Troubleshooting

Here are suggestions on how to troubleshoot the AT-PC2002/POE Media
Converter.

Problem 1: The PWR LED is off.

Solutions: The media converter is not receiving power or the power
supply in the unit has failed. Try the following:

Verify that the power cord is firmly connected to the media converter
and to the power source.

Verify that the power source is operating properly by plugging a
different device into it.

Verify that the power from the power source meets the operating
specifications of the media converter, listed in “Electrical
Specifications” on page 59
.

Problem 2: The Link LED for the twisted pair port is off.

Solutions: Set the unit to the Link Test mode. If the Link LED for the
twisted pair port remains off, try the following:

Verify that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port on
the media converter and to the port on the remote network device.

Verify that the network device connected to the twisted pair port is
powered on and is operating properly.

Try connecting another network device to the twisted pair port with a
different cable. If the twisted pair port is able to establish a link, then
the problem is with the cable or the other network device.

Verify that you are using the correct type of cable and have not
exceeded the maximum distance. For the cable specifications, refer to
“Type of Cabling” on page 19.

Verify the settings of DIP switches 1, 2 and 3. For information, refer to
Table 11 on page 44.

Problem 3: The Link LED for the fiber optic port is off.

optic port remains off, try the following:
