G
Check that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port
on the switch and to the port on the end node.
G
Make sure that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters
(328 feet).
G
Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair
cable: Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps operation and Category 5
or Category 5E for 100 Mbps operation.
G
Make sure that the operating parameters of the port on the switch
are compatible with the end node to which the port is connected.
This will require using the switch’s management software. For
instructions, refer to the AT-S39 Management Software User’s
Guide.
If you installed a GBIC module with a 1000BASE fiber optic port, verify

G
Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered ON and
is operating properly.
G
Check that the fiber optic cable is securely connected to the port
on the switch and to the port on the end node.
G
Make sure that the cable connected to the fiber optic receiver port
on the GBIC module is connected to the transmitter port on the
remote end node and that the fiber optic transmitter port on the
GBIC module is connected to the receiver port on the end node.
G
Make sure that the fiber optic cable does not exceed the allowed
maximum distance. For GBIC maximum distances, refer to the
GBIC Installation Guide.
G
Verify that you are using the appropriate type of fiber optic cable.
For cable specifications, refer to the GBIC Installation Guide.
G
Use a fiber optic tester to test the attenuation on the cable to
determine if the strength of the fiber optic signal falls below
acceptable limits. For specifications on the transceiver in the GBIC
module, refer to the GBIC Installation Guide.
