Ceiling box not working no lights on,

Azuycar — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 20:42:19 GMT

Switcher has two lights on a green which is power on and a yellow light which is next to system, ceiling access points are not being powered no internet access I had this problem in the past where accidentally switcher got unplugged and it was hard for access points to come alive. This recent problem was due to a one or two minute delay power outage

Hi @Azuycar

Greetings!!!

Thank you for contacting RUCKUS Lennar Home Community.

I hope you are doing well!!!

Thank you for the information you shared.

As per the case description, I understand that your RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch is not working with green and yellow light and Access Point do not have power.

As you mentioned there are lights on PWR and SYST, if there is an amber/orange light on the "SYST" and a green light on the "PWR" on the Switch (as it is in the below picture). Meaning the Switch is stuck in the boot mode.

Basically, due to the power outage/ power spike, the switch went to a state that we call ‘boot mode’ that is not able to boot up properly. And this is the reason your RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch is unable to transmit power (PoE- Power over Ethernet) to the Access Points or on its ports.

Please follow the below steps to fix this issue:

First, we will try to reset the Switch as described below:

1. Please try to disconnect from the Power outlet the ICX-7150 and reconnect.

2. Please try to press the reset button using a paper click or a small stick

Remove power from the switch.
Press and hold the Reset button while applying power to the switch.
After all the system LEDs flash amber, release the Reset button.

Below is the Guide and Videos link and VIDEO for your reference:

IF THE RESET IS NOT WORKING, PLEASE TRY TO RESET YOUR SWITCH MULTIPLE TIMES (Like 10-15 times) AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. As we have seen it working sometimes after trying multiple times in many cases. If the reset with a paperclip works, the SYST and PWR lights should turn GREEN.

IF RESET DOESN’T WORK: Please follow the below steps.

If the reset does not make any difference, we need to perform a software recovery since it can be that the image flash is corrupted in basic words the unit is not able to boot up properly and need re-install the image to boot up properly.

Below is the Guide and Video Link to perform the Software recovery process:

Please refer to the below guide and Video link:

Please note, we must use ethernet cable (both ends RJ45 plugs) and USB to type C cable both together as described in steps 2 & 3 in the guide link.

Please let me know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again for your patience.

Hello,

I have the same problem as the guy above the only difference I am having is my system light is green. So both of my lights are green, but my ceiling box has no lights showing. If I reset the system it will boot up and I will be able to connect to the internet for about 30 seconds than the box on the ceiling will just turn off. Any suggestions?

One idea: before assuming wiring fault, think about whether any recent ceiling modifications might interfere. For instance if a gypsum false ceiling was added or altered above, the lighting box wiring might’ve been rerouted or disturbed.
You should also check upstream power sources, fuses, connectors, and test voltage at the box. Let me know what you find and I’ll help you narrow it down.
