To run a self-test on Ethernet functions, connect
an Ethernet patch cord to the RJ45-to-DB9
adapter. Use this series combination to connect
from the DB9 connector on the Cable ID to the
RJ45 connector on the MediaChecker.
5. After installing the Cable ID, press
E
to continue
the self-test program.
The MediaChecker displays “PASS” or “FAIL”. The self-
test repeats until you press
A
or the MediaChecker
turns itself off (Battery Save function).
If any failure is detected, return the unit to Rockwell
Automation for repair.
To check the MediaChecker's coaxial cable functions, run
the TEST and LENGTH tests on a known length of cable.
Returning the MediaChecker for Repair
If after performing the previous tests you believe the
MediaChecker is not performing properly, send the
complete kit to a local Rockwell Automation location for
repair. Rockwell Automation assumes no responsibility for
damage in transit.
A 1788-MCHKR MediaChecker covered by the limited
warranty will be promptly repaired or replaced (at
Rockwell Automation’s option) and returned to you at no
charge. If the warranty has lapsed, the MediaChecker will
be repaired and returned for a fixed fee. Contact a
Rockwell Automation distributor for information and
prices.
