Troubleshooting

This section describes how to troubleshoot connection issues with the
W110. For configuration issues, see the W310 Installation and
Configuration User Guide.
Connectivity - No LED Activity on the W110
1. Check to see if the PoE LED for the port on the W310 is either
solid or flashing green. If it is not lit, check to see if the port is set
to deliver Power over Ethernet. Use the W310 CLI command
show powerinline to see if the port is set to receive power.
— If the port is receiving power, the Inline Operational Status
for the port will display as "Delivering Power".
— If power is not enabled, then try the CLI command set
port powerinline 1/<port_number> enable to
enable power for the port. (where 1 is the module number,
<port_number> is the W310 port, and enable/disable is to
enable/disable power for the port.
— If it is set correctly, try a different port on the W310 – if it
works, there is probably a faulty port or bad RJ-45 port
connection.
2. Double check to see if all cables are connected to the W110
correctly.
Keyholes
3. Make sure you are using a standard Category 5 cable to power
the W110. The cable should have a length less than the
Ethernet standard of 100 meters (325 feet) from the Ethernet
port on the W310 to the W110 LAN port.
4. Try using a different Ethernet cable – if it works, there may be a
faulty connection on the cable.
5. Try to connect a different W110 to the same port on the W310 –
FRONT
if it works and a link is established, there is probably a faulty
data link in the W110.

Make sure you have configured the W110 with the proper Network
Name (SSID) and Security settings. This is done through the W310
using the W310 Device Manager or W310 CLI.
Range Antenna Installation
The Dual Band REA is a dual band indoor antenna that works with both
2.4 GHz (802.11b/g) and 5 GHz (802.11a) radios. You can optionally
install up to two Dual Band Range Extender Antennas on the W110.
