Installation Troubleshooting
•
During installation, first test your fiber and twisted pair connections with all
troubleshooting features disabled. Then enable these features, if desired, just
before final installation. This will reduce the interference from features upon
testing.
•
To test McBasic TP/FO by itself, you must have an appropriate fiber patch cable.
First, connect McBasic TP/FO to the twisted pair device with a twisted pair cable
and establish valid link. Next, loop a single strand of fiber from the transmit port
to the receive port of your media converter. Finally, verify that you have both
twisted pair and fiber link on your media converter.
•
Make sure that you are using the appropriate twisted pair cable or have the
crossover/pass-through button on the media converter set correctly.
•
Interconnection between the Next Generation of McBasic TP/FOs, iMcV-PIM
TP/FOs and McPIM TP/FOs and their Legacy counterparts is possible. Where
possible, however, use Legacy with Legacy product, or Next Generation with
Next Generation product.
•
When connecting the fiber port of a McBasic TP/FO to a 100 Mbps fiber port of
the link partner or another media converter, an unlabeled LED located at the top
of the fiber LED stack will glow amber, indicating the presence of a configuration
fault. To correct this fault, you must configure the end-device to force 10 Mbps
mode.
