Page 16: Chapter 1: Overview
Chapter 1: Overview Introduction The MCF3000 product family of multi-channel media converters provides a simple and reliable way to consolidate large numbers of geographically separated Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks into a central location, with fiber optic cables. The media converter modules feature up to eight channels that function as independent media converters for transferring network traffic between copper and fiber optic cables. - Page 17 MCF3000 Media Converter Installation Guide Table 1. MCF3000 Product Family (Continued) Component Description MCF3000/8LC Media converter module with eight channels. Each channel has one 10/100/ 1000Mbps copper port and one fixed 1000Mbps (1000Base-SX) fiber optic port with duplex LC connectors. The fiber optic ports have a maximum operating distance of 500 meters (1640 ft.) with 50/125µm multimode cable or 220 meters (722 ft.)

Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Media Converter Modules Problem: All the port LEDs on a media converter module are off. Solution: Try the following: Visually inspect the module to be sure that it is fully installed in the slot. If the chassis has the MCF3000M management module, check the Power and System LEDs. - Page 123 MCF3000 Media Converter Installation Guide Problem: The Link/Activity LED of a fiber optic port is off. Solution: The fiber optic port is unable to establish a link to the remote network device. Try the following: Verify that the remote network device connected to the fiber optic port is operating properly.
- Page 124 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Problem: A port’s Link/Activity LED is slowly blinking once a second. Solution: This means that the media converter channel is operating in the MissingLink mode. The port with the blinking LED can establish a link with its network device, but the companion port in the same channel cannot establish a link, If the companion port is a copper port, refer to Problem 2.
- Page 125 MCF3000 Media Converter Installation Guide Another possible cause is an intermittent link on a port, perhaps because of a problem with a cable or a network device. To identify which port has the problem, set the channel to the regular mode and go to the previous Problem.
