Troubleshooting note #1:

Adaptor issues

Perform each step until the performance issue is solved.

1.Unplug the master and terminal adaptors, then plug them into the wall outlets again. The indicators on the adaptors will light if the adaptors are receiving power. If a wall outlet has a power switch, make sure it is turned on.

2.Confirm that all LAN cables are securely connected to each adaptor. Use high-quality LAN cables. Also confirm that other network devices (routers, hubs, etc.) are turned on as well as properly connected and configured.

3.Try connecting the master and/or terminal adaptor to a different wall outlet.
