Installation 
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more 
components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network 
cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the 
other components are functioning properly. 
In-Band Access 
You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the 
attached network using Telnet, a web browser, or other network management 
software tools. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP 
address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link 
to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. 
Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through 
which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not been 
disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location 
and the switch. 
Note: The management agent accepts up to four simultaneous Telnet sessions. If 
the maximum number of sessions already exists, an additional Telnet connection 
will not be able to log into the system. 
Stack Troubleshooting 
If a stack fails to initialize or function, first check the following items: 
• Check that all stacking cables are properly connected. 
• Check if any stacking cables appear damaged. 
• Check that the Master Select button is pressed in on only one unit in the stack. 
• Check that each unit has the stacking ports enabled (the Stack button pushed 
out). 
• Check that all switches in the stack are powered on. After checking all items, 
reboot all the switches in the stack.
