6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
All Magnum Ethernet products are designed to provide reliability and
consistently high performance in all network environments. The installation of
Magnum 8000X Mixed-Media Fiber Hub is a straightforward procedure (see
INSTALLATION, Section 2.6); the operation is also straightforward and is discussed
in Section 4.
Should problems develop during installation or operation, this section is
intended to help locate, identify and correct these types of problems. Please follow the
suggestions listed below prior to contacting your supplier. However, if you are unsure
of the procedures described in this section or if the Magnum 8000X Mixed-Media Fiber
Hub is not performing as expected, do not attempt to repair the unit; instead contact
your supplier for assistance or contact GarrettCom Customer Support.
6.1 Before Calling for Assistance
1. If difficulty is encountered when installing or operating the unit, refer back to
the Installation Section of the applicable chapter of this manual. Also check
to make sure that the various components of the network are interoperable.
2. Check the cables and connectors to ensure that they have been properly
connected and the cables/wires have not been crimped or in some way
impaired during installation. (About 90% of network downtime can be
attributed to wiring and connector problems.)
3. Make sure that an AC power cord is properly attached to each Magnum
8000X Mixed-Media Fiber Hub unit. Be certain that each AC power cord is plugged
into a functioning electrical outlet. Use the PWR LEDs to verify each unit is receiving
power.
4. If the problem is isolated to a network device other than the Magnum 8000X
Mixed-Media Fiber Hub product, it is recommended that the problem device is replaced
with a known good device. Verify whether or not the problem is corrected. If not, go
to Step 5 below. If the problem is corrected, the Magnum 8000X Mixed-Media
Fiber Hub and its associated cables are functioning properly.
5. If the problem continues after completing Step 4 above, contact your supplier
of the Magnum 8000X Mixed-Media Fiber Hub unit or if unknown, contact
GarrettCom, Inc.by fax, phone or email (support@garrettcom.com) for assistance.
