About the LED Indicators

The PSE-McBasic features four diagnostic LEDs. The diagram below

shows the location of the LEDs.

The LED functions are:

LNK/ACT Glows amber when a twisted pair link is established and

blinks when activity is detected on the UTP port.

ZERO CRNT Glows red when no device is connected to the PSE-

McBasic or when the device is NOT a valid PD. The
LED is off when the PSE-McBasic detects a valid PD.

OVER CRNT Glows red when an overcurrent condition lasts for more

than 60 ms after power up and/or when an over tem­perature condition occurs.

PWR FAIL Glows red when an overcurrent or internal fault is

detected within the PSE-McBasic PoE circuit.

PWR Glows green when the PSE-McBasic is powered up.
AN Glows green when Auto-Negotiation is enabled.
TX LL Glows green when TX LinkLoss is enabled.
FX LL Glows green when FX LinkLoss is enabled.
FA Glows green when FiberAlert is enabled and blinks when

a FiberAlert situation occurs (i.e. the loss of one strand of
fiber).

4W Glows green when Powered Device consumes 3.84

watts to 4 watts of power (CLASS1 PD).

7W Glows green when Powered Device consumes 6.49

watts to 7 watts of power (CLASS2 PD).

15.4W Glows green when Powered Device consumes 12.95
watts to 15.4 watts of power (CLASS0 PD).

FX LNK/ACT Glows green when a link is established on the fiber port

and blinks when activity is detected on the port.

NOTE

FiberAlert will not function when single-strand fiber is connected.

Configuring the PSE-McBasic

The PSE-McBasic features an 8 DIP switches, set after
installation. Access these through a cut-out in the bot­tom of the unit. After configuring the DIP switches,
power cycle the PSE McBasic for the changes to take
effect. Default settings for the following features are
shown to the right.

• Pulse (Pulsing FiberAlert)

• PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment)

• TX LL (TX LinkLoss)

• FX LL (FX LinkLoss)

• Auto-Negotiation

• FA (FiberAlert)

Some switches are reserved for future development.

About FiberAlert and LinkLoss

The PSE-McBasic comes with the following troubleshooting features:

• FX LinkLoss (LinkLoss over a Fiber cable)

• TX LinkLoss (LinkLoss over a Twisted Pair cable)

• FiberAlert (including Pulsing FiberAlert)

LinkLoss and FiberAlert are advanced troubleshooting features that can
help locate "silent failures" on a network. Users should understand how
FiberAlert and LinkLoss work, and how they will act in a network environ­ment, before attempting to install the PSE-McBasic.

NOTE

Without understanding LinkLoss and FiberAlert, the PSE-McBasic could appear
flawed or even malfunctioning.

What is FiberAlert?

FiberAlert is a troubleshooting feature that minimizes the problems asso­ciated with the loss of one strand of fiber. If a strand is unavailable, the PSE­McBasic notes the lost link and will stop transmitting data and the link sig­nal until a signal or link pulse is received. The result is that the link LED on
BOTH sides of the fiber connection will go out indicating a fault somewhere
in the fiber loop. Using
FiberAlert, a local site
administrator is notified
of a fault and can
quickly determine the
location of a cable
fault.

Using FiberAlert and LinkLoss

The following table provides an overview of the troubleshooting features,
their functionality and the recommended settings for a pair of media con­verters in a typical central/main site to remote site application:
