Verifying the Installation
This procedure is used to verify the installation of the media converter. It
explains how to determine whether or not the fiber optic port on the SFP
module and the twisted pair port have established links to their network
devices. This procedure assumes the following:
❒
The media converter is powered on.
❒
The network cables are connected to the ports on the media converter
and to the local and remote devices.
❒
The local and remote network devices are powered on.
To verify the installation of the media converter:
1. Place the media converter in the Link Test operating mode by pressing
the Mode button until the LT LED is on.
2. Observe the Link LEDs for the twisted pair port and the fiber optic port
on the media converter.
❒
If the Link LEDs for both of the ports are on, the ports have
established links with their network devices and may already be
forwarding network traffic. You can either leave the unit in the Link
Test mode or, by pressing the Mode button again, change it to the
MissingLink mode or the Smart MissingLink mode. The
MissingLink mode is active when the ML LED is on and the Smart
MissingLink mode is active when the SML LED is on.
❒
If the Link LED for a port is off, the port is unable to establish a link
to its network device. For suggestions on how to resolve the
problem, go to Chapter 3, Troubleshooting on page 47.
