Chapter 2 Installation In this chapter, you will be given an overview of the EKI-2541M/2541S hardware installation procedures. 2.1 LED Indicators There are few LEDs display the power status and network status located on the front panel of EKI-2541M/2541S, each of them has its own specific meaning as below table. Table 2.1: EKI-2541M/S LED Definition Color Description...
2.2 DIP-Switch The DIP-Switch is used to configure operation mode for LFP (Link Fault Pass- Through) and operation mode for UTP/Fiber port. The default value of DIP-switch is OFF.

2.4 Mounting The EKI-2541M/2541S supports two mounting methods: DIN-rail & Wall. 2.4.1 Wall mounting EKI-2541M/2541S can be wall-mounted by using the included mounting kit. Then, hang on the EKI-2541M/2541S to the nails on the wall. First, use the screws included in the package to combine the EKI-2541M/2541S and metal mounting kit.
2.4.2 DIN-rail Mounting You can also mount EKI-2541M/2541S on a standard DIN-rail by below steps. The DIN-rail kit is screwed on the industrial switch when out of factory. If the DIN-rail kit is not screwed on the industrial switch, please screw the DIN-rail kit on the switch first. First, hang the EKI-2541M/2541S to the DIN-rail with angle of inclination.

Then, let the device down straight to slide over the rail smoothly. See Figure 2.7 Figure 2.7: Installation to DIN-rail Step 2 EKI-2541M & 2541S User Manual...
2.5 Network Connection • Twisted-pair segment can use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standard for Category 5. The cable between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Power Input Verify that is using the right power cord/adapter (+12~48 V ), please don’t use the power adaptor with DC output voltage higher than 48V, or it will burn this converter down. Cable Select the proper UTP/Fiber cable to construct your network. The single-mode converter must use single-mode fiber cable.
