TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:

Problem:

The Power LED does not illuminate after installation

is complete.

Possible Causes:

A. Confirm that the power supply is connected.

B. Confirm that the correct power supply is being used.
Problem:

The Fiber Optic link LED does not illuminate after

installation is complete.
Possible Causes:

A. Confirm that the fiber optic cable is properly

connected to the miConverter Gx and the remote fiber

optic device.

B. Confirm that the fiber cable type matches the fiber

transceiver type (multimode, single-mode) on the

miConverter Gx.

C. If using a dual-fiber model, confirm that the transmitter

(Tx) is attached to the receiver side of its link partner,

and that the receiver (Rx) is attached to the transmitter.

D. If using a single-fiber model, confirm that the Tx

wavelength on the miConverter Gx matches the Rx of

the connected fiber optic device.
Problem:

The Fiber Optic link LED blinks slowly after installation

is complete, indicating connected devices are not able

to complete auto-negotiation.
Possible Causes:

A. Confirm that the miConverter Gx and the connected

fiber optic and UTP devices are set to auto-negotiation

mode. If the connected fiber device does not support

auto-negotiation, configure the miConverter to MAN

mode.

B. Confirm that the UTP cables of the miConverter Gx

and the connected fiber optic and UTP devices are

properly connected.

C. If two miConverter Gx converters are connected via

fiber, confirm that both converters have their fiber optic

ports set to auto-negotiate “AN” and their UTP ports

connected to remote devices.

D. Confirm that the connected UTP and fiber optic

devices have the same Duplex/Pause capabilities.
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 miConverter Gx and the attached UTP device.

B. Confirm that the UTP cable pin-out is correct

(EIA/TIA-568-A).

C. Confirm that the attached UTP device is working

properly and is capable of Gigabit Ethernet speed.
Note: If corrective actions do not resolve your

situation, please contact Omnitron Systems
