Troubleshooting

If the 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 PWR LED on the media converter illuminated?

NO

Is the power cord properly installed in the media converter and at the external power source?

Does the external power source provide power?

Contact Technical Support. US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312,

International: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

Proceed to step 2.

2.Is the TX LNK/ACT LED on the media converter illuminated OR flashing?

NO

Check twisted-pair 10Base-T cables for proper connection.

Verify that 10Base-T cable is correct (straight-through or crossover) configuration for site installation (see page 4).

Contact Technical Support. US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312,

International: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

Proceed to step 3.

3.Is the TX LNK/ACT LED on the media converter illuminated BUT NOT flashing?

NO

Disconnect and reconnect the cable to restart the initialization process.

Restart the workstation to restart the initialization process.

Contact Technical Support. US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312,

International: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

Proceed to step 4.

4.Is the BNC ACT LED on the media converter illuminated?

NO

Check 10Base-2 cables for proper connection.

Verify that 10Base-2 cable connections on media converter and on attached device are terminated properly.

Disconnect and reconnect the cable to restart the initialization process.

Restart the workstation to restart the initialization process.
