Troubleshooting
If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the failure by determining the answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:
Is the power LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO
- Is the power adapter the proper type of voltage and cycle frequency for the AC outlet?
- Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter and in the outlet?
- Contact your local sales distributor for technical Support.
YES Proceed to step 2.
Is the Duplex/Link LED illuminated on a port with twisted-pair cable installed?
NO
- Check the copper cables for proper connection.
YES
- OFF = The media converter has selected half-duplex mode.
- ON = The media converter has selected full-duplex mode.
- If the mode is not correct, disconnect and reconnect the twisted pair cable to restart the initialization process.
Proceed to step 3.
Is the “Link action” LED illuminated on the fiber cable port?
NO
- Check the fiber cables for proper connection.
- Verify that the TX and RX cables are connected to the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the 100Base-FX device.
YES – Proceed to step 4.
Is the “Speed” LED illuminated on a port with twisted-pair cable installed?
NO
- Check the copper cables for proper connection.
YES
- OFF = The media converter has selected 10Mbps operation.
- ON = The media converter has selected 100Mbps operation.
- If the speed is not correct, disconnect and reconnect the twisted pair cable to restart the initialization process.
Note : Connecting to Router, Bridge or Switch, please refer to the device’s Technical Manual.
