Troubleshooting
General
Ensure power is supplied to the media converter – use of the
Perle supplied power adapter is highly recommended.
Ensure that the SFP+ or XFP module is inserted into the
transceiver port.
Ensure that the copper cabling (RJ-45) meets Ethernet copper
cabling requirements. See
Copper Cable Requirements
in
this guide.
No connectivity
If unable to get full connectivity with all DIP switches in the UP
position, these procedures can be used for troubleshooting.
Built In Link Test
Choose one side of the link to generate the test data (master side)
and one side to receive and analyse the test data (slave side).
1. Set Switch 1 down and Switch 2 to the Up position (Built In
Link Test) on the master side.
2. The master side automatically sends test data to the slave
side.
3. The slave side analyses the received test data and sends its
own test data plus a diagnostic code back to the master side.
4. If the PWR LED on the master side blinks red then this
connection may require further testing.
5. If the PWR LED on the master side blinks green after several
seconds of testing, then the SPF+/XFP link is passing the Built
In Link Test.
6. The Built in Link Test continues to run until Switch 1 on the
master side is set back to Data mode.
