a time. Ensure that cable distances, repeater limits, and other physical aspects of the installation do not exceed the Ethernet limitations. Switch Integrity If necessary, verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch.
