Troubleshooting
If the BCI Mini-12GSDI units do not operate properly
after installation, check for possible cable breaks, loose
connections, and incorrect cable connections. If a problem
exists on the fiber link, please check your fiber connectors for
improperly cleaned fiber cables and connectors. If problems
persist that may be fiber related, contact BCI at 1-800-214-
0222 for further assistance.
For electrical problems, perform the following troubleshooting
procedures:
1. If the POWER indicator is OFF, check for the
following:
a. The line cord is plugged into the unit and your outlet
has power.
b. The Mini-12GSDI unit is powered on.
2. If the POWER indicator is ON, but the Optical Level
indicator is OFF, check for the following:
a. Make sure the appropriate (Single-mode or Multi-mode)
fibers are being used.
b. Fiber and fiber connectors are not broken. Ensure
that the optical loss does not exceed the specified
optical
power
attenuation
(see
Section
5.0
Specifications for the optical power budget).
c. For each unit, the transmit (TX) fiber is connected to
the
other
unit’s
receiver
(RX).
