Power Issues
If one or more attached devices suffer from low or no network connectivity after installation,
follow these steps to identify the issue:
If the switch is not working correctly, and the power LED is not illuminated solid or is not
illuminated at all, then try these steps to identify the issue:
1. Reset the switch and router, and then the device(s) with issues. If the problem persists,
continue to step 2.
2. Are there one or multiple devices with issues?
A. If one device is having an issue:
i. Change the port the device is connected to on the switch. If the issue remains,
there is a problem with the cabling or the attached device’s network settings.
ii. Change the network connection type to DHCP and reset the connection. If
an IP address is assigned to the device, then it should be working properly. If
nothing changes, the cabling must be changed or repaired.
iii. Using a tested patch cable that is known to work correctly, swap out the cable
from the switch to the network device and test again.
B. If multiple devices are having an issue:
i. Check the Power LED indicator on the switch to make sure it is receiving
power. If it is not illuminated solid, see the next troubleshooting section, Power
Issues, to determine source of the issue.
ii. Check the connection from the switch to its host device. The switch may have
lost network access from the device feeding it. If the device feeding signal is
okay then the cable may be damaged.
iii. Using a tested patch cable that is known to work correctly, swap out the cable
from the switch to the network connection and test again.
1. Power cycle the switch. If the LED does not illuminate and remain solid, continue to the
next step. Otherwise, test devices for connectivity and confirm the system is operating
correctly. Make sure that ventilation is adequate. Overheating can cause the unit to
shut down for self-protection.
2. Change out the power cord or supply with another of the same type, and test again.
The power supply or cable may be damaged or defective.
