1. Introduktion
The TP-LINK Festa FS308G is an 8-Port Gigabit Smart/Unmanaged Desktop Switch designed to expand your network capacity with high-speed connectivity. Featuring 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this switch provides a simple, cost-effective, high-performance, non-disruptive, and standard-compliant upgrade to an old network to a 1000Mbps network. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) on all 8 ports, simplifying the deployment of PoE-powered devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.

4. Opsætning og installation
4.1 Sikkerhedsforanstaltninger
- Sørg for, at strømforsyningen voltage opfylder switchens krav.
- Bloker ikke ventilationsåbninger.
- Undgå at placere kontakten i direkte sollys, i nærheden af varmekilder eller i ekstremt fugtige omgivelser.
- Brug kun den medfølgende strømadapter.
4.2 Fysisk placering
The switch can be placed on a desktop, mounted on a wall, or installed in a rack, depending on your needs and the included accessories.
Desktopplacering:
Place the switch on a flat, stable surface. Attach the included rubber feet to the bottom of the switch to prevent slipping and provide stability.
Vægmontering:
If wall mounting, use the provided mounting kit. Ensure the wall can support the weight of the switch and connected cables. Mark two points on the wall, drill holes, insert anchors, and secure the mounting screws, leaving a small gap for the switch's mounting slots.
4.3 Tilslutning af kontakten
- Tilslut netværksenheder: Connect your network devices (computers, servers, IP cameras, Wi-Fi APs, VoIP phones, etc.) to any of the 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports using standard Ethernet cables. For PoE-powered devices, ensure they are PoE-compatible.
- Tilslut til strøm: Connect the provided power adapter to the switch's power input port on the rear panel, then plug the power adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Bekræft strøm: Once powered on, the Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.

5. Betjening af kontakten
The TP-LINK Festa FS308G is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates plug-and-play without requiring complex configuration. Once connected, it automatically detects network speeds and provides power to connected PoE devices.
5.1 LED Status Interpretation
- Power LED:
- På: Afbryderen er tændt.
- Slukket: Kontakten er slukket.
- PoE MAX LED:
- På: The total PoE power consumption is at or near the maximum budget.
- Blinker: The total PoE power consumption has exceeded the maximum budget, and some PoE ports may be shut down.
- Slukket: PoE power consumption is within normal limits.
- PoE Status LEDs (per port):
- På: The port is supplying PoE power to a connected device.
- Slukket: The port is not supplying PoE power.
- Speed/Link/Act LEDs (per port):
- Grøn (fast): A Gigabit (1000Mbps) link is established.
- Grøn (blinker): Data is being transmitted or received at Gigabit speed.
- Amber (Solid): A 10/100Mbps link is established.
- Amber (Flashing): Data is being transmitted or received at 10/100Mbps speed.
- Slukket: Der er ingen enhed tilsluttet porten, eller den tilsluttede enhed er slukket.
6. Vedligeholdelse
6.1 Rengøring
- Afbryd altid strømmen før rengøring.
- Brug en blød, tør klud til at tørre ydersiden af kontakten af.
- Brug ikke flydende eller aerosolrengøringsmidler.
6.2 Miljøhensyn
- Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation omkring kontakten for at forhindre overophedning.
- Operate the switch within the specified temperature and humidity ranges (refer to Specifications section).
6.3 Nulstilling af kontakten
If the switch is not functioning correctly, you can perform a factory reset. With the switch powered on, use a paperclip or similar pointed object to press and hold the Reset button on the front panel for approximately 5-10 seconds until the LEDs flash. The switch will then reboot with factory default settings.
7. Fejlfinding
7.1 Ingen strøm
- Sørg for, at netledningen er korrekt tilsluttet til afbryderen og stikkontakten.
- Kontroller, at stikkontakten fungerer.
- Kontroller, om strømadapteren fungerer korrekt.
7.2 Ingen forbindelse/aktivitet på en port
- Kontrollér Ethernet-kablets forbindelse i begge ender. Prøv et andet kabel.
- Sørg for, at den tilsluttede enhed er tændt og fungerer korrekt.
- Verify that the network adapter of the connected device is enabled.
- Prøv at tilslutte enheden til en anden port på switchen.
7.3 Langsom netværkshastighed
- Sørg for, at alle tilsluttede enheder og kabler understøtter Gigabit Ethernet for optimal ydeevne.
- Kontrollér for overdreven netværkstrafik eller båndbreddeintensive applikationer.
- Verify that the Speed/Link/Act LED for the port indicates a Gigabit connection (Green).
7.4 PoE-enhed modtager ikke strøm
- Ensure the connected device is a PoE-compatible device (PD).
- Check the PoE Status LED for the port; it should be On.
- Verify that the total PoE power consumption is not exceeding the switch's budget (check PoE MAX LED). If it's flashing, disconnect some PoE devices or use a higher-power PoE switch.
- Prøv et andet Ethernet-kabel.
