CONTROL SOFTWARE FOR SCSI EXTENDER AND SWITCHES
Link Test FAILED. This message appears at the top of the Link Test Statistics
window on the Extender after a Link Test has been unsuccessfully performed.
Common reasons for the message:
• The Link Test is performed when the Link Active light is not on, indicating
that the units are not properly communicating. This following message box
will appear if a Link Test is initiated while the Link Active light is off:
Figure 11-2. Link not active screen.
Selecting Yes will continue with the Link Test and will create a failed status.
• Fiber or Coax connection between the two Extenders is not functioning
properly or has been disconnected.
• A failed Link Test may indicate a bad connection between the two Extenders.
Make sure the fiber cable lengths or coax cable lengths are within the
specifications of the unit.
• The remote Extender may have power turned off.
