Installation Guide 300 Series Media Converter &

CONNECTING THE UNIT

For 300 Series fiber units, remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the fiber optic cables. For Fiber Optic ports, the TX port on the near station should be connected to the RX port of the far end station, and the RX port should be connected to the TX port of the far end station.

For 10Base-T ports, plug a Category 3 (or greater) twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. For

100Base-T ports, plug a Category 5 (or greater) twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the other end to the far end station. Verify that the LNK LED’s are ON once the connection has been completed. To connect any other port to another Switch or Repeater, use a standard Cat5 straight through or crossover cable.

Warning: Creating a port to port connection on the same switch (i.e. loop) is an illegal operation and will create a broadcast storm which will crash the network!

Note: For units which have the N-View Option, you can validate that all ports are working correctly by installing the N-View OPC Server software. The software is freely distributed on the ProductCD and our website ( http://www.n-tron.com/html/opc.html

). Once the software is installed, you should view the

Ports Counter page to remotely monitor each connected port. You may find it helpful to copy

[Alt]+[Print Screen] the Port Counter information for each port and paste [Control]+[V] into a Windows document for further review. Please consult your N-View OPC Server Manual for additional information.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Make sure the (Power LED) is ON.

2. Verify that Link LED’s are ON for connected ports.

3. Verify cabling used between stations.

4. Verify that cabling is Category 5 (or greater) for 100Mbit Operation.

5. Verify TX is connected to far end RX and vise versa (fiber optic units only).
