Verifying the Installation
The purpose of the procedure in this section is to test the unit by checking the F/O link integrity.
Verify that the MAIN LED is a steady amber, indicating that the unit is receiving power.
1.
If you installed an optional redundant power supply, check that the BCKP LED is a
steady green.
2.
Check to be sure that the fans for the main power supply and the optional
redundant power supply, if installed, are operating.
3.
Check that each F-LNK LED for each fiber optic port on the media converter is lit,
indicating a link exists between the fiber optic port on the media converter and the
remote node connected to the port.
4.
If one or more of the F-LNK LEDs for the fiber optic ports are not lit, refer to the
'troubleshooting" on page 13
The media converter is now ready for normal network operation. For information on operating
the unit and on the LEDs, refer to the next section, "Operating the Multichannel Media
Converter".

Operating the Multichannel Media Converter

management. The status of the unit can be determined by viewing the LEDs on the front of the
unit. However you may install the optional FNM1612 management module to facilitate remote
monitoring of the unit as well.
Table 5 lists the functions of the power supply. Refer to table 6 for the port LEDs.
