OPERATION

After installation, the transceiver should function without operator intervention.

Status LEDs

Use the status LEDs to monitor transceiver operation in the network.

Jabber :

Illuminated red LED indicates that unit is disabled.

Collision:

Flashing or illuminated red LED

 

 

indicates collisions.

FAULT ISOLATION and CORRECTION

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

1.

Is the power LED on the transceiver illuminated?

 

NO

 

• Verify that the transceiver is installed properly in the AUI port and

 

that the device is powered ON.

 

• Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312 or at (800) LAN-

 

WANS.

Transmit:

Flashing or illuminated green LED

 

indicates packet(s) are being

 

transmitted.

Receive:

Flashing or illuminated green LED

 

indicates packet(s) are being received.

Link

Illuminated green LED indicates the

 

unit is receiving link pulses from a

 

compliant device.

Power:

Illuminated green LED indicates

 

connection to external power.

Proceed to step 2.

2.Is the Link LED illuminated?

NO

Check the fiber cables for proper connection. (If possible, try a different pair of fiber cables.)

Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312 or at (800) LAN- WANS.

YES

Proceed to step 3.

3.Is the fiber cable connected properly?

NO

Verify that TX and RX cables on transceiver are connected to RX and TX ports, respectively, on each device.

Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312 or at (800) LAN- WANS.

YES

Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312 or at (800) LAN- WANS.
