Troubleshooting
Symptoms and Solutions

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 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 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.
