LED Operation
Compact Media Converter TP/FO
features four diagnostic LEDs. They
are:
FO RCV
Blinks yellow when module is receiving data.
TP LNK
Glows green when a twisted pair link is established.
FA
Glows green when FiberAlert is enabled.
FO LNK
Glows green when a fiber link is established.
The LED functions for Compact Media Converter TP/BNC are as
follows:
TP RCV
Flickers yellow when twisted pair port is receiving data.
TP LNK
Glows green when a twisted pair link is established.
BNC COL
Flickers red in normal operation indicating normal
collisions are being detected on the BNC segment.
BNC RCV
Flickers yellow when BNC port is receiving data.
(Note: On a -10 Compact Media Converter TP/BNC, the TP RCV, TP LNK and the
BNC RCV LEDs flicker at a rate proportional to rate that data being passed on the
ports. Under low traffic conditions, the LEDs flicker visibly, while they appear to
glow under high traffic conditions.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines
Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of dirt
or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good system
performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.
1) Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a reputable
supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems in an installation.
2) Dust caps are installed by the manufacturer to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These
protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable to the
device. Assure that the fiber is properly terminated, polished and free of any dust or dirt, and
that the location is as free from dust and dirt as possible.
3) Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box so that when
reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.
4) Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective dust caps.
5) If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between blasting with clean, dry,
compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to your add-in modules. Always observe the following precautions
when installing or handling an add-in module or any board assembly.
1) Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until you’re ready to install it.
2) Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component. If you do not have a wrist strap,
maintain grounded contact with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
WARNING!
Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are extremely susceptible to electrostatic discharge
damage. Do not handle these components directly unless you are a qualified service technician and use tools and
techniques that conform to accepted industry practices.
3) Hold boards by the edges only; do not touch the electronic components or gold connectors.
4) After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD pad or in a proper
ESD bag. Do not slide the board over any surface.
