Use only dedicated wire pairs for the active pins:

(e.g., blue/white & white/blue, orange/white & white/orange, etc.)

Do not use flat or silver satin wire.

Troubleshooting

If the transceiver fails, determine the answer to the following questions:

1.Is the status LED flashing?

NO

Verify that the AUI device is turned ON.

Verify that the AUI cable from the transceiver to the AUI device port is installed properly.

Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

Go to step 2.

2.Is the RX LED flashing (receiving data)?

NO

Is the LED ON Solid?

Check twisted pair cable for proper connection

Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.

Yes

Go to step 3.

3.Is the TX LED ON?

NO

Check twisted pair cable for proper connection.

Is the LED flashing (transmitting data)?

Restart the hardware to force re-initialization.
