that the local transmitter, the attached cable and
the remote receiver are operational.

NOTE: The remote unit's UTP INF LED also
will not come ON unless the 8829 Media
Converter's F/INF LED is already ON, due to
the operation of the Fiber Break Propagation
feature.

If the Power LED is lit, and both INF LEDs are
lit, you can assume with some assurance that the
problem exists elsewhere. The most common cause
of network problems, once physical layer prob-
lems are resolved, is software configuration.

In addition, check that the total link loss is within
the allowable fiber optic loss budget and that if
the proposed application is a Half-Duplex
(CSMA/CD) one, it is within normal IEEE 802.3
Propagation Delay Budget parameters. If this still
does not solve the problem, call the Canoga Per-
kins Service Department at (818) 718-6300. A 24-
hour hotline, (800) 360-6642, is available for
emergency repair situations.
