Chapter 1: Overview
Note
10/100Base-T Twisted Pair Ports
The AT-IE200-6FT and AT-IE200-6FP switches have four 10/100Base-T ports.
Speed
The ports can operate at either 10 or 100 Mbps. The speeds may be set manually using the management
software or automatically with Auto-Negotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting.
Duplex Mode
The twisted pair ports can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode. The duplex mode determines the
manner in which a port transmits data. A port set to half-duplex can either transmit or receive data at one
time, while a port operating in full-duplex can transmit and receive data at the same time. The best network
performance is achieved with the full-duplex setting, but not all network equipment is designed to support
that duplex mode.
The duplex modes, like port speeds, may be set manually using the management software or automatically
with Auto-Negotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting.
The speed and duplex mode settings of a port may be set independently of each other. For example, a port
may be configured such that its speed is set manually while its duplex mode is established through AutoNegotiation.
A switch port that is connected to a network device that does not support Auto-Negotiation and has
a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex should not set its duplex mode with Auto-Negotiation. A duplex-
mode mismatch in which a switch port and a network device operate at different duplex modes, may
occur. The duplex modes of switch ports that are connected to network devices that do not support
Auto-Negotiation should be set manually through the management software.
Wiring Configuration
The wiring configuration of a port can be MDI or MDI-X. The wiring configurations of a switch port and a
network device connected with straight-through twisted pair cabling have to be opposite, such that one
device is using MDI and the other MDI-X. For instance, a switch port has to be set to MDI-X if it is connected
to a network device set to MDI.
You may set the wiring configurations of the ports manually or let the switch configure them automatically
with auto-MDI/MDI-X (IEEE 802.3ab-compliant). This feature enables the switch to negotiate with network
devices to establish the proper settings, so that the ports on the devices are using different wiring
configurations.
Maximum Distance
The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
AT-IE200 Series Installation Guide 21
Chapter 1: Overview
Power Over Ethernet
The 10/100Base-T ports on the AT-IE200-6FP switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE), which is a standard
whereby DC power is provided by the switch to network devices over the network twisted pair cables. The
switches support PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at). For more information, refer to “Power Over
Ethernet” on page 26.

Note
10/100/1000Base-T Twisted Pair Ports
The AT-IE200-6GT and AT-IE200-6GP switches have four 10/100/1000Base-T ports.
Speed
The ports can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. You can set the speed manually by using the management
software or automatically with Auto-Negotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting.
The ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation to function at 1000 Mbps. They are not compatible with
devices that are not IEEE 802.3u compliant.
Duplex Mode
The twisted pair ports can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode. The duplex modes, like port speeds,
may be set manually using the management software or automatically with Auto-Negotiation (IEEE 802.3u),
the default setting.
You can set the speed and duplex mode settings of a port independently of each other. For example, a port
may be configured such that its speed is set manually while its duplex mode is established through AutoNegotiation.
A switch port that is connected to a network device that does not support Auto-Negotiation and has
a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex should not set its duplex mode with Auto-Negotiation. A duplex-
mode mismatch in which a switch port and a network device operate at different duplex modes, may
occur. The duplex modes of switch ports that are connected to network devices that do not support
Auto-Negotiation should be set manually through the management software.
Wiring Configuration
The wiring configuration of a port operating at 10 or 100 Mbps can be MDI or MDI-X. The wiring
configurations of a switch port and a network device connected with straight-through twisted pair cabling
have to be opposite, such that one device is using MDI and the other MDI-X. For instance, a switch port has
to be set to MDI-X if it is connected to a network device set to MDI.
You may set the wiring configurations of the ports manually or let the switch configure them automatically
with auto-MDI/MDI-X (IEEE 802.3ab-compliant). This feature enables the switch to automatically negotiate
with network devices to establish the proper settings.
The MDI and MDI-X settings do not apply when the ports are operating at 1000 Mbps.

