Troubleshooting

This section is intended to help you solve some common problems encountered while using the MIL-SM808G switch series.

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 different cables.

￿Non-standard cables

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

￿Improper Network Topologies

It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive cable length and too many repeaters or hubs between end nodes. In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two ends 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.
