There Is No Data Link; Overload" Indications; Recovery Procedures - Avaya AP-3 User Manual

There Is No Data Link

If there is no data link:
1. Verify that the indicator for the port is "on."
2. Verify that the AE 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 a different device to the same port on the AE hub – if it works and a link is
established, there is probably a faulty data link in the AP.
5. Try to reconnect 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 AE hub or a bad
RJ-45 connection.

"Overload" Indications

If you observe indications of overload:
1. Verify that you are not using a cross-over cable between the AE output port and the AP.
2. Verify that there is no short over any of the twisted pair cables.
3. Move the device into a different output port. If it works, there is probably a faulty port or bad
RJ-45 connection.

Recovery Procedures

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. IP Address
management is fundamental. It is recommended that you create a chart to document and
validate the IP addresses for your system.
If the password is lost or forgotten, you will need to reset the AP to default values. The
