ROUBLESHOOTING

This section describes common problems you may encounter and their possible solutions. Use the panel

indicators to monitor and identify problems with the SpeedStream 2602. If you cannot resolve any

connection problems after checking the indicators,

refer to the following table.

Table A-1.

Troubleshooting Chart

Symptom

Action

LED Indicators

Power LED is Off

•

External power supply has failed or is

disconnected.

•

Check connections between the SpeedStream 2602, the external power supply, and

the wall outlet.

•

If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may

have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or external power supply.

•

If the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections,

power losses or surges at the power outlet.

•

If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the external power supply may be

defective. In this case, contact Siemens Technical Support for assistance.

Link LED is Off

•

Verify that the SpeedStream 2602 and attached devices are powered on.

•

Be sure the cable is plugged into both the SpeedStream 2602 and the corresponding

device.

•

Verify that the proper cable type is used and that its length does not exceed the

specified limits.

•

Be sure that the network interface on the attached device is configured for the proper

communication speed and duplex mode.

•

Check the adapter on the attached device and cable connections for possible defects.

Replace any defective adapter or cable if necessary.

Network Connection Problems

Cannot ping the

SpeedStream 2602

from the attached

LAN, or the

SpeedStream 2602

cannot ping any

device on the attached

LAN

•

Verify that the IP addresses are properly configured. For most applications, you

should use the SpeedStream 2602 DHCP function to dynamically assign IP addresses

to any host on the attached LAN. However, if you manually configure any IP

addresses on the LAN, verify that the same network address (network component of

the IP address) and subnet mask are used for both the SpeedStream 2602 and any

attached LAN devices.

•

Be sure the device you want to ping (or from which you are pinging) has been

configured for TCP/IP.

Management Problems

Cannot connect using

the Web browser

•

Be sure you configured the SpeedStream 2602

with a valid IP address, subnet mask

and default gateway.

•

Check that you have a valid network connection to the SpeedStream 2602 and that the

port you are using has not been disabled.

•

Check the network cabling between the management station and the SpeedStream

2602.

Forgot or lost the

password

•

Press the

Reset

button on the front panel (holding it down for at least five seconds) to

restore the factory defaults.

Cable Types and Specifications

Twisted-pair Cable

Caution:

DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with

RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.

For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire

pair is identified by two different colors. An RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.

Except for the WAN port, all RJ-45 ports on the SpeedStream 2602 support automatic MDI/MDI-X

configuration, so you can use straight-through cable to attach the LAN ports to any network device.

However, when connecting the WAN port to a broadband modem, you will need to use either straight-

through or crossover cable, depending on the port type used on the modem.

The figure below illustrates how the pin numbering on the RJ-45 connector. Be sure to hold the connectors

in the same orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.
