Question:
Troubleshooting a port that does not come up on Advantech CPE
Solution:
Follow these steps to configure and enable a port on an Advantech CPE:
1. Run the %sudo dmidecode -t command to check the manufacturing information.
Example:
%sudo dmidecode -t
Output:
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes System Information Manufacturer: Versa Networks, Inc. Product Name: FWA13201602E-T Version: Serial Number: KSA2074846 UUID: 03000200-0400-0500-0006-000700080009 Wake-up Type: Power Switch SKU Number: Versa 110 Family: Server
2. Run this script on the Advantech box to fix the issue.
