A2 Ethernet Troubleshooting
If the Link LED fails to illuminate, this is an indication that there is trouble with the
connection and communication will not proceed without solving the problem. If a
copper connection is used between the M650 and the hub/switch, check the following
items:
1.
Verify that the connectors are fully engaged on each end.
2. Verify that the cable used is a "straight-through" cable connected to a "normal"
port. Alternatively, a "cross-over" cable
could
be connected to an "uplink" port
(this could later cause confusion and is not recommended).
3. Verify that both the M650 and hub/switch are powered.
4. Try another cable.
5. If a long CAT-5 cable is used, verify that is has never been kinked. Kinking can
cause internal discontinuities in the cable.
6. If a copper connection is used to an external fiber converter:
7. Verify that the LINK LED on the converter is lit on at least one side. Both sides
need to be lit for a valid connection to be established.
8. At least one brand of converters will not output an optical idle unless it receives a
forced 10 Mb copper link pulse (for some reason, auto-negotiation pulses
confuse it). Some hubs/switches will not output an optical idle unless they
receive an optical idle. This then inhibits the converter from outputting a copper
link pulse enabling the M650 to link. In this condition, no device completes the
link.
9. Verify that the fiber converter(s) and/or fiber hub/switch are matched for the
same type of fiber connections. A 100BASE-FX port will NEVER inter-operate
with the 10BASE-FL port (fiber auto-negotiation does not exist).
10. On the fiber connection, try swapping the transmit and receive connector
on one
end
.
11. Verify that the fiber converter(s) and/or fiber hub/switch use the proper optical
wavelength (100BASE-FX should be 1300nm).
