Check the Physical Connections
Check that the Link Status and Far End Status LEDs on
the ATM Module are ON and lit green. If one or both
of the LEDs is not lit, there is a problem with the
physical connection. Follow the troubleshooting
information below:
a Ensure that both devices are powered-up, and that
the ports at both ends of the link are enabled.
b Ensure that the cable is securely connected to the
port at both ends of the link.
c Check each end of the cable to ensure that each of
the fiber connectors is correctly connected. If your
connectors can be reversed, you may need to
reverse the TX and RX cable connectors at one end
of the link.
d Remove any objects obstructing the cable and
straighten out any kinks in the cable.
e If you suspect that the fiber optic connector is
dirty, see “Cleaning Dirty Fiber Optic Connectors”
in this section.
f Check that your cable meets the specifications
described in “ATM Cable Specification” on page
C-1
g Replace the cable with a cable known to be
working, and check the Link Status LED again.
h If there is still a problem, contact your repair center
for advice. For more details, see Appendix E.
