Installation Troubleshooting - IMC Networks iMcV-MediaLinX Operation Manual

Installation Troubleshooting

•
During installation, first test the fiber and twisted pair connections with all
troubleshooting features disabled, then enable these features, if desired, just
before final installation. This will reduce the features' interference with testing.
•
When connecting to an end device, such as another switch, be sure to use the
same configuration on its port as well as the iMcV-MediaLinX. For example, if
the end device is set to a FORCE mode, then set the copper port of the iMcV-
MediaLinX to a FORCE mode as well.
If using a high powered device (which is designed for long distance installations) for a
short distance installation, the fiber transmitters may overdrive the receivers and
cause data loss. If this is the case, an optical attenuator may need to be added to the
connection.
