Verifying the Installation
This procedure verifies the installation of the media
converter module by determining whether the ports in the
channels can establish a link to their networking devices.
This procedure assumes the following:
ˆ The media converter chassis is powered on.
ˆ The network cables are connected to the ports on the
media converter module and to the local and remote
networking devices.
ˆ The local and remote networking devices are powered
on.
To verify the installation of a media converter module,
perform the following procedure:
1. Select a channel on the module using the Mode
Selection button, as explained in “Mode Selection
Button” on page 36. Channel selection is indicated by
the CH LEDs next to the fiber optic ports. Turning the
button up or down toggles through the channels. For
example, to select channel 1 (i.e., twisted pair port 1
and fiber optic port 1), turn the Mode Selection button
until the CH1 LED is on.
2. Set the operating mode of the channel to Link Test by
pressing the middle of the Mode Selection button until
the LT LED is on.
3. Observe the Link LEDs of the twisted pair and fiber
optic ports of the channel.
ˆ If the Link LEDs for both ports of the channel are
on, the ports have established a link with their
networking device. The local and remote devices
may already be forwarding network traffic to each
other through the media converter channel. You
can either leave the channel in the Link Test mode
during normal operations or, by pressing the
middle of the Mode Selection button again, change
it to the MissingLink or Smart MissingLink mode.
The MissingLink mode is active on a channel
when the ML LED is on. The Smart MissingLink
mode is active on a channel when the SML LED is
on. For further information on the operating
modes, refer to “Channel Operating Modes” on
