Thanks for all your help everyone. Saved the school a few hundred pounds! It turned out DMcCoy was right and i needed to swap over the connectors on one of the patch cables. Sprang to life after that.

Update Managed to go over and try a few things. Checked the cables and they are both 50/125. Opened up the patch panel to check the same cores are going to the same place and they are. Moved the mini gbic to the other available slot just in case. made no difference. removed the patch cable and put paper in front of it. Couldn't see any flashing lights.

ok cool, i will check later when i get chance, It's over the other end of the school.

Does fibre cable have the type written on the actual cable? so i can check if it's 50/125 or 62.5/125. I'll try moving the mini gbic to the other port as i am using the ethernet port above it. Although i'm sure i read in the manual that they are independant. Thanks for all your suggestions

Ahhh i meant to ask about that in the original post. I'm not sure what the main fibre link is. If the main link is 62.5/125 and the patch cables are 50/125 will it not work?

Hi, Can anyone help me with a probelm i have with a fibre link. A few months ago we had a fibre link installed to get networking over to an isolated building. The company installed the fibre cable, terminated at patch panels and supplied two switches. We then bought some fibre patch cables and connected them up but the link doesn't appear to be active. The company has since gone into liquidation so our only option is to try and figure it out or get our council IT Support to it at a cost. Obviously i would rather not have the extra cost so any help would be much appreciated. We've never really had to do anything with Fibre connections so i'm not sure if it should just work by connecting it or if something needs setting up in the menus. Info Four Core fibre cable (about 100m) 2 x HP Procurve 2610 switches with sx mini gbics installed. Multinode 50/125 dublex lc-sc fibre patch cables. The switches show the mini gbics as being installed and enabled but there is no activity. Thanks in advance for any help. Ben

Anyone? I can't find an MSI out there yet either.

Hi, The PE department have asked for dartfish but management don't like how expensive it is. Does anyone know of any cheaper or free software that would give similar functions. They really just want to be able to slow video down, take snapshots, break down a scene into multiple snapshots and be able to annotate the video/snapshots. I don't think they need the editing to be live. It's more likely that they will go back to the classroom to look at it. Thanks in advance

Hi Did anyone ever create a new msi for audacity with LAME built in that they'd like to share? IT teacher just asked if we could put it on the network. Cheers
