If the access point works in the fat mode, you can log in to the access point remotely for maintenance. If the access point works in the fit mode, you can use a wireless controller to centrally manage and maintain the access point. Hardware Maintenance If the hardware is faulty, please contact Ruijie technical support.
Check whether the LEDs are normal. Check whether cables are properly connected with ports. Contact Ruijie technical support to check whether hardware faults exist. Common Troubleshooting Procedures 6.2.1 Ethernet Port Is Not Working After the Ethernet Cable Is Plugged In Verify that the device at the other end of the Ethernet cable is working properly.
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Troubleshooting 6.2.4 LED Is Steady Green The device performs initialization after power-on. During this period, the LED keeps steady green and does not turn normal blue until the initialization is completed. Note: If the steady green persists for an hour, the device initialization fails and the device is faulty.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix Cabling Recommendations During installation, route cable bundles upward or downward along the sides of the rack depending on the actual situation in the equipment room. All cable connectors should be placed at the bottom of the cabinet rather than be exposed outside of the cabinet.
Page 40
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix ○ The cable management brackets and cabling troughs inside and outside the cabinet should be smooth without sharp corners. ○ The metal hole traversed by cables should have a smooth and fully rounding surface or an insulated lining.
Page 41
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix ○ The power cables connecting moving parts such as door grounding wires should be reserved with some access after being assembled to avoid suffering tension or stress. When a moving part reaches the installation position, the remaining cable part should not touch heat sources, sharp corners, or sharp edges.
