uplink to an existing hub or switch by connecting a
network cable from any port on this switching hub.
FS5016 –Connect a network cable from this switches
Uplink port to any standard (non-uplink) port on another
hub, switch or router.

Troubleshooting Tips
In the unlikely event your network is not operating properly,
follow the troubleshooting tips below.
■Check your power connection. Is the green Power LED on? If not,
plug the power module into a different AC outlet.
■Check your network cable. Is the green network Link LED on? If
not, try connecting a“known good”Ethernet network cable
between your hub and the adapter.You should see a Link LED on
your hub and your network adapter.
■The maximum distance from any node (computer, printer,hub,
switch, etc.) is 328 feet or 100 meters. Be sure your Category 5 UTP
cable is not coiled, twisted or damaged.When connecting the hub
to a computer,be sure your cable is wired for straight-through;
pins 1, 2,3 and 6 should be matched pin-for-pin on both ends.
Note that pins 3 and 6 must use the same twisted pair; these are
typically orange/white orange or green/white green.
■Check your computer’s software.Check your operating system
manual for instructions on configuring your network for file and
print sharing.
