Verifying the Installation
To verify the installation and check to be sure that the media converter is
operating properly, perform the following procedure:
1. If you have not already, set M/L ON/LNK TST button to the Link Test
mode (OUT) position. If you installed a back-to-back topology, set both
media converters to the Link Test mode.
2. Power on the end nodes that are connected to the ports on the media
converter.
3. Verify that the LNK (Link) LED for the twisted pair port is ON.
4. Verify that the LNK (Link) LED for the fiber optic port is ON.
Note
If either LNK LED is OFF, refer to the next section, “Troubleshooting”
for guidelines on how to troubleshoot the unit.
5. Set the M/L ON/LNK TST button to the Link Test mode (OUT) position.
Note
When operating two media converters in a back-to-back configuration,
Allied Telesyn recommends that the MissingLink feature on one or both
of the converters be disabled. The MissingLink feature can be disabled
by placing the LNK TST button in the OUT position (LNK TST Mode).
The Link Test mode does not interfere with the converter’s ability to
pass network traffic.
The media converter is now ready to support network operations.
