5.0TROUBLESHOOTING
All Magnum Ethernet products are designed to provide reliability and consistently high performance in all network environments. The installation of Magnum 700X Mini- Concentrators is a simple procedure (see Section 3.0, INSTALLATION); operation is very simple and is described in Section 4.0, OPERATION.
Should problems develop during installation or operation, this section should help to locate, identify and correct such problems. Please follow the suggestions listed below prior to contacting your supplier. However, if you are unsure of any procedure described in this section, or if the Magnum 700X is not operating as expected, do not attempt to repair or alter the unit. Contact your supplier (or if unknown, contact Garrett Communications) for assistance.
5.1Before Calling for Assistance
1.If difficulty is encountered when installing or operating the Magnum 700X Mini- Concentrators, refer back to Section 3.0, Installation and Section 4.0, Operation.
Check to make sure that the various other components of the | network are operable. |
2.Check the cables and connectors to ensure that they have been properly connected and the cables/wires have not been crimped or in some way impaired during installation. (About 90% of network downtime can be attributed to wiring and connector problems.)
3.Be certain that the AC power cord is plugged into a functioning electrical outlet. Make sure that the AC power cord is properly plugged into the 700X unit. Use the PWR LEDs to verify the unit is receiving proper power.
4.If the problem is isolated to a network device other than the Magnum 700X,
it is recommended that the problem device be replaced with a known good device. Verify whether or not the problem is corrected. If not go to Step 5 below. If the problem is corrected, the Magnum 700X and its associated cables are functioning properly.
5.If the problem continues after completing Step 4 above, contact your supplier of the Magnum 700X unit (or if unknown, contact Garrett Communications) by fax or by phone for assistance.
