Gigabit Ethernet Poe - Proxim ORiNOCO AP-8000 User Manual

Troubleshooting
wireless clients and viewed on one of the backbones should contain IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLAN headers or tags. The
VLAN ID in the headers should correspond to one of the VLAN User IDs configured for the AP.
VLAN Workgroups
The correct VLAN assignment can be verified by pinging the AP to ensure connectivity, by pinging the switch to ensure
VLAN properties, and by pinging hosts past the switch to confirm the switch is functional. Ultimately, traffic can be
"sniffed" on the Ethernet using third-party packages. Most problems can be avoided by ensuring that 802.1Q compliant
VLAN tags containing the proper VLAN ID have been inserted in the bridged frames. The VLAN ID in the header should
correspond to the user's assigned network name.
What if network traffic is being directed to a non-existent host?
• All sessions are disconnected, traffic is lost, and a
• Workaround: You can configure the switch to mimic the non-existent host.
I have just configured the Management ID and now I can't manage the AP?
• Check to ensure your password is correct. If your password is incorrect or all inbound packets do NOT have the
correct tag, then a

Gigabit Ethernet PoE

The AP Does Not Work
1. Verify that you are using a standard UTP Category 5/Category 6 cable.
2. Try a different port on the same Gigabit Ethernet PoE hub (remember to move the input port accordingly) – if it works,
there is probably a faulty port or bad RJ-45 port connection.
3. If possible, try to connect the AP to a different Gigabit Ethernet PoE hub.
4. Try using a different Ethernet cable – if it works, there is probably a faulty connection over the long cable, or a bad
RJ-45 connection.
5. Check power plug and hub.
6. If the Ethernet link goes down, check the cable, cable type, switch, and hub.
There Is No Data Link
1. Verify that the indicator for the port is "on."
2. Verify that the Gigabit Ethernet PoE hub is connected to the Ethernet network with a good connection.
3. Verify that the Ethernet cable is Category 5 or better, and is less than 100 meters (approximately 325 feet) in length
from the Ethernet source to the AP.
4. Try to connect to a different device to the same port on the Gigabit Ethernet PoE hub – if it works and a link is
established, there is probably a faulty data link in the AP.
5. Try to re-connect the AP to a different output port (remember to move the input port accordingly) – if it works, there is
probably a faulty output or input port in the Gigabit Ethernet PoE hub or a bad RJ-45 connection.
"Overload" Indications
1. Verify that you are not using a cross-over cable between the Gigabit Ethernet PoE output port and the AP.
2. Verify that there is no short over on any of the twisted pair cables.
3. Move the device into a different output port (remember to move the input port accordingly); if it works, there is
probably a faulty port or bad RJ-45 connection.
Forced Reload is necessary.
