Troubleshooting

This troubleshooting section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the DES-5016.

The Diagnostic LED displays a code if there is a problem on the DES-5016. If an error cannot be resolved by implementing the solutions in this section, contact D-Link Technical Support.

All LEDs are explained in detail in Chapter 4, LEDs. If you are having a problem that is not discussed here, contact technical support.

Problem

Solution

POST Errors

The DES-5016 performs a Power On Self Test (POST) every time

 

it is powered on. If you are connected to the DES-5016 through

 

Local Console Management during the POST you can see the

 

results displayed on your monitor. The login screen appears after

 

the DES-5016 has completed the POST.

 

The POST checks all of the hardware components on the DES-

 

5016. See Table 9: Diagnostic LED for proper actions.

Cables

Faulty cable is the most common source of problems on Ethernet

 

and Fast Ethernet networks. Check the cable first if you are having

 

any problems connecting to a device.

 

Ethernet is more fault tolerant than Fast Ethernet. If you are

 

moving from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet, make sure the cables are

 

pinned out correctly. See Chapter 3, Connecting the DES-5016 to

 

the Network, Cable Specifications, for a diagram showing the

 

proper pin arrangement for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.

Port States

All ports on the DES-5016 have two modes: auto negotiation mode

 

and forced mode. Ports in auto negotiation mode auto negotiate the

 

proper speed and duplex mode. Ports in forced mode have been

 

manually set to a particular speed and duplex mode. Check the

 

LEDs on the DES-5016 and on the link partner to verify settings.

 

See Chapter 4, LEDs, for an explanation of all LEDs.

 

The port settings on the DES-5016 and the port settings on the

 

device you are connecting to must be the same in order for them to

 

communicate. Check the speed and duplex setting on both the port

 

and device you are connecting to.

Power LED is Off Check the three pronged power plug and verify that you are getting power from the wall socket. If the DES-5016 is on and the power