AT-IE200 Series Installation Guide 25
Chapter 1: Overview
Power Over Ethernet
The AT-IE200-6GP and AT-IE200-6FP switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the 10/100Base-T or
10/100/1000Base-T ports. PoE is used to supply power to network devices over the same twisted pair cables
that carry the network traffic.
One of the advantages of PoE is that it makes it easier to install a network. The placement of network devices
is often limited by whether there are power sources nearby. This often limits equipment placement or
requires the added time and cost of having additional electrical sources installed. But with PoE, you can install
PoE-compatible devices wherever they are needed without having to worry about whether there are power
sources nearby.
A device that provides PoE to other network devices is referred to as power sourcing equipment (PSE). The
switches act as PSE units by adding DC power to the network cable, thus functioning as a central power
source for other network devices.
Devices that receive their power from a PSE are called powered devices (PD). Examples include wireless access
points, IP telephones, webcams, and even other Ethernet switches.
The switch automatically determines whether or not a device connected to a port is a powered device. Ports
that are connected to network nodes that are not powered devices (that is, devices that receive their power
from another power source) function as regular Ethernet ports, without PoE. The PoE feature remains
activated on the ports but no power is delivered to the devices.
PoE Standards
The AT-IE200-6GP and AT-IE200-6FP switches support these PoE standards:
PoE (IEEE 802.3af): This standard provides up to 15.4 watts at the switch port to
support powered devices that require up to 12.95 watts.
PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at): This standard provides up to 30.0 watts at the switch port to
support powered devices that require up to 25.5 watts.
Powered Device Classes
Powered devices are grouped into the five classes listed in Table 3. The classes are based on the amount of
power the devices require. The switches support all five classes.
Table 3: IEEE Powered Device Classes
Class
0 15.4W 0.44W to 12.95W

Power Budget
The AT-IE200-6GP and AT-IE200-6FP switches have a PoE power budget of 120 watts. This is the maximum
amount of power the switches can provide at one time to the powered devices.
The power requirements of the PoE devices determine the maximum number of devices the switch can
support at one time. So long as the total power requirements of the powered devices is less than the power
budget of the switch, the switch can supply power to all of the devices. If the total power requirements
exceed the power budget, the switch denies power to one or more ports using a mechanism referred to as
port prioritization.
To determine whether the power requirements of the PoE devices you plan to connect to the switch exceed
its power budget, refer to their documentation for their power requirements and add the requirements
together. The switch should be able to power all of the devices simultaneously as long as the total is below its
power budget. If the total exceeds the available power budget, you should consider reducing the number of
PoE devices so that all of the devices receive power. Otherwise, the switch powers a subset of the devices,
based on port prioritization.
The switch can handle different power requirements on different ports. This enables you to connect different
classes of PoE equipment to the ports on the switch.
Port Prioritization
If the power requirements of the powered devices exceed the switch’s power budget, the switch denies
power to some ports based on a system called port prioritization. You may use this mechanism to ensure
that powered devices critical to the operations of your network are given preferential treatment by the
switch in the distribution of power should the demands of the devices exceed the available capacity.
There are three priority levels:
Critical
High
Low
Ports set to the Critical level, the highest priority level, are guaranteed power before any of the ports
assigned to the other two priority levels. Ports assigned to the other priority levels receive power only if all
the Critical ports are receiving power. Ports that are connected to your most critical powered devices
should be assigned to this level. If there is not enough power to support all the ports set to the Critical
priority level, power is provided to the ports based on port number, in ascending order.
The High level is the second highest level. Ports set to this level receive power only if all the ports set to the
AT-IE200 Series Installation Guide 27
Chapter 1: Overview
Critical level are already receiving power. If there is not enough power to support all of the ports set to the
High priority level, power is provided to the ports based on port number, in ascending order.
The lowest priority level is Low. This is the default setting. Ports set to this level only receive power if all of
the ports assigned to the other two levels are already receiving power. As with the other levels, if there is not
enough power to support all of the ports set to the Low priority level, power is provided to the ports based
on port number, in ascending order.
Power allocation is dynamic. Ports supplying power to powered devices may cease power transmission if the
switch’s power budget is at maximum usage and new powered devices, connected to ports with higher
priorities, become active.
Wiring Implementation
The IEEE 802.3af standard defines two methods by which a PSE, such as the switch, can transmit DC power
over twisted pair cables to PDs. These methods, known as modes A and B, identify the wire strands the
switch should use when sending DC power to a PD.
Twisted pair cabling typically consists of eight strands. With 10Base-T and 100Base-T devices, the strands
connected to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 on the RJ-45 connectors carry the network traffic while strands connected to
pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are unused. With 1000Base-T devices, all eight strands are used to carry network data.
It takes four strands to deliver DC power to a PD. With Mode A, the power is delivered on pins 1, 2, 3, and
6. These are the same pins in 10Base-T and 100Base-T devices that carry the network data. With mode B,
the power is provided over the spare strands.
The ports on the AT-IE200-6GP and AT-IE200-6FP switches deliver the power using pins 4, 5, 7, and 8, which
corresponds to Mode A in the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Powered devices that comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard are required to support both power delivery
methods. Legacy devices that do not comply with the standard will work with the switch if they are powered
on pins 1, 2, 3, and 6.

