Troubleshooting

Follow the guidelines below to test and troubleshoot the installation in the
event a problem occurs.

If the PWR LED is OFF, do the following:

ˆ

If the media converter is installed on a desktop, check to be sure that
the power adapter is securely connected to a power outlet and that
the power adapter cable is securely connected to the back of the
converter.

ˆ

Verify that the power outlet has power by connecting another device
to it.

ˆ

Try using another power adapter.

If the LINK LED for the twisted pair port is OFF, do the following:

ˆ

Check that the end-node connected to the port is powered ON and is
operating properly.

ˆ

Check that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the twisted
pair port on the media converter and on the end-node.

ˆ

Check to be sure that the end-node connected to the AT-MC1008
Series converter is configured for Auto-Negotiation and will operate at
1000 Mbps and full duplex.

ˆ

Make sure that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters
(328 feet) and that you are using a Category 5 or better cable.

ˆ

Use the MODE button to enable Link Test. This will disable
MissingLink and eliminate a fiber fault as the cause of link failure on
the twisted pair port.
