This may seem like a dumb question but is the switch not a C2k switch, and is then the Ethernet converter not C2k as well? if so then would C2k not replace it?

Unless you are running a second (legacy) switch off the C2k one. If so could you post a pic?

Well, the converter in question isn't actually part of the c2k/legacy switch  - its in a different cabinet.  This set up is more simple. The fibre terminates at a patch bay in cab2 from cab 1. Two fibre cables are patched into that and the ethernet converter. The ethernet converter plugs into port 24 of my 3Com legacy switch. 

The ethernet converter isn't showing a steady link light. The same thing happened to its sister ethernet converter in Cab 1 which I was able to pin down to a faulty power supply.  Could well be the same as this one, but if I can get one for ?30 (which I saw on Ebay) I don't mind buying the entire thing.

I guess it depends on your set-up? Did the convertor connect straight to the internet router beforehand?

Has the 3com stuff not a lifetime warranty. I know the switches do. You could try ringing them and asking. On the other hand I have 3com switches here with dual fibre connectors in the back and will be throwing them out when the new switches arrive and get installed.

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