Caution
Alarms
The IE200 contains two alarm ports: One for alarm input and one for alarm output.
To connect either the alarm input or alarm output, use 24 to 18 AWG cable properly rated for the
deployment environment. The maximum length of an alarm cable is two meters.
An alarm cable must be contained within the cabinet (for cabinet applications), or within the building. Do not
expose an alarm cable to the outside environment.
Alarm Input
You can connect the alarm input to a dry contact switch, such as a door switch. There are no polarity
requirements if the port is connected to a non-powered mechanical switch.
Do not apply external power to any of the alarm input’s leads.
Alarm Output
The alarm output can sync 10 mA of current at a maximum voltage of 48V DC. You must provide a series
resistance that will limit the current accordingly.
Connect the RELAY_OUT_RTN pin, connector pin 3, to the negative side of the alarm load.
Connect the RELAY_OUT pin, connector pin 4, to the positive side of the alarm load.

Console Port
The console port is used to configure the features and parameter settings of the switch. This type of
management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local or out-of-band management because it
is not conducted over your network. To perform local management, you must be at the location of the
switch and use a cable that has RJ-45 RJ-style (8P8C) and DB-9 (D-sub 9-pin) connectors.
To establish a local management session with the switch, connect a terminal or a personal computer with a
terminal emulation program to the console port, which has an RJ-45 style (8P8C) connector.
The console port is set to the following specifications:
Default baud rate: 9600 bps (range is 9600 to 115200 bps)
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
These settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulation program.

Power Supplies
IE200 models have connections for inputs from two separate DC power sources on the top panel.
Connecting two separate DC sources to the switch provides power redundancy and protects against
interruptions to network operations in the event one power input fails. Power redundancy is available only
when both DC power connections are connected to power sources.
The AT-IE200-6GP and AT-IE200-6FP models operate in a load sharing manner. Each external DC power
supply must be capable of sourcing 155W over the operating temperature range.

