A Sharp MX B401 lost network connectivity. &nbsp;We tested wires and switches between it and the network drop. &nbsp;We cannot get a link light unless the copier is plugged directly into the drop. &nbsp;No link light when connected to a known good switch with a known good cable. &nbsp;Is this a network problem or a copier problem?<br />
When connected to the drop, it gets its IP address from an SBS2003 server and I am able to connect to the web interface, it still sends error code CE-00 when trying to scan to email.

A Sharp MX B401 lost network connectivity.  We tested wires and switches between it and the network drop.  We cannot get a link light unless the copier is plugged directly into the drop.  No link light when connected to a known good switch with a known good cable.  Is this a network problem or a copier problem?

no link light on copier when connected through switch

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
