Installing the UMC Media Converter
Desktop
Installation
When installing the UMC Media Converter on a desktop, place it on a flat,
secure surface (such as a desk or table) that is close to your computer.
Leave enough space around the unit for ventilation.
Powering ON the
Media Converter
To apply power to the media converter, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the media converter’s USB cable into the computer’s USB port.
Note
Two USB cables are provided in the shipping box. The UMC Media
Converter’s USB connector type is USB-C.
If the computer’s USB port type is Type-A, install the Type-A to
Type-C USB cable.
If the computer’s USB port type is Type-C, install the Type-C to
Type-C USB cable.
2. Turn the power on to your computer. This applies power to the UMC
media converter via the USB port.
3. Verify that the SYSTEM LED is illuminated as solid green. If the SYS
LED is off or is slowly blinking, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 37.
Installing UMC
Drivers
The UMC media converter requires that a specific software driver be
installed on your computer for it to communicate via the computer’s USB
port. The UMC software driver is available on the ATI website at
www.alliedtelesis.com.
Perform the following procedure to install the UMC software driver.
1. Connect the UMC Media Converter to the computer’s USB port.
2. Copy the driver files to a folder on the computer where the UMC
device driver is being installed.

11. If no errors are reported in this installation process, the UMC Media
Converter device driver is operational.
Connecting the
Network Cables
When the fiber-optic cable is connected to the fiber port of the UMC Media
Converter, the fiber connector should fit snugly and be locked into place.
To connect the network cable, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the dust cover from the fiber-optic connector and store it for
use in the future.
2. Connect the cable to the fiber-optic port. The tab on the connector
should lock the connector into place.
3. Power on the UMC media converter (see “Powering ON the Media
Converter” on page 30) and power on its fiber end node.
4. Verify that the fiber LINK/ACT LED is illuminated or blinking. If not,
refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 37.
5. Your UMC media converter is ready for use.

Chapter 3
Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information on how to troubleshoot the media
converter if a problem occurs.
Note
For further assistance, please contact Allied Telesis Technical
Support at www.alliedtelesis.com/support.
Problem 1: The SYSTEM LED on the media converter is off.
Solutions: The unit is not receiving power. Try the following:
Verify the computer is powered on where the media converter USB
cable is connected.
Verify that the media converter USB cable is fully inserted into the
computer’s USB port. If this is not the case, try re-seating the
connector.
An internal component on the unit may be damaged or not working
properly. Try power cycling the unit by removing the USB cable
and re-inserting into the computer’s USB port. If power cycling
does not clear the fault, contact Allied Telesis technical support.
Problem 2: The SYSTEM LED on the media converter is blinking slowly.
Solutions:
An error is present on the unit. Try power cycling the unit.
Problem 3: The FIBER LINK/ACT LED for the fiber-optic port is off.
Solutions: The fiber-optic port on the transceiver is unable to establish a
link to an end node. Try the following:
Verify that the end node connected to the fiber-optic port is
operating properly.
Verify that the fiber-optic cable is securely connected to the port on
the media converter and to the port on the remote end-node.
Verify that the end node connected to the media converter is
operating at the same speed.
Verify that the end node connected to the media converter is
operating at the same optical wavelength. Make sure the UMC
fiber connector and the end node are the same connector type; i.e.
SC connected to SC or LC connected to LC.
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
38
Verify that the transmitter port (TX) is connected to the end node’s
receiver port (RX) and that the media converter’s receiver port
(RX) is connected to the end node’s transmitter port (TX).
Verify that the correct type of fiber-optic cabling is being used.
Verify that the port is connected to the correct fiber-optic cable.
This is to eliminate the possibility that the port is connected to the
wrong remote end-node, such as a powered-off device.
Try connecting another end node to the fiber-optic port using a
different cable. If the port is able to establish a link, then the
problem is with the original cable or with the other end node.
If the remote end-node is a managed device, use its management
firmware to determine whether its port is enabled.
Test the attenuation on the fiber-optic cable with a fiber-optic tester
to determine whether the optical signal is too weak (sensitivity) or
too strong (maximum input power).
