LED Indicators |
|
|
|
Power LED is Off | • External power supply has failed or is disconnected. |
| • Check connections between the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway, |
| the external power supply, and the wall outlet. |
| • If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is |
| plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power |
| cord, or external power supply. |
| However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for |
| loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. |
| If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the external power supply |
| may be defective. In this case, contact Accton Technical Support for |
| assistance. |
