Fiber Continuity Test
Fiber Continuity Tests
When there is a problem communicating over a particular fiber link and both the Switch and the N_Port adapter pass their respective tests, check the continuity of the fiber optic cables.
Step 1
If possible, swap another set of fiber optic cables into the faulty link.
Did this correct the problem?
Yes  | Replace the faulty cable.  | 
No  | Contact your service representative.  | 
Step 2
If it is not possible to swap a different set of fiber cables into the faulty link, disconnect the SC connectors from both ends of the faulty link and shine a flashlight through each fiber (one fiber at a time).
Did light shine through each fiber?
No  | Replace the faulty cable.  | 
Yes  | Contact Ancor Customer Service or your authorized maintenance provider.  |
