Troubleshooting

This section is intended to help you solve the most common prob- lems on the MIL-S1600S switch.

Incorrect connections

Faulty or loose cables

Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are snug. If that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.

Non-standard cables

Non-standard and miswired cables may cause numerous network collisions and other network problem, and can seriously impair network performance. A category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-T network installation.

Improper Network Topologies

It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. You should make sure that your network topolo- gy contains no data path loops. Between any two-end nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance.

Diagnosing LED Indicators

The switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying problems, which describes common problems you may encounter and where you can find possible solutions.

If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with power cord. Check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.
