You can perform more in-depth troubleshooting on the Access Point 530 using the software tools available with the access point, including the full-featured console interface and the built-in Web browser interface.
Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting Tips Troubleshooting Because the Access Point 530 behaves in this way (in compliance with the IEEE 802.3-2005 standard), if a device connected to the access point has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the access point. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communications between the access point and the device. All devices connected to the Access Point 530 should be configured to auto-negotiate.
Troubleshooting Diagnosing with the LEDs Table 5-1 shows LED patterns on the access point that indicate problem conditions. 1. Check in the table for the LED pattern that you see on your access point. 2. Refer to the corresponding diagnostic tip on the next few pages. Table 5-1.
Troubleshooting Diagnosing with the LEDs Diagnostic Tips: Problem Solution 1 The access point is not plugged into an active AC power source, or the access point’s AC power adapter may have failed. 1. Verify that the power cord is plugged into an active power source and to the access point's AC power adapter. Make sure these connections are secure. 2. Try power-cycling the access point by unplugging and plugging the power cord back in. 3.
Troubleshooting Diagnosing with the LEDs Problem Solution 5 The 10/100Base-TX network connection is not working properly. Try the following procedures: • Verify that both ends of the cabling, at the access point and the connected device, are connected properly. • Verify the connected device and access point are both powered on and operating correctly. • Verify duplex operation (see page 5-1). • If these procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different cable.
Troubleshooting Proactive Networking Troubleshooting Proactive Networking The following interfaces provide tests, indicators, and an event log that can be used to monitor the access point and its network connections and to help you troubleshoot: 5-6 ■ A graphical Web browser interface that you can use to manage your access point from a PC running a supported Web browser, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer.

To reset the access point, either Caution ■ Unplug and plug in the power cord (power-cycling). ■ Press the Reset button on the back of the access point for about two seconds (until the LEDs start to blink rapidly). If you are attached to the console port, you will see that the access point starts its system initialization.
Troubleshooting Hardware Diagnostic Tests Troubleshooting Then, when you reset the access point, note the messages that are displayed. Additionally, you can check the access point’s event log, which can be accessed from the Web browser or a Syslog server. Testing Twisted-Pair Cabling Network cables that fail to provide a link or provide an unreliable link between the access point and the connected network device may not be compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, or 100Base-TX standards.
Troubleshooting Restoring Custom and Factory Default Configurations As part of your troubleshooting process on the Access Point 530, it may become necessary to return the access point’s configuration to custom or factory default settings. This process momentarily interrupts the access point’s operation, clears the console event log, resets the network counters to zero, and reboots the access point.
Troubleshooting Restoring Custom and Factory Default Configurations Troubleshooting 3. While the LEDs are still flashing, release the clear button. The configuration sets to the custom default settings and the AP is rebooted. To restore a custom default configuration using the console, execute the erase startup-config command from the console command prompt. To execute the factory default reset on the access point, perform these steps: 1. Press the reset and clear buttons simultaneously. 2.
