Check the POWER LED on the front of the switch. If the LED is off, indicating that the unit is not receiving power, do the following:
Ensure that the power cord is securely connected to the power source and to the AC connector on the back panel of the switch.
Verify that the power outlet has power by connecting another device to it.
Try connecting the unit to another power source.
Try using a different power cord.
Verify that the voltage from the power source is within the required levels for your region.
Verify that the LINK/ACT LED for each port is ON. If a LINK/ACT LED is
OFF, do the following:
Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered on and is operating properly.
Verify that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port on the switch and to the port on the end node.
Ensure that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair cable: Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps operation and Category 5 and Category 5E for 100 and 1000 Mbps operation.
Note
A 1000Base connection may require five to ten seconds to establish a link.
