Troubleshooting

1.Make sure the (Power LED) is ON.

2.Make sure you are supplying sufficient current. Note: The Inrush current will exceed the steady state current by ~ 2X.

3.Verify that Link LED’s are ON for connected ports.

4.Verify cabling used between stations.

5.Verify the phone socket that the phone line from the 102RAS is plugged into is operational.

6.Verify that cabling is Category 5E or greater for 100Mbit Operation.
