1. Verify that access point's 10/100Base-TX port is attached to a PoE source device.
2. Verify that the PoE source device is powered on, and that the PoE function has been
administratively enabled on the source port attached to the access point.
3. Refer to Tip 6 to verify that the network cable is functioning properly.
1. Try resetting the access point by pressing the Reset button on the back of the access
point, or by power cycling the access point.
2. If the fault indication reoccurs, attach a console to the access point (as indicated in
chapter 2). Then, reset the access point. Messages should appear on the console
screen identifying the error condition. You can view the console log at that point using
the web browser interface. Select the Status tab, then Events Log, or view the entry
file on your Syslog server if one is configured.
If necessary to resolve the problem, contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the
electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/
Warranty booklet for more information.
Verify that the wireless port has not been disabled through an access point configuration
change. You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on
the access point, use the web browser interface to determine the state of the wireless
port and re-enable the port if necessary. Also verify that the country code has been set.
Try the following procedures:
• Verify that both ends of the cabling, at the access point and the connected device, are
connected properly.
• Verify the connected device and access point are both powered on and operating
correctly.
• Verify duplex operation (see page 4-1).
• If these procedures don't resolve the problem, try using a different cable.
VLAN configuration may affect the port operation. Use the access point's console to see
how the port is configured for VLANs.
Make sure also, that the device at the other end of the connection is indicating a good
link to the access point. If it is not, the problem may be with the cabling between the
devices or the connectors on the cable.
