Using System Logs
If a fault does occur, refer to the Quick Start Guide to ensure that the problem you
encountered is actually caused by the AP. If the problem appears to be caused by
the AP, follow these steps:
1. Repeat the sequence of commands or other actions that lead up to the error.
2. Make a list of the commands or circumstances that led to the fault. Also make a
list of any error messages displayed.
3. Record all relevant system settings.
4. Display the log file through the System > System Log menu, and copy the
information from the log file.
5. Contact your distributor’s service engineer, and send a detailed description of
the problem, along with all of the information mentioned in the above steps.

◆
Be sure the AP is powered up.
◆
Check network cabling between the management station and the
AP.
◆
Check that you have a valid network connection to the AP and
that intermediate switch ports have not been disabled.
◆
Be sure you have configured the AP with a valid IP address, subnet
mask and default gateway.
◆
Be sure the management station has an IP address in the same
subnet as the AP’s IP.
◆
If you are trying to connect to the AP using a tagged VLAN group,
your management station, and the ports connecting intermediate
switches in the network, must be configured with the appropriate
tag.
◆
If you cannot connect using Telnet/SSH, you may have exceeded
the maximum number of concurrent Telnet/SSH sessions
permitted. Try connecting again at a later time.

Reset the AP to factory defaults using its Reset button.
