FAULT ISOLATION and CORRECTION
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 P(o)W(e)R LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO
• Is the media converter inserted properly into the chassis?
• Is the power cord properly installed in the chassis and at the
external power source?
• Does the external power source provide power?
• Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312.
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the LKC LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO
• Check twisted-pair cables for proper connection.
• Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312.
YES
• Proceed to step 3.
3. Is the LKF LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO
• Check fiber cables for proper connection.
• Verify that TX and RX cables on media converter are connected to
RX and TX ports, respectively, on other device.
• Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312.
YES
• Proceed to step 4.
4. Is the RXC LED on the media converter flashing?
NO
• If there is NO ACTIVITY on the 100BASE-TX port, proceed to step 5.
• If there is ACTIVITY on the 100BASE-TX port, disconnect and
reconnect the 100BASE-TX cable to restart the initialization process.
• Restart the workstation to restart the initialization process.
• Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312.
YES
• Proceed to step 5.
5. Is the RXF LED on the media converter flashing?
NO
• If there is NO ACTIVITY on the 100BASE-FX port, continue below
• If there is ACTIVITY on the 100BASE-FX port, disconnect and
reconnect the fiber cable to restart the initialization process.
• Restart the workstation to restart the initialization process.
• Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312.
YES
• Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312.
Install Slide-In-Module in PointSystem™Chassis
CAUTION: Any Slide-in-Module installation slot in which a Media Converter
Slide-in-Module is NOT installed MUST have a protective plate instead.
Failure to observe this caution will void Class A and/or Class B compliance.
NOTE: Install Media Converter Slide-in-Modules in any slot, in any order.
1. Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation slot,
aligning Media Converter Slide-in-Module with installation guides.
NOTE: Ensure that Slide-in-Module is firmly seated against backplane.
2. Secure Slide-in-Module by securing panel fastener screw (attached to
Slide-in-Module) to chassis front.
3. Install protective plate at ANY Slide-in-Module installation slot in which
a Media Converter Slide-in-Module is not installed by securing attached
protective plate panel fastener screw to chassis front.
Install Cable
COPPER
NOTE: AutoCross™allows the use of either straight-through or crossover
configuration cables. (See page 7 for discussion of AutoCross
™
feature.
See page 11 for straight-through/crossover cable diagram.)
1. Locate or build 100BASE-TX-compliant cables with male RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect RJ-45 connector at one end of cable to media converter
RJ-45 port connector.
3. Connect RJ-45 connector at other end of cable to 100BASE-TX-
compliant device RJ-45 port connector.
FIBER
1. Locate or build 100BASE-FX-compliant fiber cable with male two-
stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect cable with connector installed at TX location on media
converter to RX location on attached device.
3. Connect cable with connector installed at RX location on media
converter to TX location on attached device..
