Dimensions And Operating Conditions - 3Com OfficeConnect 140 User Manual

P
The OfficeConnect switch has been designed to aid you
when detecting and solving possible problems with your
network. These problems are rarely serious; the cause is
usually a disconnected or damaged cable, or incorrect
configuration. If this section does not solve your
problem, contact your supplier for information on what
to do next.
Perform these actions first:
Ensure all equipment is powered on.
Power each unit off, wait about 5 seconds and then
power them on.
Check the following symptoms and solutions:
Power LED not lit. Check your power adapter
connection. If there is still no power, you may have a
faulty power adapter which needs replacing with
another OfficeConnect power adapter. Do not use any
other power adapter with the switch.
Alert LED continuously lit. If the Alert LED is lit, there is
a problem with the network. Starting with the
100BASE-TX port, remove the port connections one at a
time, waiting a few seconds between each port. If the
Alert LED goes off, there is either a network loop or an
excessive amount of broadcast traffic on that port
connection:
Network loop — Examine your connections and
remove the loop. Each piece of equipment needs
only one connection to your switch.
