  • Page 124 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Media Converter Modules Problem: All the port LEDs on a media converter module are off. Solution: Try the following: For MCF3010SP/4SP and MCF3010SPT/4SP modules, verify that  the chassis has two MCF3300AC or MCF3300DC power supplies and that both power supplies are powered on. These media converter modules require two power supplies.
  • Page 125 MCF3000 Multi-Channel Media Converter Installation Guide Verify that the cable is the correct category for the port speed.  Refer to “Copper Cable” on page 23. If the chassis has the MCF3000M management module, use the  management software to verify that the port is enabled. Problem: The Link/Activity LED of a fiber optic port is off.
  • Page 126 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 127 MCF3000 Multi-Channel 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.
