Note
:
If the remote media converter is not a Perle S-10G then the remote
media converter will need to be put into loopback mode. See the
documentation that came with that media converter.
Sequence of Events
1. The Local S-10G sends the Remote S-10G a signal to go into
loopback mode.
2. The Remote S-10G media converter turns on loopback mode.
3. Built In Test data is sent from the Local S-10G media
converter to the Remote S-10G media converter.
4. The Remote S-10G media converter loops the received data
back to the Local S-10G media converter.
5. Any test errors detected are displayed with the LEDs on the
front of the Local S-10G media converter.
6. The Built in Link Tests continue to run until Switch 1 on the
Local S-10G media converter is set to Data mode.
