JGS524PE Regularly Hangs, Stopping all Traffic, and Requires a Reboot
i have a JGS524PE PoE switch which is currently under test, prior to being installed in the network. At least once every 24 hour period the switch hangs and needs to be rebooted. During the hang, all...
Hi kdwilliams,
For now, using the older firmware is our workaround and only used it to isolate the issue. However, if you will continue to get the issue I suggest you contact support. I have checked your products that are registered on our system and the JGS524PE is under our lifetime warranty, so if determined that this is a hardware issue you can still have it replaced. This device does not have a lot of features since it is only an Unmanaged Plus Switch.
I hope my answer helps. If you have more questions, we'll be happy to assist.
Thanks,
Hi JohnRo...
it doesnt appear to get hot, but i have noticed that the fan light is not on and the fan appears to be off. The switch is in a cabinet in another room, so its not immediately obvious if the fan ever runs, or stops... i've just checked it and it is running just now, though.
I can certainly test an older firmware, that should be straight forward :)
Hello kdwilliams,
Well, I would say it is a hardware problem if the fans stop working. The switch is quite big so, it is critical if the fans will stop. Please test an older firmware version and tell me the results, also try to observe if the fans are not working.
I'll look forward to your response.
Thanks,
Ok, I'll try an older firmware today... any specific version recommended?
The fans appear to be running just now - so maybe its an intermiitent thing?
Ok, it is currently running 2.0.1.17 firmware... lets see what happens today. It has not 'hung' in the last 24 hours... so i would expect, based on recent form, that it will do so this morning.
Hello kdwilliams,
If in case it work for more than 24 hours and no symptoms appear, upgrade the firmware back to the latest version and test again.
Hopefully, it will work as expected.
I'll look forward to your update.
Thanks,
