Troubleshooting
If the Media Converter fails, isolate and correct the failure by determining the
answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:
1. Is the PWR LED on the Media Converter illuminated?
NO
• Is the power adapter the proper type of voltage and cycle frequency for
the AC outlet?
• Is the power adapter properly installed in the Media Converter and in
the outlet?
• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312, International:
00-1-952-941-7600.
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the multimode Link LED (on the left) illuminated?
NO
• Check the fiber cables for proper connection.
• Verify that the TX and RX cables on the Media Converter are connected
to the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the other device.
• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312, International:
00-1-952-941-7600.
YES
• Proceed to step 3.
3. Is the singlemode Link LED (on the right) illuminated?
NO
• Check the fiber cables for proper connection.
• Verify that the TX and RX cables on the Media Converter are connected
to the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the other device.
• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312, International:
