The AccessBuilder 500 is fully performance tested after assembly. Providing

competent network engineer.
In the unlikely event that you experience problems with the unit, the
following procedure will enable you to undertake basic troubleshooting
before contacting your 3Com reseller.

system supply is turned on. The mains lead is correctly
plugged into the unit’s power socket.
