Troubleshooting
If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the failure by determining the answers
to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:
1. Is the Power LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO
• Is the power adapter the proper type of voltage and cycle frequency for
the AC outlet?
• Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter and in the
outlet?
• Is the external power source active and at the proper voltage level?
• If powering the device via the USB port, make sure that the USB cable is
properly connected at both ends and that the USB port is powered up.
• Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312.
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the Copper LED illuminated?
NO
• Check the copper cable for proper connection.
• Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312.
YES
• Proceed to step 3.
3. Is the Fiber LED illuminated?
NO
• Check the fiber cables for proper connection.
• Verify that the TX and RX cables on the media converter are connected to
the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the other 100BASE-FX device.
• Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312.
YES
• Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312.

WARNING: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the
beam or view the beam directly with optical instruments. Failure to observe this
warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
WARNING:
Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION:
Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB,
RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are intended to be connected to
intra-building (inside plant) link segments that are not subject to lightening transients
or power faults. Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB,
RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are NOT to be connected to
inter-building (outside plant) link segments that are subject to lightening transients or
power faults. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to equipment.
