Note
The MissingLink feature is disabled when you perform a link test with
the NML/LNK TST button. Consequently, to ensure that the
MissingLink feature is activated on the media converter, always set the
button to the NML (IN) position during normal network operations.
Link Test. A link test is a fast and easy way for you to test the connections
between the ports on the media converter and the end-nodes that are
connected to the ports. If a network problem occurs, you can perform a link
test to determine which port is experiencing a problem, so that you can focus
your troubleshooting efforts on the cable and end-node where the problem
resides.
A link test is performed when the NML/LNK TST button is in the LNK TST
(OUT) position.
Note
Performing a link test does not interfere with a media converter’s ability
to pass network traffic.
External Power Adapter
An external AC/DC power adapter is provided with the media converter for
use on a desktop. The power adapter supplies 12 V DC to the media converter.
Allied Telesyn supplies an approved safety compliant AC power adapter for
the 120 V AC and 240 V AC versions with an unregulated output of 12 V DC
at 1 A. The power required for the media converter is 12 V DC, 500 mA.
