4.2 Troubleshooting
If the BCI Mini-3GHD units do not operate properly after
installation, check for possible cable breaks, loose connections,
and incorrect cable connections. If a problem exists on the
fiber link, please check your fiber connectors for improperly
cleaned fiber cables and connectors. If problems persist that
may be fiber related, contact BCI at 1-800-214-0222 for further
assistance.
For electrical problems, perform the following troubleshooting
procedures:
1. If the POWER indicator is OFF, check for the following:
a. The line cord is plugged into the unit and your outlet
has power.
b. The Mini-3GHD unit is powered on.
2. If the POWER indicator is ON, but the Optical Level
indicator is OFF, check for the following:
a. Make sure the appropriate (Singlemode or Multimode)
fibers are being used.
b. Fiber and fiber connectors are not broken. Ensure that
the optical loss does not exceed the specified optical
power attenuation (see Section 5.0 Specifications for
the optical power budget).
c. For each unit, the transmit (TX) fiber is connected to
the other unit’s receiver (RX).
