4. Configuración
The DGS-105GL is a plug-and-play device, making installation straightforward. Follow these steps to set up your switch:
- Conecte el adaptador de corriente: Plug the included power adapter into the power input port on the rear panel of the DGS-105GL switch. Then, plug the other end of the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.
- Conectar dispositivos de red: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, network-attached storage, routers) to any of the five RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the front panel using standard Ethernet cables.
- Verificar conexiones: Once a device is connected and powered on, the corresponding Port LED on the switch's front panel should light up, indicating a successful link. If there is network activity, the LED will blink.

6. Mantenimiento
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your DGS-105GL switch, consider the following maintenance guidelines:
- Limpieza: Periodically clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid or aerosol cleaners directly on the device.
- Condiciones ambientales: Ensure the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture. Maintain operating temperatures within the specified range (refer to specifications).
- Sistema de organización de cables: Keep network cables neatly organized to prevent strain on ports and improve airflow around the device.
- Ciclo de potencia: If you experience network issues, a simple power cycle (unplugging the power adapter, waiting 10 seconds, and plugging it back in) can often resolve minor problems.
7. Solución de problemas
If you encounter issues with your DGS-105GL switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Sin LED de encendido:
- Asegúrese de que el adaptador de corriente esté conectado de forma segura tanto al interruptor como a una toma de corriente eléctrica que funcione.
- Verifique que el tomacorriente eléctrico funcione enchufando otro dispositivo.
- No Link LED for a Connected Device:
- Compruebe que el cable Ethernet esté conectado de forma segura tanto al puerto del conmutador como al dispositivo de red.
- Asegúrese de que el dispositivo de red conectado esté encendido y funcionando correctamente.
- Pruebe con un cable Ethernet diferente para descartar que el cable esté defectuoso.
- Intente conectar el dispositivo a un puerto diferente en el conmutador.
- Velocidad de red lenta:
- Asegúrese de que todos los dispositivos y cables conectados admitan Gigabit Ethernet (Cat5e o superior).
- Compruebe si hay tráfico de red excesivo o aplicaciones que consumen mucho ancho de banda ejecutándose en los dispositivos conectados.
- Perform a power cycle on the switch and connected devices.
