Testing the Installation

This procedure explains how to test the media converter by performing a link
test. A link test will determine whether each port on the media converter is
successfully receiving a signal from the node connected to it. You should
perform this test immediately after you have installed the media converter or
whenever you are experiencing a problem with the unit. To perform a link
test, perform these steps:

1.

Verify that the Power LED on the media converter is green. If the LED is
OFF, check the following:

If installed as a standalone unit, check to be sure that the adapter
cable is securely connected to the back of the media converter and that
the power adapter is securely connected to a power outlet.

If installed in an AT-MCR12 chassis, check that the unit is fully seated
in the slot.

Verify that the power outlet has power by connecting another device
to it.

Try using another power adapter.
