Diagnosing Switch Indicators
The VDSL Switch-VS2512A can be easily monitored through panel indicators to
identify problems.The table below describes common problems you may encounter
and possible solutions. If the solutions in the table fail to resolve the problem contact
Accton Technical Support for advice.
Power and Cooling Problems
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply.
However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power
connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fans on
the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the
problem, then the internal power supply may be defective. In this case, contact
Accton Technical Support for assistance.
