Basic Troubleshooting Tips
Make sure that you have a valid network topology. If you have trouble after a recent
change to the network, switch back to the previous topology. If you no longer have
trouble, the new topology is probably at fault. Topology faults may be due to excessive
cable lengths or excessive repeater delays between nodes. For configuration guidelines,
see the HP EtherTwist Technical Reference Guide (p/n 5091-3237E).
Make sure that the hub is plugged in and that cable connections are secure.
Make sure that “transmit” and “receive” fibers are correctly connected to the “Tx” and
“Rx” receptacles. Try switching them if the Port LED is OFF or FLASHING.
