Troubleshooting

 

Use the LEDs to identify possible problems and then take corrective action.

 

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSES AND REMEDIES

 

 

 

 

 

 

The PWR LED

Make sure you are using the supplied power adaptor and that it is

 

is off

plugged in to an appropriate power source. Check that the power

 

 

 

source is turned on.

 

 

 

If the problem persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this

 

 

 

case, you should contact your local vendor.

 

 

The 100M LED

Check if the media converter has a connection with a 10Mbps

 

 

is off

Ethernet device.

 

 

 

Check the Ethernet cable connection between the media converter

 

 

 

and the Ethernet device. The distance between them should not be

 

 

 

more than 100 meters

 

 

 

Check for faulty Ethernet cables. If the connected Ethernet device

 

 

 

does not support auto-negotiation, turn on DIP switch 2 and 3 to

 

 

 

force a 100 Mbps full-duplex link.

 

 

 

If Link Fault Signaling is enabled (DIP switch 5 is on), then check if

 

 

 

the fiber link is down (thereby forcing the Ethernet link down).

 

 

The LNK/ACT

Check the Ethernet cable connection between the media converter

 

 

(Ethernet) LED is

and the Ethernet device. The distance between them should not be

 

 

off

more than 100 meters

 

 

 

Check for faulty Ethernet cables.

 

 

 

Check that the Ethernet device supports auto-negotiation at half/full

 

 

 

duplex and 100MBps speed.

 

 

 

If Link Fault Signaling is enabled (DIP switch 5 is on), then check if

 

 

 

the fiber link is down (thereby forcing the Ethernet link down).

 

 

The FDX/COL

The RJ-45 port is operating in half-duplex mode or the Ethernet link

 

 

(Ethernet) LED is

is down. See above for possible causes and remedies.
