AirLive DS-100 User’s Manual

This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the DS-100.

5.1 Diagnosing LED Indicators

The DS-100 can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying

problems, which describes common problems you may encounter and where you can find

possible solutions. Please refer to Chapter 2.7 for detailed information.

If the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a

problem with power outlet, or power cord. However, if the Switch powers off after running

for a while check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. If

you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.

5.1.1

Cabling

RJ-45 ports use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45

connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or 100Ω Category 5

cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection

does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Gigabit port should use Cat-5 or cat-5e cable for

1000Mbps connections. The length does not exceed 100 meters.

RS-232 Serial port: a common type of electrical connector used particularly in computers.

They are among the largest common connectors used with computers. The one side of

cable connecting to DS-100 should be DB-9 Female plug, the other side depends on POS

printer’s specification.
