3.4.6

Refer to the following table that gives a list of commonly encountered problems and suggested solutions. 
 

Fault 

Possible Causes 

Solution 

Power LED does not illuminate. 

Power is not connected to the PSU. 
 
 
Module is not fully inserted. 

Connect mains power to the rear of the PSU. 
Check fuses of power leads. 
 
Check  module  is  properly  aligned  and  handle 
pawls are fully engaged. 
 
Check there are no obstructions to the rear such 
as optical cable protective covers. 

Difficulty inserting module. 
 

Incorrect alignment. 
 
 
Incorrect module slot. 

Check  that  the  module  is  correctly  fitted  in  card 
guides. 
 
Check that module is in correct slot. 
Slots 1-13 for 5HP modules. 

Alarm LED in ALARM state. 

Laser degraded. 
 
Low optical level at receiver. 

Return to local 

ViaLite Communications

 office. 

 
Check optical link for breaks / kinks. 
Check all optical connectors are clean. 

No light of alarm LED. 
 

LED display mode set to data and no passing 
signal. 

Change to alarm mode, feed correct signal. 

No data signal. 
 

Incorrect connection. 
 
Low RLL. 
 
Low/no optical transmitter power. 

Check pin-out and connection cable. 
 
Check if alarm LED is red. 
 
Check if alarm LED is red. 

 
The 

ViaLiteHD

 range of modules is engineered and calibrated for optimum performance and accuracy before dispatch. 

 
In the event of any problems or queries arising with the equipment, please contact

Gigabit Ethernet Fibre Optic Link 

3.5

This section covers the following 

ViaLiteHD

 support module: 

 

Gigabit Ethernet Fibre Optic Link (referred as GE FOL hereafter) 

The 

ViaLiteHD

 GE FOL unit provides the interface between 1000BASE-T (1Gb Ethernet over copper twisted pair) and 1000BASE-X (1Gb 

Ethernet over fibre).  
The 

ViaLiteHD

 GE FOL offers the following key advantages:  

 

Small 5HP form factor of plug-in type 

 

Compatibility with 

ViaLiteHD

 

chassis

 

 

In addition to the 5HP plug-in type, Yellow link and Blue Link are also available (see picture below)

 

 

 

 
The 

ViaLiteHD

 GE FOL options:  

 

Wavelength: single mode 1310nm, 1550nm, CWDM, DWDM 

 

Range: 10km, 40km and 70km SM 

 

Plug-in, Yellow link and Blue Link
