Troubleshooting

Q1: After connecting the TPE-224WS to a power outlet, the LEDs do not turn on.

A1: Check the connection of the power cord to the TPE-224WS and the power outlet. Also check that the power outlet is receiving power.

Q2: After installing the Web-Management Utility, I clicked Discovery and the Utility is unable to

discover the TPE-224WS. What should I do?

A2: Make sure that the TPE-224WS is powered on and that all connections are secure. Also check that your computer's IP Address is on the same network segment as the TPE-224WS. The default IP Address of the TPE-224WS is http://192.168.0.1 and the default password is "admin".

Q3: When I access the TPE-224WS using a web browser, I get a screen that tells me “only one

user can login”. What should I do?

A3: Another computer is configuring the TPE-224WS. Please wait until the user logs off. If the other user has already logged off and you still get the same screen, then disconnect the power cord from the TPE-224WS, wait for 5 seconds, reconnect the power cord to the TPE-224WS, allow 5 seconds for the switch to power on, and then attempt to access the web configuration page to login.

Q4: When I connect a computer to the switch's port, the LINK/ACT LED turns on, but the 100Mbps LED remains off.

A4: When the 100Mbps LED remains off, the computer's connection speed is 10Mbps.

Q5: I connected a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) device into the switch's PoE port, but the PoE Status LED remains off.

A5: Check the connections between the PoE port and the PoE device. Make sure that the CAT-5 cable is properly inserted into the PoE port and PoE device.

If you still encounter problems or have any questions regarding the TPE-224WS, please refer to the User's Guide included on the Utility CD-ROM or contact Trendnet's Technical Support Department.
