FAULT ISOLATION and CORRECTION
If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the fault by determining the
answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:
1. Is the P(o)W(e)R LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO
•Is the media converter inserted properly into the chassis?
•Is the power cord properly installed in the chassis and in the
grounded AC outlet?
•Does the grounded AC outlet provide power?
•Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312.
YES
•Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the LKC LED illuminated?
NO
•Check twisted pair cables for proper connection.
•Contact Technical Support: (800) 260-1312.
YES
•Proceed to step 3.
3. Is the LKF 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.
YES
•Proceed to step 4.
4. Is the 100 LED illuminated?
NO
•The media converter has selected 10 Mb/s operation. If this is NOT
the correct speed, disconnect and reconnect the 10/100BASE-TX
cable to restart the initialization process.
•Proceed to step 5.
YES - Slowly flashing
•The media converter is selecting between 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s
speed OR one or both of the links is down. IF PERSISTENT,
disconnect and reconnect either cable to restart the initialization
process.
•Proceed to step 5.
YES
•The media converter has selected 100 Mb/s operation. If this is NOT
the correct speed, disconnect and reconnect the 10/100BASE-TX
cable to restart the initialization process.
•Proceed to step 5.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when setting switch and when installing Media Converter Slide-in-
Module in the Media Conversion Center. Failure to observe this caution could
result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the Media Converter Slide-in-
Module.
Install Slide-In-Module in PointSystem™Chassis
CAUTION: Any Slide-in-Module installation slot in which a Media Converter
Slide-in-Module is NOT installed MUST have a protective plate instead.
Failure to observe this caution will void Class A and/or Class B compliance.
NOTE: Install Media Converter Slide-in-Modules in any slot, in any order.
1. Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation slot,
aligning Media Converter Slide-in-Module with installation guides.
NOTE: Ensure that Slide-in-Module is firmly seated against backplane.
2. Secure Slide-in-Module by securing panel fastener screw (attached to
Slide-in-Module) to chassis front.
3. Install protective plate at ANY Slide-in-Module installation slot in which
a Media Converter Slide-in-Module is not installed by securing attached
protective plate panel fastener screw to chassis front.
Install Cable
COPPER
NOTE: AutoCross™allows the use of either straight-through or crossover
configuration cables.
1. Locate or build 10BASE-T-compliant or 100BASE-TX-compliant
cables with male RJ-45 connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect RJ-45 connector at one end of cable to media converter
RJ-45 port connector.
3. Connect RJ-45 connector at other end of cable to 10BASE-T-
compliant or 100BASE-TX-compliant device RJ-45 port connector.
FIBER
1. Locate or build 10/100BASE-SX-compliant fiber cable with male
two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at one end of cable to
TX and RX female connectors, respectively, on media converter.
3. Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at other end of cable to
10/100BASE-SX-compliant device RX and TX connectors, respectively.
