One-Channel Media Converter
Ports
The Converter provides one TX port and one FX port. For the
FX port, it provides options of multi-mode fiber using SC, ST,
VF-45, MT-RJ or LC connector, single-mode fiber using SC or ST connector, and WDM single-fiber (bi-direction) transceiver using SC connector. For the TX port, it uses RJ-
45 connector, auto-MDIX, and auto senses the speed of
10/100Mbps and full/half duplex.
Port Settings
Port settings are made very simple by means of a DIP (Dual
Inline Package) switch at the rear panel of the module.

First, disconnect the converter from the power. Then toggle Pin 2 of the
DIP switch to the up position to enable the forced mode for TX port.
<NOTE> Pin 2 must be toggled up prior to speed and duplex mode settings manually.

Toggle down Pin 3 to force the TX port at the speed of 100Mbps. Or toggle up Pin 3 for 10Mbps speed.
Toggle down Pin 4 to force the TX port at full duplex mode. Or toggle up
Pin 4 for half duplex mode.
Toggle down Pin 5 to force the FX port at full duplex mode. Or toggle up
Pin 5 for half duplex mode.
Connect the converter to the power again. The new setting will come into effect then.

Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Converter.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements:
The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees
Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).
The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing.
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field
(RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the equipment.
The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
Connecting to Power
This Converter is a plug-and-play device.
Connect the supplied AC to DC power adaptor to the receptacle on the rear panel of the converter, and then attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 240VAC.

Installing in a Chassis
The Converter can be fit into any of the expansion slots on a special designed chassis.
First, install the converter onto a carrier supplied with the chassis:
Step 1- Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.
Step 2- Fit the converter onto the carrier.
When the converter is completely seated onto the carrier, insert the carrier to the guide rails of the expansion slot.
Carefully slide in the carrier until it is fully and firmly fit the chassis. Fasten the screws onto the carrier.
<NOTE> Never insert any converter into the chassis directly without using the supplied carriers. The carriers allow secure and consistent placement of the converters into the chassis’ backplane without causing any damage.
