Troubleshooting

• No Power:
  • Check power cable connections to the switch and power source.
  • Verify the power source is active and providing the correct voltage.
  • Check PWR1/PWR2 LEDs for status.
• No Link on Port:
  • Ensure the Ethernet or fiber cable is securely connected at both ends.
  • Verify the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Check the port's link/activity LED.
  • Try a different cable or port.
• Cannot Access Web Interface:
  • Verify your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch's default IP.
  • Check network cable connection.
  • Ensure no firewall is blocking access.
  • Try resetting the switch to factory defaults (refer to full manual for procedure).
• FAULT LED is On:
  • Consult the full user manual for specific fault codes or conditions.
