Ethernet surge, got both sides.  Check for shielded Cat5 ends; proper grounded 
POE  and most importantly, your outdoor ground block has a good ground.

Subject: [AFMUG] Strange one

We had  call yesterday about a link going down.  I could see RF was fine and 
LAN cable plugged but no traffic passing.  We headed out there and I had 
connected to Rocket M5...LAN light would come in and out.   We saw all LEDs 
operational on radio...like stuck.   We changed POE after checking cable and 
still no LAN link.  We tried resetting to default.  Nothing.
replaced radios and configured it.  Good link..Internet on laptop,
connect it to their Cisco Linksys router...no LEDs on WAN port.   checked that 
cable..nope its good.  LAN and wireless ports are working ..
They had another router already configured.   Tried that and success.
So according to client on Monday, thunderstorm passed through area around 
closing time.   Apparently a strike or surge burned out WAN port of router and 
LAN port of Rocket but nothing else on same surge protector.   Mast is grounded.
