Troubleshooting

Symptom Corrective action
The midspan does not power up Unplug and then re-plug the midspan’s power

cable and check the power LED indicator status during the power-up sequence.
Verify that the power inlet voltage is between 100-240 V AC.
Verify that the power inlet cable is intact/functional.
The remote device connected to the midspan does not power up| Verify that the remote device is designed for PoE operation.
Verify that the remote device is connected to the midspan’s DATA PWR OUT port using a standard STP CATS or higher, straight-wired network cable with four pairs.
If an external power splitter is in use, verify that it works.
Verify that there is no short circuit on any of the twisted pair cables or RJ45 connectors.
If possible, connect the remote device to different midspan.
Symptom| Corrective action
---|---
The remote device connected to the midspan powers up but there is no data link| If using an Ethernet RJ45 cable, verify that it is a standard STP CATS or higher, straight-wired network cable with four pairs.
If using an Ethernet RJ45 cable, verify that its length between the network switch and the remote device is less than 100 m (330 ft).
If using an optical fibre cable, verify that the cable and the SFP module are of the correct type and that the cable is intact/functional.
If possible connect the remote device to different midspan.
