Try connecting another network device to the twisted pair port with
a different cable. If the twisted pair port is able to establish a link,
then the problem is with the cable or the other network device.
Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair
cable. Refer to “Cable Requirements” on page 22.
Verify that the port is connected to the correct twisted pair cable.
Note
Twisted pair ports may require five to ten seconds to establish a link.
Problem 4:
The LINK/ACT LED is off for an SFP transceiver that is
connected to an active network device.
Solutions:
The fiber optic port on the transceiver is unable to establish a
link to a network device. Try the following:
Verify that the remote network device is operating properly.
Verify that the fiber optic cable is securely connected to the port on
the transceiver and to the port on the remote network device.
Check that the transceiver is fully inserted in the slot.
Verify that the operating specifications of the fiber optic ports on
the transceiver and remote network device are compatible.
Verify that the correct type of fiber optic cabling is being used.
Verify that the port is connected to the correct fiber optic cable.
Try connecting another network device to the fiber optic port using
a different cable. If the port is able to establish a link, then the
problem is with the cable or with the other network device.
Use the management software to verify that the port is enabled.
If the remote network device is a managed device, use its
management firmware to determine whether its port is enabled.
If two BiDi (bi-directional) transceivers cannot establish a link, refer
to their data sheets to verify that their transmission and reception
frequencies are opposite to each other. For instance, a BiDi
transceiver that transmits and receives at 1310nm and 1550nm,
respectively, has to be connected to a transceiver that transmits
and receives at 1550nm and 1310nm, respectively. Two BiDi
transceivers cannot establish a link if they transmit and receive at
the same frequencies.
Test the attenuation of both directions on the fiber optic cable with
a fiber optic tester to determine whether the optical signal is too
weak (sensitivity) or too strong (maximum input power).
Problem 5:
The AT-GS980M/52PS Switch is not providing power to any
powered devices or to only a few devices whose power requirements are
