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

to it.
ˆ Try connecting the unit to another power source.
ˆ Try using a different power cord.
ˆ Verify that the voltage from the power source is within the required
levels for your region.
Verify that the LINK/ACT LED for each port is ON. If a LINK/ACT LED is
OFF, do the following:
ˆ Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered on and is
operating properly.
ˆ Verify that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port on
the switch and to the port on the end node.
ˆ Verify that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328
feet).
ˆ Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair cable:
Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps operation and Category 5 and
Category 5E for 100 and 1000 Mbps operation.
