POE switch (non cisco). We did take some of the failed units and plugged them into a Cisco POE switch to rule out a switch issue.
We did not check the console port of the AP, but the port on the switch was not lighting up either. -Sam -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jeffrey D.

I agree with one of the other posters that even with no lights displayed, there can be action on the console port. Was the initial failure when connected to a POE switch or using an injector? Cisco switches/injectors or third-party?

Out of a batch of ~500 recently installed Aps, we have had roughly 70 fail. Some were online for a month, but some only a few days. Typically they will fail after a powercycle or loss of power. We are working with Cisco on this, but I’m curious if this is a more wide spread problem. ------------------------------------------------------------- Sam Ziadeh Manager, Network Engineering & Architecture University Networking & Infrastructure Information Technology Services Louisiana State University (225) 578-0074 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss.
