Link Test/

MissingLink

The Link Test/MissingLink (LT/ML) button or switch, depending on your
module, allows you to perform a link test on the media converter ports
and to activate the MissingLink feature on the unit. Both features are
describe in the following section.

Link Test

The link test is a fast and easy way for you to test the connections
between the media converter ports and the end-nodes that are
connected to the ports. If a network problem occurs, you can perform a
link test to determine which port is experiencing a problem, and be able
to focus your troubleshooting efforts on the cable and end-node where
the problem resides.

A link test is performed when the LT/ML button or switch is in LT
position. For instructions on performing a link test, refer to

Troubleshooting

on page 99.

Note
Performing a link test does not interfere with a media converter’s
ability to pass network traffic, except for the AT-PB1000 Series
modules.
