6. Check that the FOLNK LED on the ECM39-12 is on. If the LED is

not on, perform the following steps until it is:

Check that the power is turned on for the device at the other end of
the link.

b. Verify proper “receive to transmit” connection of fiber strands

between the applicable port on the module and the fiber optic

c.

Verify that the fiber connection meets the dB loss specifications
outlined in Appendix A.

If a link still has not been established, contact Cabletron Systems
