Media converters can be tricky and the devil is in the detail.

* Do you need to be able to disable auto-negotiation?  Not all media
converters can do this.
* Are you trying to connect a 1000Base router port to a 100Base converter?
* If you're converting to copper, the converter may or may not support
auto-MDI/MDI-X. Use appropriate cabling
* Power on order.  Some converters like to be powered on before being
patched.  Others don't care.
* Many Transition converters support transparent link pass through.
If you don't need this, try toggling it off.

I realize this isn't the media converter NSP list.  Apologies if this
is off-topic.
