AT-8500 Series Layer 2+ Fast Ethernet Switches Installation Guide

example, you cannot connect a fiber optic port with a maximum distance of 40 kilometers (24.8 miles) and an operating wavelength of 1550 nm to a remote fiber optic port with an maximum distance of only 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) and a wavelength of 1310 nm.

ˆCheck to be sure that the fiber optic ports on the switch and on the end node are operating at the same speed and duplex mode.

ˆAT-8550GB and AT-8550SP switches only Verify that the GBIC module or SFP module is completely inserted into the expansion slot on the front of the switch.

A 1000Base connection can take from five to ten seconds to establish a link.

PoE Device is Not Receiving Power

If you attached a powered device to a port on an AT-8524POE, the PoE LED for the port should be green. (Remember to use the Mode Select button to toggle the Mode LEDs to the PoE state.) If the device is not receiving power or the PoE LED is flashing amber, steady amber, or is OFF, do the following:

ˆCheck to be sure that the powered device is designed to receive power over pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 on the RJ-45 port. This can be verified by reviewing the device’s documentation or data sheet.

ˆCheck that the device’s power requirements do not exceed 15.4 W. This can be verified by reviewing the device’s documentation or data sheet.

ˆVerify that the twisted pair cable is Category 5 or 5E.

ˆVerify that the twisted pair cable is not faulty.

ˆUse the AT-S62 management software to determine whether PoE is enabled on the switch and the port. The default setting for PoE is enabled.

ˆUse the management software to determine whether the PoE power setting for the port has been reduced from the default setting of 15.4 W, to a value below the power requirements of the device.

ˆPoE is not supported on expansion modules.

ˆVerify that the power budget on the switch is not being exceeded by the powered devices. This should not be a problem for the AT-8524POE switch, which can support powered devices on all ports 1 to 24, even when all devices require the maximum of 15.4 W.
