TROUBLESHOOTING SUGGESTIONS
If a Media Converter fails, ask the following questions:
1. Is the Power LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO
•
Is the power adapter the proper voltage and cycle frequency
for the AC outlet? NOTE: Refer to the “Power Supply
Requirements” on the back page.
•
Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter
and in the outlet?
•
Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312/(800) LAN-
WANS.
YES
•
Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the UTP/STP LED illuminated?
NO
•
Check twisted pair cables for proper connection.
•
Check RJ-11 connector for correct twisted pair cable
configuration.
•
Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312/(800) LAN-
WANS.
YES
•
Proceed to step 3.
3. Is the Fiber LED illuminated?
NO
•
Check fiber cables for proper connection.
•
Verify that TX and RX cables on media converter are
connected to RX and TX ports, respectively, on other device.
•
Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312/(800) LAN-
WANS.
YES
•
Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312/(800) LAN-
WANS.
•
Connect one end of first fiber cable to AR-
CF-01 media converter TX connector.
•
Connect other end of that fiber cable to second AR-CF-01
media converter RX connector.
•
Connect one end of second fiber cable to AR-CF-01 media
converter RX connector.
•
Connect other end of that fiber cable to AR-CF-01 media
converter TX connector.
3. Connect AR-CF-01 media converter near terminal device to terminal
device.
Twisted-pair:
NOTE: Install TRANSITION Networks balun part number: B-4554
between RJ-11 cable and terminal device coax connector.
•
Install balun at terminal device coax connector.
•
Connect male RJ-11 plug connector on one end of cable to
female RJ-11 connector marked “UTP/STP” on media
converter.
•
Connect male RJ-11 plug connector at other end of cable to
balun on terminal device.
Coaxial:
•
Connect male coax connector on one end of cable to female
RJ-11 connector marked “Coax” on media converter.
•
Connect male coax connector at other end of cable to female
coax connector on terminal device.
4. Connect AR-CF-01 media converter(s) to power.
•
Locate correct power supply adapter for site installation. (See
back page.)
•
Connect media converter power connector at end of power
supply adapter cord to AR-CF-01 media converter power
receptacle.
•
Connect 2-prong or 3-prong external power connector on
other end of power supply adapter cord to external AC power.
