Troubleshooting

This chapter contains information on how to troubleshoot the switch if a
problem occurs.

Note

For further assistance, please contact Allied Telesis Technical
Support at www.alliedtelesis.com/support.

Problem 1:

The POWER LED on the front of the switch is off.

Solutions:

The unit is not receiving power. Try the following:

Verify that the power cord is securely connected to the power
source and to the AC connector on the back panel of the switch.

Verify that the power outlet has power by connecting another
device to it.

Try connecting the unit to another power source.

Try a different power cord.

Verify that the voltage from the power source is within the required
levels for your region.

Problem 2:

All of the port LEDs are off even though the ports are

connected to active network devices.

Solution:

The switch is probably operating in low power mode. To toggle

on the LEDs, press the ecofriendly button on the front panel for 1 to 4
seconds.

Problem 3:

A twisted pair port on the switch is connected to a network

device but the port’s Link/Activity/Speed LED is off.

Solutions:

The port is unable to establish a link to a network device. Try

the following:

Verify that the network device connected to the twisted pair port is
powered on and is operating properly.

Verify that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port
on the media converter channel and to the port on the remote
network device.

Verify that the port is connected to the correct twisted pair cable.
This is to eliminate the possibility that the port is connected to the
wrong network device, such as a powered off device.
