Solving Corrupted Firmware; If The Problem Persists - 3Com Baseline 2226-PWR Plus User Manual

HAPTER ROUBLESHOOTING
By default, the Switch will allow a device to receive
power as long as the PoE 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 the ports that are currently
powered) and a Power over Ethernet fault will be
reported for that port. If enough power subsequently
becomes available, the port will be powered.
Verify that the port has not had a power limit
■
imposed upon it.
A PoE device is plugged in, but the PoE LED is
off.
If a device is not supplied with power after you have
connected it to the Switch 2226-PWR Plus, check the
following:
The power budget for the Switch (156 watts) has
■
not been exceeded.
The cable used to connect to the device is in good
■
shape and is a Cat 5 or above grade.
The device is Power over Ethernet compliant and is
■
configured to receive Power over Ethernet. See the
documentation supplied with your device.
You are using ports 1 to 24.

Solving Corrupted Firmware

If the firmware becomes corrupted, you must either:
Upgrade the firmware for the Switch
■
Reset the Switch to factory defaults
■
When the firmware is corrupted, the Switch automat-
ically goes into Fail-Safe mode.
To upgrade a corrupted firmware:
Download the latest firmware from the 3Com Web
1
site to the computer that you are using to access the
Web interface.
Access the Web interface. The Fail-Safe Mode screen
2
appears, as shown in
Click Browse, and then follow the onscreen instruc-
3
tions to upgrade the Switch to the required version of
firmware.
To reset the Switch to its factory defaults, follow the
instructions in "Resetting to Factory Defaults"
page 51.
CAUTION: Before recovering the Switch, save the
Switch's current configuration. Recovering the Switch
will cause the current configuration to be lost.
