other device. Verify that a link exists by checking that the port Receive
LED is ON (flashing amber, blinking green, or solid green). Refer to
Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs. If the Receive LED is OFF and the
Transmit LED is not blinking amber, perform the following steps
until it is ON:
a. Check that the device at the other end of the link has power turned
on and is Gigabit Ethernet compatible.
b. Verify proper crossover of fiber strands between the port on the
VHSIM-G6 and the fiber optic device at the other end of the fiber
optic link segment.
c. Verify that the fiber connection meets the specifications outlined
in Appendix B for the installed GPIM.
To remove the SC connector from the GPIM, carefully pull the connector
out of the port. It may need to be wiggled gently to release the latching
keys.
