Installation

Following are the installation procedure to install FCAT1000-N

1 Connect a fiber patch chord Type (single/multi mode) and SC interface on FCAT1000-N to the FX port.

2 Connect a CAT 5 UTP cable to the corresponding TX port and terminate it on the Ethernet port of the terminal equipment (Typically a switch/PC/server)

3 Repeat step two at the remote side of the fiber.

4 After switching on, check if the FX link is up, or else swap TX and RX patch chord of the corresponding FX port.

5 Once FX link is up, check the TX link status and ensure it is up.

F.A.Q

Problem Indication Corrective Action

Check if the power supply cable is firmly connected to the main power supply

Check if the AC input power source is between 100 and 240VAC. (Check if the source voltage is between 36VDC to 72VDC for a DC Box)

No Power Main power

LED is not glowing

Check the fuse on AC mains supply

Check whether the connected devices port is active.

Check if the cable is faulty.

Copper link not active

TX Link LED is not glowing

(TX LINK) Reset the device and try again

Check if the receive fiber of the local device is properly connected to the transmit port of the remote fiber device and the transmit port to the receive port of the remote device

Ensure that the cables are inserted properly.

Check whether the connected remote device is active.

If the problem persists, then repeat the above-mentioned steps at the remote device.

If the link still does not come up, ensure that the fiber link is functional, using an OTDR equipment measure the fiber loss and ensure that the loss is less than the product power budget.

Fiber link not active

FX Link LED (1000Base-FX is not glowing)

Reset the device and try again

Improper network traffic / slowed down traffic

Excess collisions Verify that all devices (both FCAT and the devices interconnected by them) are set to the same Duplex mode, 1000 Mbps data rate, and set to Auto negotiation enable.
