If yes, check that:
The air vents are not obstructed.
■
The ambient temperatures and environmental conditions meet those
■
specified in Appendix
4 Power cycle the unit. If a further thermal shutdown occurs, and all
environmental conditions are satisfactory, return the unit to 3Com.
A device is connected to a Switch 4400 PWR but power is not
being supplied
If power is not being supplied to a device connected to a
Switch 4400 PWR, you should do the following checks:
Check that the device is compliant with the 802.3af standard ref. [18].
■
The 4400 PWR will only supply power through the front panel ports to
802.3af compliant devices.
Check that the power budget for the Switch has not been exceeded.
■
If the power budget has been exceeded, then by default, the powered
device connected to the Power over Ethernet port with the lowest
priority port will lose power. However, if all the devices connected to
the Switch have equal priority levels, then the port with the highest
number will lose power.
By default the Switch will allow a device to receive power as long as
the Power over Ethernet power supply has 18 watts spare in its power
budget. If this much power is not available the device will not be
powered (unless it has a higher priority than existing powered ports)
and a Power over Ethernet fault will be reported for that port. If
enough power subsequently becomes available the port will be
powered.
Check that the port has not had a power limit imposed upon it.
■
If you experience communication problems with the Switch, ensure that:
The Switch IP address and Management VLAN ID has been configured
■
as described in
If the Switch is separated from your management application by a
■
router, ensure that the default gateway IP address within the Switch is
the same as the IP address of the router.
