FAULT ISOLATION and CORRECTION

If the multi-port media converter fails, isolate and correct the fault by determining the answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:

1.Is the POWER LED on the multi-port media converter illuminated?

NO

Is the power cord properly installed in the media converter and in the grounded AC outlet?

Does the grounded AC outlet provide power?

Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312/(800) 526-9267.

YES

Proceed to step 2.

2.Are any of the 100BASE-TX TX LINK LEDs illuminated?

YES

Check twisted pair cables for proper connection.

Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312/(800) 526-9267.

NO

Proceed to step 3.

3.Are any of the 100BASE-FX FBR LINK LEDs illuminated?

YES

Check fiber cables for proper connection.

Verify that TX and RX cables on media converter are connected to RX and TX ports, respectively, on other device.

Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312/(800) 526-9267.

NO

Proceed to step 4.

4.Are any of the 100BASE-FX ACT (Activity) LEDs illuminated?

NO

Disconnect and reconnect the 100BASE-FX cable to restart the initialization process.

Restart the workstation to restart the initialization process.

Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312/(800) 526-9267.

YES

Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312/(800) 526-9267.

Install Cable

NOTE: Refer to page 10 for cable and connector specifications.

COPPER

NOTE: KEEP TWISTED PAIR RUNS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE.

1.Locate or build 100BASE-TX compliant cables with male RJ-45 plug connectors at both ends.

2.Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of cable to media converter port RJ-45 jack connector.

3.Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to 100BASE-TX device RJ-45 jack connector.

FIBER

1.Locate or build 100BASE-FX compliant fiber cable with male two- stranded TX to RX connectors at both ends.

2.Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at one end of cable to TX and RX female connectors, respectively, on media converter port.

3.Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at other end of cable to RX and TX connectors, respectively, on 802.3 compliant fiber device.

Connect to Power

1.At multi-port media converter back, locate male power receptacle.

2.Plug female media converter end of power cord into multi-port media converter power receptacle.

3.Plug male outlet end of power cord into correct voltage, properly grounded, AC rack or wall power source.

4.Verify that multi-port media converter is powered by observing illuminated power and status LED(s).
