Troubleshooting

This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the MIL-S2400 and MIL- S1600 Switches.

nFaulty or loose cables

Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are snug. IF that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.

nNon-standard cables

Non-standard and miswired cables may cause numerous network collisions and other network problem, and can seriously impair network performance. A category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-TX network installation.

nImproper Network Topologies

It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. You should make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two ends nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance.

Diagnosing LED Indicators

The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying problems, which describes common problems you may encounter and where you can find possible solutions.

If the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with power outlet, or power cord. However, if the Switch powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.

nCabling

A.RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair ( STP ) cable for RJ- 45 connections: 100O Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or 100O Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters ( 328 feet ).

B.100Base-FX fiber port: Fiber multi-mode connector type must use 50,62.5/125 um multi- mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices over a 2-kilometer distance. However, Fiber single-mode connector type must use 9/125 um single- mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices over a 60- kilometer distance in full duplex operation.
