JFS524E cannot access neither reset to factory default

That's not good. How about connecting it to a DHCP server just to check if it will be receiving an IP? Then run the ProSAFE utility.

I have just set up a (linux) DHCP server on the fly. Double-checked the server config and tried it, by connecting a linux client PC, and the DHCP server works. Then I tried these steps:
- connected the switch to the DHCP server
- turned the switch on
, and the server does not show any lease granted.
then
- connected the client to the switch
, and the client regularly obtains the lease.
So it seems the device is not able to obtain a DCHP address.
Double checked the behavior with one other device also, same result. That's really weird isn't it?

That's weird. Have you even tried to use the other JFS524E so that we can isolate?
