Troubleshooting

General

Ensure the module is correctly seated to the backplane in the MCR Chassis. The PWR LED should be on solid.

Ensure both devices on either end of the fiber are compatible. If using a simplex fiber connection, ensure that you have both an Upstream (U) and Downstream (D) Media Converter.

Ensure all cabling is of the correct type and is in good working order.

For duplex fiber connections, ensure the RX and TX has been reversed between the two Media Converters.

No connectivity

If unable to get full connectivity with all DIP switches in the UP position, these methods are recommended for troubleshooting.

Method 1

1.If the Module is a CM-100, set the Auto-Config jumper (J6) to SW so that switches are being read.

2.Set the Link mode to Standard (SW2 – Down) on both Media Converters. Leave all other switches in the Up position.

3.Connect the near end device to the copper connection. The LKC LED indicates good copper connection. If the LKC LED is not lit, then check the copper cable and the attached device. Repeat for the far end Media Converter.

4.Connect the fiber cable to both converters. The LKF LED indicates good fiber connection. If no LKF LED then check the fiber cabling.

5.Return Media Converter to the desired configuration.
