Troubleshooting the NJ240FX

If you encounter problems with the IntelliJack:

■Verify the IntelliJack is receiving power by viewing the Power LED (it should be on). If the Power LED is not on, make sure that:

■The local power supply is plugged into the IntelliJack and into a working electrical outlet.

■Verify the IntelliJack is connected to the network properly by viewing the Link LED (it should be on). If the Link LED is not on, make sure the network cable:

■Is terminated properly. Refer to the connector manufacturer’s instructions for terminating the cable. Be sure to test the connector and verify it is working.

■Has a valid connection to the network.

■Adheres to proper length and cabling specifications for your network.

■The IntelliJack is configured for manual MDI. Be sure to use a straight-through cable. If you want to use a cross-connect cable, you must change settings in the Configuration Manager software.
