IIRC the green LED means that the link is operating in full duplex mode. If these units are running GUI-capable firmware, make sure that they aren't configured to drive some link setting that is incompatible with the switch. (Letting them auto-negotiate is by far the best solution. If you can't do that then you must ensure that both ends of the link are forced to the same bitrate and duplex convention.) If that isn't the problem then plug these units into a plain boring old cheap unmanaged 100Mbps switch? (Using a known-good cable, of course.) Does the green LED come on? If so then then problem isn't with the Sun Rays, it's with the switch port or the link cabling. Make sure that the switch port is set to auto-negotiate. If it isn't then the Sun Ray will probably end up talking 10Mbps half-duplex and if the switch port doesn't have those same settings then they'll never manage to talk to each other.
