No connectivity
If unable to get full connectivity with all DIP switches in the UP
position, this procedure is recommended for troubleshooting.
Method 1
1) Set the Link mode to Standard (SW2 – Down) on both media
converters. Leave all other switches in the Up position.
2) Connect the near end device to the copper connection. The
LKC LED indicates good copper connection. If the LKC LED is
not lit, then check the copper cable and the attached device.
3) Repeat for the far end media converter.
4) Connect the fiber cable to both media converters. The LKF
LED indicates good fiber connection. If no LKF LED then
check the fiber cabling.
5) Return units to desired configuration.
Method 2:
The fiber connection can also be verified by configuring the
remote media converter for loopback mode. The LKF LEDs on
both media converters should be lit. Data should pass through the
local converter, over the fiber connection to the remote media
converter. At the remote media converter, the data will be looped
back and passed through the fiber, back to the local converter and
passed to the copper link.
