INSTALLATION
Set Switches
Use small flatblade
screwdriver or
similar device to set
recessed switches
according to site
installation.
• Set the
MDI/MDI-X
switch to MDI
for cable connection between hub and media converter. Set the
MDI/MDI-X switch to MDI-X for cable connection between media
converter and terminal, transceiver or network interface card (NIC).
• Refer to drawing for four-position switch settings.
Install Cable
COPPER
NOTE: KEEP TWISTED PAIR RUNS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE.
• Locate or build 802.3 compliant cables with straight through
configuration and male RJ-45 plug connectors.
• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of cable to media
converter RJ-45 jack connector.
• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to DTE
terminal RJ-45 jack connector (setting MDI switch to MDI-X) or to Hub
RJ-45 jack connector (setting MDI switch to MDI).
FIBER
• Locate or build 802.3 compliant fiber cable with male two-stranded TX
to RX connectors appropriate to the media converter installed at both
ends.
• Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at one end of cable to TX
and RX female connectors, respectively, on media converter.
• Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at other end of cable to RX
and TX connectors of 802.3 compliant fiber device.
Connect to Power
• Install Power Adapter cord at back of media converter.
• Connect Power Adapter 3-prong plug to AC power.
• Verify that media converter is powered by observing illuminated LED(s).
