The APEX2005 Ethernet Port LED Is On but the Device Isn’t Working
An active LED means a physical connection exists, but the device may not be communicating properly.
Try these steps:
- Restart the connected device.
- Try a different Ethernet cable.
- Plug the device into a different switch port.
- Check that the device’s Ethernet/network setting is enabled.
If the device works when connected directly to the router, the issue is usually the cable or device configuration.
