Check Cat-5/6 cable length.
Move RAU to another port. If
no fault reported, replace the
Expansion Hub. If fault
reported, replace RAU.

Green Cat-5/6 cable failure.
RAU internal failure.
Verify Cat-5/6 cable has no
shorts or opens.
Move RAU to another port. If
fault persists, replace RAU. If
no fault reported, remove RAU,
power cycle the Expansion
Hub, connect known good
RAU to port. If fault reported,
replace the Expansion Hub.