Chapter 4: Cabling the Networking Ports
Cabling the Twisted Pair Ports
The guidelines for cabling the 10/100Base-T and 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair ports are:
The cable specifications for the 10/100Base-T and 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair ports
are listed in Table 1 on page 22 and Table 2 on page 24, respectively.
The connectors on the cables should fit snugly into the ports, and the tabs should lock
the connectors into place.
The default setting for the wiring configurations of the ports is auto-MDI/MDI-X. The
default setting is appropriate for switch ports that are connected to 10/100Base-T
network devices that also support auto-MDI/MDI-X.
The default auto-MDI/MDI-X setting is not appropriate for switch ports that are
connected to 10/100Base-T network devices that do not support auto-MDI/MDI-X and
have a fixed wiring configuration. For switch ports connected to those types of network
devices, you should disable auto-MDI/MDI-X and set the wiring configurations manually.
The appropriate MDI/MDI-X setting for a switch port connected to a 10/100Base-T
network device with a fixed wiring configuration depends on the setting of the network
device and whether the switch and network device are connected with straight-through
or crossover cable. If you are using straight-through twisted pair cable, the wiring
configurations of a port on the switch and a port on a network device must be opposite
each other, such that one port uses MDI and the other MDI-X. For example, if a
network device has a fixed wiring configuration of MDI, you must disable auto-MDI/
MDI-X on the corresponding switch port and manually set it to MDI-X. If you are using
crossover twisted pair cable, the wiring configurations of a port on the switch and a port
on a network device must be the same.
The default speed setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation. This setting is appropriate
for ports connected to network devices that also support Auto-Negotiation.
The default speed setting of Auto-Negotiation is not appropriate for ports connected to
10/100Base-T network devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation and have fixed
speeds. For those switch ports, you should disable Auto-Negotiation and set the port’s
speed manually to match the speeds of the network devices.
The 10/100/1000Base-T ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, to
operate at 1000Mbps.
The default duplex mode setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation. This setting is
appropriate for ports connected to network devices that also support Auto-Negotiation
for duplex modes.
The default duplex mode setting of Auto-Negotiation is not appropriate for ports
connected to network devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation and have a fixed
duplex mode. You should disable Auto-Negotiation on those ports and set their duplex
modes manually to avoid the possibility of duplex mode mismatches. A switch port using
Auto-Negotiation defaults to half duplex if it detects that the end node is not using
Auto-Negotiation, which can result in a mismatch if the end node is operating at a fixed
duplex mode of full-duplex.
If the Ethernet cables will be connected to equipment that is located outdoors, such as a

Installing SFP Transceivers
General guidelines for installing SFP transceivers are:
SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. You may install them while the switch is powered
on.
Your Allied Telesis sales representative can provide you with a list of supported
transceivers for the units.
The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements of the transceivers are
provided in the documents included with the devices.
You should install a transceiver before connecting the fiber optic cable.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in the optical bores
when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when you store the transceiver. When you
do remove the plug, keep it for future use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to premature failure.
The SFP cages on the switch use an internal heat sink that requires an additional amount
of force to remove and install an SFP module.
To install an SFP transceiver:
1. Remove the dust plug from a transceiver slot on the switch.
Figure 12: Removing the dust plug from an SFP slot.

You can monitor the bootup sequence by connecting a terminal or computer that has a terminal emulator
program to the console port on the switch.
After the switch has initialized its management software, go to “Starting a Management Session” on page 59.
AT-IE200 Series Installation Guide 58
Chapter 5: Powering on the Switch
Starting a Management Session
You can use the following methods and tools to manage the switch:
Local management
Telnet client
Secure shell client
HTTP non-secure and HTTPs secure Web browser
SNMPv1, v2C, v3
Local Management
Local management uses the console port on the switch. It is commonly referred to as out-of-band
management because the management sessions are not conducted over your network. The requirements for
local management are:
A terminal or computer with a terminal emulator program
An RJ-45 management cable
This management method uses the command line interface, which gives you access to all of the features and
parameters on the switch. For instructions on how to start a local management session, refer to “Starting a
Local Management Session” on page 61.
Telnet Management
The switch has a Telnet server. You can use the server to manage the unit over your network with the
Telnet application protocol. It is commonly referred to as in-band management because it is conducted over
the network. The requirements for Telnet management are:
Your management workstation must have a Telnet client.
The Telnet server on the switch must be activated. By default, the Telnet server is
activated.
The switch must have an IP address, either from DHCP or statically assigned.
You must be able to reach the switch from your management workstation.
Telnet management uses the command-line interface, giving you access to all of the features and parameter
settings on the switch.
Telnet management sessions are not secure and are vulnerable to snooping because the packets exchanged
between the switch and your workstation are sent in plain text. The security of the switch may be
jeopardized if an intruder captures the packet containing your username and password. For secure remote
management, see “Secure Shell Management” on page 60.
AT-IE200 Series Installation Guide 59
Chapter 5: Powering on the Switch
Secure Shell Management
Secure shell (SSH) management is similar to Telnet management in that you can use it, together with the
command line interface, to manage all of the features and functions of the switch from a workstation on your
network. The difference is that this management method encrypts the packets exchanged by your computer
and the switch to protect your management sessions.
The requirements for SSH management are:
Your management workstation must have an SSH client.
The SSH server on the switch must be activated. The server’s default setting is disabled.
You must create an encryption key on the switch.
The switch must have an IP address, either from DHCP or statically assigned.
You must be able to reach the switch from your management workstation.
For instructions on how to configure the switch for SSH management, refer to the Software Reference for ATIE200 Switches.
Web Browser Management
You can remotely manage the switch with a web browser. A special web browser interface, featuring both
non-secure (HTTP) and secure (HTTPS) operation, lets you monitor and configure many of the switch’s
features from a series of windows. The interface, however, may only be used to configure a subset of the
features. To configure those features the web browser interface does not support, you have to use the
command line interface from another management method.
The requirements for non-secure HTTP web browser management are:
Your management workstation must have a web browser.
The web browser server on the switch is activated by default. This is the default setting
in the default BOOT.CFG and QSTART.CFG files.
The switch must have an IP address, either from DHCP or statically assigned.
You must be able to reach the switch from your management workstation.
Refer to the Software Reference for AT-IE200 Switches for instructions on how to configure the switch for
secure HTTPS web browser management.
SNMP
Refer to the Software Reference for AT-IE200 Switches for instructions on how to configure the switch for
SNMP management. The switch does not have any default SNMP community strings.

