    Troubleshooting AP-8000 User Guide Troubleshooting Common Issues Listed below are the common issues encountered while using the AP device: • IP Addressing - The most common installation problems relate to IP addressing. For example, without the TFTP server IP Address, you will not be able to download a new AP Image to the AP. Since IP Address management is fundamental, we suggest you to create a chart to document and validate the IP addresses for your system.

However, if you are having problems with the Ethernet link, manually configure the Access Point’s Ethernet settings. For example, if your switch operates at 100 Mbits/sec/Full Duplex, manually configure the Access Point to use these settings.
