UTP Issues

Problem:

The UTP link LED does not illuminate after installation is complete.

Possible Causes:

A. Confirm that the UTP cable is connected properly to the iConverter Gx AN and the attached UTP
device. Once a connection has been established between the iConverter and its link partner (switch or
workstation), the corresponding Port 2 (P2) LED should illuminate. If the LED does not illuminate, check
the Link Mode configuration. A link mode other than Link Segment may cause the P2 LED not to turn ON.

B. Verify the iConverter Gx AN Port 2 (UTP) is connected to 1000Mbps switch or workstation port. The
module does not support 10/100Mbps.

C. Verify the distance between the iConverter and the link partner is within 100 meters.

D. Confirm that the UTP cable pin-out is correct (EIA/TIA-568-A). The module has auto-crossover
capability, so it will accept either a straight-through or crossover cable.

NOTE: If corrective actions do not resolve your situation, please contact Omnitron Systems Technical
Support.
