10.0 Troubleshooting
Below is a listing of several problems that may arise during the installation & operation of the
fiber units. If user encounters issues in the installation or operation, please refer to list below.
Problem: Card does not fit in chassis slots
Action: Check card orientation. Alba logo must be located on the top side of the card. Please
ensure the card guides in the chassis are aligned with the extrusion on the card.
Problem: Card power LED does not light when power to the card/subrack is applied or power
indicator turns on and off
Action: Check power supply to ensure that it is plugged in and turned on. If flashing continues,
move card, if another slot is available in the same chassis.
Problem: No video at output of card
Action: Check to ensure that the input video of the specific channel is operating - the LED must
be ON. Also, check to ensure that the optical LED on receiver is ON. If video is still absent, check
to ensure that the monitor is ON and that the coaxial cable is connected to the correct video port
on the Rx card.
Problem: Video image is dark
Action: In camera OSD - check the iris control on the camera to ensure that it is open as per
the environmental conditions.
Problem: No Data
Action: Check that both the transmitter and receiver cards are set to transmit/receive the same
data format and that the data connections are correct. Check to ensure that the data source is
operating properly.
Problem: No Ethernet Data
Action: 1 – One fiber units (TX/RX) – Check to ensure that a TX unit is optically connected to a
RX unit. A TX or a RX will not communicate with a card of the same type TX or RX.
2 – Check to ensure the correct connection of LAN cable. Also, check to ensure that the optical
LEDs on transmitter and receiver are ON.
Problem: Fiber system does not work
Action: 1 - there is a simple rule to try. Replace TX side with an TX that is known to be fully
operational. If Link works, original TX is faulty. If no results, re-install original TX. Now replace
RX with unit that is known to be fully operational. If link works, original RX is faulty.
results, please use Light source on one end and power meter on other end to measure light in
cable. It is possible that optical connectors on cable (one or both) are faulty.
If the problem still persists after reviewing the above items, please contact Alba technical
support (888-888-8888) or write to [email protected].