Note
Starting a Local Management Session
This procedure requires a terminal or a terminal emulator program and an RJ-45 management cable. To start
a local management session on the switch, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the management cable to the console port on the front panel of the
switch.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or PC with a terminal emulator
program.
3. Configure the terminal or terminal emulator program as follows:
Baud rate: 9600 bps (The baud rate of the console port is adjustable from 1200 to
115200 bps. The default is 9600 bps.)
The BootLoader can only be managed at 9600 bps. If you set the baud rate to 115200 bps the
BootLoader will not work.
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
The port settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulator program.
4. Press Enter. You are prompted for a username and password.
5. Enter the username and password to log on the switch. If this is the initial management session of the
switch, enter “manager” as the user name “friend” as the password. The user name and password are
case sensitive.
The local management session starts when the AlliedWare Plus™ command line prompt is displayed.
For information on the command line interface, refer to the Software Reference for AT-IE200 Switches.

Slot ID
Port Number
Stack ID
Specifying Ports in the Command Line Interface
The command line interface of the Local, Telnet, and SSH management methods gives you the ability to
configure all the features and parameters on the switch. Many of the commands have the PORT parameter,
which you use to identify the networking ports on the switch. This parameter has the following format:
The first number is the switch’s stack ID number. This number is always 1 for IE200 switches.
The slot ID value, which is used to specify slot numbers in a multi-module chassis, also does not apply to
IE200 switches and is always 0.
The third value is a port number on the switch. You can specify only one port number in a PORT parameter,
but you can specify more than one PORT parameter in many of the commands where the parameter is
supported.
Here is an example of the PORT parameter. It uses the INTERFACE command to enter the Port Interface
mode for ports 2 and 4:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.2,port1.0.4
You can specify port ranges. This example displays the port settings for ports 1 to 3:
awplus# show interface port1.0.1-port1.0.3
Note that you must include the prefix “port1.0.” in the last number of a range.
For instructions on the command line interface and the PORT parameter, refer to the Software Reference for
AT-IE200 Switches.

Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information on how to troubleshoot the switch if a problem occurs.
For further assistance, please contact Allied Telesis Technical Support at www.alliedtelesis.com/
support.
Problem: The PWR1 and PWR2 LEDs on the front of the switch are off.
Solution:The unit is not receiving power. Try the following:
Verify the power cable is securely fastened in the terminal block.
Verify the DC power supply is providing power by connecting another device to it.
Verify the DC power supply is providing enough power. The AT-IE200-6GT and AT-
IE200-6FT models require a minimum of 12 volts. The AT-IE200-6GP and AT-IE200-6FP
models require a minimum of 24 volts. See “Power Specifications” on page 67 for more
information.
Try connecting the unit to another DC power source.
Try a different power cable.
Verify that the voltage from the power source is within the required levels for your
region.
Problem: A twisted pair port on the switch is connected to a network device but the port’s link/activity LED
is off.
Solution: The port is unable to establish a link to a network device. Try the following:
Verify that the network device connected to the twisted pair port is powered on and is
operating properly.
Verify that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port on the switch and to
the port on the remote network device.
Verify that the port is connected to the correct twisted pair cable. This is to eliminate
the possibility that the port is connected to the wrong network device, such as a
powered off device.
Try connecting another network device to the twisted pair port with a different cable. If
the twisted pair port is able to establish a link, then the problem is with the cable or the
other network device.
Verify that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair cable: Category 3 or
better for 10 Mbps operation and Category 5 and Category 5E for 100 and 1000 Mbps
AT-IE200 Series Installation Guide 63

Note
operation.
A 1000Base connection may require five to ten seconds to establish a link.
Problem: The link/activity LED for an SFP transceiver is off.
Solution: The fiber optic port on the transceiver is unable to establish a link to a network device. Try the
following:
Verify that the network device connected to the fiber optic port is operating properly.
Verify that the fiber optic cable is securely connected to the port on the switch and to
the port on the remote network device.
Check that the SFP module is fully inserted in the slot.
Verify that the operating specifications of the fiber optic ports on the SFP transceiver
and the remote network device are compatible.
Verify that the correct type of fiber optic cabling is being used.
Verify that the port is connected to the correct fiber optic cable. This is to eliminate the
possibility that the port is connected to the wrong remote network device, such as a
powered off device.
Try connecting another network device to the fiber optic port using a different cable. If
the port is able to establish a link, then the problem is with the cable or with the other
network device.
Use the switch’s management software to verify that the port is enabled.
If the remote network device is a management device, use its management firmware to
determine whether its port is enabled.
Test the attenuation on the fiber optic cable with a fiber optic tester to determine
whether the optical signal is too weak (sensitivity) or too strong (maximum input
power).
Problem: Network performance between a twisted pair port on the switch and a network device is slow.
Solution: There might be a duplex mode mismatch between the port and the network device. This occurs
when a twisted pair port using Auto-Negotiation is connected to a device with a fixed duplex mode of full
duplex. If this is the cause of the problem, adjust the duplex mode of the port on the network device or on
the switch so that both ports are using the same duplex mode.
Problem: A port’s link/activity LED is blinking.
Solution: The link between the port and the network device is intermittent. Try the following:
Connect another network device with a different cable to the port. If the Link LED
remains steady on, then the problem is with the original cable or the network device.
If the problem is with an SFP transceiver, check that the transceiver is fully inserted in
the slot.
AT-IE200 Series Installation Guide 64
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
Problem: The AT-IE200-6FP or AT-IE200-6GP switch is not providing power to a PoE device.
Solution: Try the following:
Review the PD’s documentation to confirm that the device supports Mode A of the IEEE
802.3at standard. Mode A is one of two modes that define the connector pins that
deliver the power from the port on the switch to the PD. In Mode A, the power is
carried on pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 on the RJ-45 port, the same pins that carry the network
traffic. The second mode, Mode B, defines pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 as the power carriers. The
switches do not support Mode B. Most powered devices are designed to accept power
by either mode, but some legacy devices may only support one mode. This can be
verified by reviewing the device’s documentation or data sheet. Legacy devices that only
support Mode B will not work with the switch.
Check that the device’s power requirements do not exceed 30 watts. This can be
verified by reviewing the device’s documentation or data sheet.
Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted-pair cable.
Use the management software on the switch to determine whether PoE is enabled on
the port. The default setting for PoE is enabled.
Use the management software on the switch to determine whether the PoE power
setting for the port has been reduced to a value below the power requirements of the
device.
Try connecting the device to a different port on the switch.
