A-2. Troubleshooting

This section provides the solutions for possible troubles you may experience when you are
conguring or using the SX-BR-4600WAN2.
My Access Point is not displayed in the Wireless Network List of the Web conguration interface.
The Access Point may not be active.
Solution
The Access Point may be operating in a stealth mode.
Solution
Please check that the Access Point is operating correctly.
Congure the detailed settings of the wireless network at Detailed Conguration of the Web conguration interface to connect to the Access Point. Remember that Access Points operating in a stealth mode will not be displayed in the list.
Too many wireless devices may be operating, exceeding the maximum number of
devices the SX-BR-4600WAN2 can show on (up to 32 devices).
Solution
Up to 32 wireless devices can be displayed at Wireless Network List. To show your Access Point in the list, use SSID Filter so that only the specied networks are displayed there. Even when the Access Point is not displayed in the list, it can be connected by conguring the wireless settings at Detailed Conguration of the Web conguration interface.
I failed to connect to a wireless network using Smart Wireless Setup.
The WPS feature may be disabled on the Access Point.
Solution
Check that the Access Point supports the WPS feature. Depending on the Access Point, you may need to manually enable the WPS feature. For details, see the operating manual that came with your Access Point.
The SSID Filter may be enabled on the SX-BR-4600WAN2.
Solution
Disable the SSID Filter at Detailed Conguration of the Web conguration interface. If the SSID Filter is enabled, conguration using Smart Wireless Setup does not work.

A LAN port error has occurred (POWER LED: Blinks rapidly, WLAN LED: OFF, STATUS LED: ON).
The bridge feature may be aborted as the non-wireless device is unplugged and
changed to the other device on the LAN port.
Solution
Restart the SX-BR-4600WAN2. In Single Client Mode, if the non-wireless device is unplugged and changed to the other device, SX-BR-4600WAN2 will abort bridging of that device, taking such occurrence as an error. Also, when the MAC address ltering is used to restrict the devices to bridge, you will need to change the setting registered to Network Device Address. This error does not occur in Multi-Client Mode. The restart is not required then.
Several devices may have been connected to the SX-BR-4600WAN2 using a HUB,
though it is operating in Single Client Mode.
Solution
In Single Client Mode, connect only one device to the LAN port of SX-BR­4600WAN2. To use several devices, use Multi-Client Mode.
I cannot access the non-wireless device connected to a LAN port of the SX-BR-4600WAN2.
The SX-BR-4600WAN2 or non-wireless device may not be operating correctly.
Solution
Please check the LED status on SX-BR-4600WAN2. Please also check that the non­wireless device is properly powered on.
The connection may be restricted by the MAC address ltering on SX-BR-4600WAN2.
Solution
The connection to the non-wireless device is lost.
See the setting at Network Device Address to check that access of the connected device is not restricted by the MAC address ltering.
The connection may be timed out.
Solution
If the connected non-wireless device is idle and no communication occurs from it for 5 mins, SX-BR-4600WAN2 automatically cuts a link with it. To recover the communication, try to do anything that can cause communication packets on the non-wireless device. For the connection not to be timed out again, it is recommended to disable the sleep mode on the non-wireless device.
82
(Example) If the connected non-wireless device is a printer and the printer has turned into a sleep mode, printing will become unavailable as SX-BR-4600WAN2 will disconnect a link with the printer. To get printing ready again, wake up the printer from a sleep mode using the control panel on it to make a communication from the printer to SX-BR­4600WAN2.

The imported IEEE802.1X certicate cannot be deleted.
It is impossible to delete the imported certicate only.
Solution
To delete the imported certicate, initialize the SX-BR-4600WAN2.
NOTE:
The imported certicate is validated only when it is used. Even if you keep the certicate, it has no impact on the authentication process since the imported certicate is used only with the compatible authentication method.
