4.2 CHECKING THE CONNECTION

This section provides a checklist for troubleshooting network connection
problems.

The LNK LED on the TPIM lights green when there is an established link
between the BRIM-T6 and the device at the other end of the media
connection. If, however, the LNK LED lights red or is not lighted, a link
has not been established. To resolve the problem, try the following
procedures:

Check that the host device and the device at the other end of the
segment have power.

Check that the TPIM is securely installed in the BRIM-T6 and that the
BRIM-T6 is securely installed in the host device.

Check for correct connector-to-port attachments at the BRIM-T6 and
the destination device.

Inspect the cabling system (cable and connectors) for damage and
replace damaged components.
