IX - Troubleshooting
•
If two iMcV-FiberLinX-II Host/Remote units are not communicating
properly, make sure one is a Host and the other is a Remote. If the second
unit is not configured as a Remote, it will be recognized as a Standalone
unit and the Host and Remote units will not communicate with each other
properly. Setting the OPTICS (or UPLINK) port management DIP switch #3
to the ON position on both modules will allow you to perform a simple ping
test. This is possible only if pinging from the computer through the optics
uplink port, which is highly unusual. You must enable the EXT or data
switch and connect to the computer to ping either device.
•
If you cannot establish a link on a twisted pair port, make sure the cable is
in working order; if not, replace the cable (iMcV-FiberLinX-II includes
AutoCross; you should detect a link regardless of the Cat5 cable type).
•
If you cannot establish a fiber link, make sure that the fiber transceivers on
iMcV-FiberLinX-II are not over/under driving the fiber receivers. For fiber
specifications, please visit www.imcnetworks.com/support/fpblookup.cfm.
Make sure the fiber mode and wavelength on both iMcV-FiberLinX-II units
match (i.e., both are 1310 nm single-mode fiber).
•
Make sure the port speeds on iMcV-FiberLinX-II match those on the end
devices connected to iMcV-FiberLinX-II. IMC Networks recommends
configuring all connected devices to Autonegotiation, or if using Force
mode, ensure speed and duplex settings match.
•
If using single-strand fiber, make sure the pair of devices is compatible
single-strand fiber devices. For example, an iMcV-FiberLinX-II TX/SSFX-
SM1310-SC which transmits 1310 nm and receives 1550 nm must be
connected to a device which transmits 1550 nm and receives 1310 nm.
•
If using an iMcV-FiberLinX-II unit with an SFP port and it is not functioning
properly or at all, make sure that the installed SFP module is the correct
speed (100 Mbps).
•
When using the FiberAlert feature, make sure that FiberAlert is enabled on
only one unit when connecting two iMcV-FiberLinX-II units, or when
connecting an iMcV-FiberLinX-II to another IMC Networks media converter
which includes the FiberAlert feature.
•
If management is not functioning properly, make sure that the DIP switch
settings are accurate for the port you want to manage.
