  • BULELA: Loop detection is active. If a loop is detected, the corresponding port will be automatically shut down to prevent network broadcast storms, and the LOOP DETECT LED will illuminate.
  • TIMA: Loop detection is disabled.

It is recommended to keep the loop detection function ON for network stability.

  • Letšoao: LED ea MATLA e timme.
  • Tharollo: Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the device and the power outlet. Ensure the power outlet is functional.

7.2 No Link or Slow Speed on a Port

  • Letšoao: The LINK/ACT LED for a connected port is off, or the 1000/100/10M LED indicates a lower speed than expected (e.g., 100M instead of 1000M).
  • Tharollo:
    • Netefatsa hore thapo ea Ethernet e hokahane ka mokhoa o sireletsehileng lipheletsong ka bobeli.
    • Try a different Ethernet cable. Ensure it is a Category 5e or higher cable for Gigabit speeds.
    • Hokela sesebelisoa boema-kepeng bo fapaneng ho switjha.
    • Check the network adapter settings on the connected device (computer, server) to ensure it is configured for auto-negotiation or the correct speed.

7.3 Network Instability / LOOP DETECT LED is On

  • Letšoao: The LOOP DETECT LED is illuminated, and network performance is degraded or unstable.
  • Tharollo:
    • A network loop has been detected. This typically occurs when two ports on the same switch (or different switches) are connected to each other, creating an infinite data path.
    • Carefully inspect your network cabling to identify and remove any redundant connections that form a loop.
    • If the loop detection switch is ON, the affected port will be automatically shut down. Once the loop is resolved, the port should resume normal operation.
