AT-MC104 Series Installation Guide Status LEDs Table 2 defines the system LEDs. Table 2 Status LEDs LED State Color Description LNK ON Green Link is established on the port. ACT ON Green Data is being received on the port. PWR ON Green Power is applied. M/L ON ON Green The MissingLink feature is activated on the media converter. OFF The MissingLink feature is disabled and the unit is operating in the link test mode.
MissingLink. The MissingLink feature activates the fiber optic ports on the media converter to pass the “Link” status of their connections to each other. When the media converter detects a problem with one of the ports, such as the loss of connection to a node, the media converter shuts down the connection to the other port, thus notifying the node that the connection has been lost.

AT-MC104 Series Installation Guide Verifying the Package Contents Make sure the following items are included in your media converter package. If any of the following items are missing or damaged, contact your sales representative.
Installing the Media Converter The following procedure explains how to install the media converter. If you are building a back-to-back installation, please review the following. See Figure 3 for an illustration of a back-to-back-media converter configuration. ❑ During installation, setup, and testing of back-to-back media converters, make sure each media converters Link Test/MissingLink button is in the LNK TST (OUT) position.
AT-MC104 Series Installation Guide 7. Remove the dust covers from the fiber optic connectors. 8. Connect the fiber optic cables to their respective ports on the media converter. 9. Connect the other end of the fiber cable to the desired end station. Note End stations used with the media converter must operate with the same duplex mode (either both full-duplex or both half-duplex). Go to “Testing the Installation” on page 11 for instructions on how to test the unit.
4. Check the two LNK LEDs. They should be green, indicating that the media converter is receiving a signal from the nodes connected to the ports. If a LNK LED is not green, check the following: — The node connected to the port is powered ON. — The fiber optic cable is securely connected to the fiber optic port. — The appropriate type of fiber optic cable for the port is being used. Refer to Table 3 through Table 5 for cable specifications.
