OPERATION
Using Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor media converter operation in the network.
P(o)W(e)R
Steady LED indicates connection to
external AC power.
RXF
(Fiber receive) Flashing LED indicates
reception of data on fiber link.
LKF
(Fiber link) Steady LED indicates fiber
link connection.
RXC
(Copper receive) Flashing LED indicates reception of data on
copper link.
LKC
(Copper link) Steady LED indicates copper link connection.
Using SNMP*
Use SNMP at an attached terminal or at a remote location to:
•
Monitor media converter by monitoring:
Media Converter Power
Copper Link Status
Copper Receive Status
Twisted-pair Copper Cable Length
Fiber Link Status
Fiber Receive Status
Master/Slave Status
Hardware Switch settings
Fault Conditiion
Receive Error Count
•
Enter network commands that:
Enable/disable Full/Half-duplex Advertisement
Enable/disable LPT
Enable/disable Pause
*See the on-line documentation that comes with TRANSITION Networks
FocalPoint

software for applicable commands and usage.
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.
•
Check twisted-pair cables for connection of all four pairs.
•
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 1000BASE-TX port, proceed to step 5.
•
If there is ACTIVITY on the 1000BASE-TX port, disconnect and
reconnect the 1000BASE-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 1000BASE-SX/LX port, continue
below
•
If there is ACTIVITY on the 1000BASE-SX/LX 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
