IMC Networks SP50 operation manual Installation Troubleshooting

Installation Troubleshooting

•During installation, first test your fiber and twisted pair connections with all troubleshooting features disabled. Then enable these features, if desired, just before final installation. This will reduce the interference from features upon testing.

•To test McBasic TP/FO by itself, you must have an appropriate fiber patch cable. First, connect McBasic TP/FO to the twisted pair device with a twisted pair cable and establish valid link. Next, loop a single strand of fiber from the transmit port to the receive port of your media converter. Finally, verify that you have both twisted pair and fiber link on your media converter.

•Make sure that you are using the appropriate twisted pair cable or have the crossover/pass-through button on the media converter set correctly.

•Interconnection between the Next Generation of McBasic TP/FOs, iMcV-PIM TP/FOs and McPIM TP/FOs and their Legacy counterparts is possible. Where possible, however, use Legacy with Legacy product, or Next Generation with Next Generation product.

•When connecting the fiber port of a McBasic TP/FO to a 100 Mbps fiber port of the link partner or another media converter, an unlabeled LED located at the top of the fiber LED stack will glow amber, indicating the presence of a configuration fault. To correct this fault, you must configure the end-device to force 10 Mbps mode.
