Installation Troubleshooting

General Troubleshooting
• During installation, first test your fiber and BNC 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 working with units where the features cannot be disabled, you must
establish BOTH your BNC and fiber connections; the NO LNK LEDs should
not be lit (i.e. NO LNK LED not lit = good connection, NO LNK LED lit =
problem).
• To test a media converter by itself, first make sure you have an appropriate
fiber patch cable, then follow these steps to test:
1. Connect the media converter to the BNC device with a coax cable.
2. Loop a single strand of fiber from the transmit port to the receive port of
your media converter.
3. Verify that you have a valid connection for both the BNC and fiber ports
on your media converter.
• If there is trouble with link connectivity, make sure the connection is made
using 75W Coax cable.
