Actions
Check the following:
Make sure that the switch to which the WAVE appliance is connected is
•
powered on.
Check all connections at the Ethernet controller and the switch.
•
Use another port on the switch.
•
If the switch does not support autonegotiation, manually configure the
•
Ethernet controller to match the switch.
(Both sides of the connection must be set the same. Mixing
autonegotiation and hard-coded configurations will result in half duplex,
which causes a CRC error on the interface.)
If you manually configured duplex mode, make sure that you also
•
manually configure the speed.
Check the following:
The network might be idle. Try sending data from this appliance.
•
Check all connections at the Ethernet controller and the switch.
•
Use another port on the switch.
•
Check the following:
• Make sure that you are using Category 5 or higher cabling when operating
the appliance at 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.
• Make sure that the cables do not run close to noise-inducing sources such
as fluorescent lights.
Make sure the RJ-45 jack is securely latched (avoid cables with broken
•
latches).
Check the following:
• Try a different connector on the switch.
• If you suspect the adapter is faulty, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance
Center (TAC).
