Power cycling modems and telephones

2014-03-17 14 Dailymotion

Hi, my names Adam from Asent Data Cabling and in this video I'm going to talk to you about Power Cycling. <br /> <br />What is Power Cycling? <br /> <br />Well power cycling is not riding your bike really, really fast. What it actually means is simply unplugging a device, waiting 60 seconds and then plugging it back in again. <br /> <br />Now quite often this is used on modems to reset the modems. If you've lost your internet connection and it doesn't come back on, a very simple thing you can do is Power Cycle your modem. Unplug it from the wall, wait 60 seconds, plug it back in and then wait another 1 to 2 minutes to see if it synchronises again. <br /> <br />It can also be used on telephones. If your telephone stops working, and it's a non-standard phone - one that you're not renting from Telstra, then simply unplug it from the wall, wait 60 seconds, plug it back in and hopefully that will have fixed the problem. <br /> <br />Now if Power Cycling doesn't fix the problem you will need to call your telecommunication service provider. <br /> <br />If you do have any questions please ask us in the comments below or alternatively you can send us an email to adam@asent.com.au
