Solutions to Common Problems
Most problems are caused by the following situations:
■ Incorrect Hub-to-Hub connections. In addition to Extender Cable
hub-to-hub connections, you used crossover cable, thin coax, or fiber
cable to make hub-to-hub connections. Remove Switching Hub-to-
Switching Hub connections other than the Extender Cable.
■ Loopback. Verify the Extender cable is not looped back to the same
hub:
■ Incorrect cable lengths. Maximum cable lengths are in the
HP Switching Hubs Installation Guide.
■ Bad cable or cable is not snug. Look for loose connections. If snug,
try a different cable.
■ Nonstandard cables. Miswired cables may cause numerous net-
work collisions, and can seriously impair network performance. Use
a new correctly wired cable or compare your cable to the cable in
appendix A, “Cables and Connectors” for pinouts and correct cable
wiring.
