At one end I have AF100-2 media convert 10/100Base and at the other end I have TP-Link MC200CM 10/1000Base media converter.
Originally there were AF100-2 at both ends, but one of device is not working, so bought a replacement.
On TP Link media converter there is no LED light for FX Link.
Do I need same kind of media converters at both end? Anything else I need to change?
Thanks.

You need media converters that "talk the same language" at both ends.
The AF100-2 appears to be 100Base-FX.
The MC200CM is 1000Base-SX.
I would also note that 1000Base-SX has a significantly lower maximum distance (220 or 500 meters depending on type of multimode fiber). 100Base-FX can go up to 2km, so if your fiber run is longer than 1000Base-SX can support, you will need to get a 100Base-FX media converter.
