Install the media converter

1. Turn off the networking equipment that will be connected to the
media converter.
2. Remove the dust cover and insert a Gigabit MSA-compliant SFP
module into media converter's SFP slot. The SFP transceiver used
should depend on your fiber network infrastructure.
Note: The media converter can only be used with Gigabit SFP
modules and will not support 10/100Mbps modules.
3. Connect a duplex fiber-optic cable from the media converter's
SFP module to your fiber network device.
The TX and RX connectors must be paired at both ends of the
connection. For example TX to RX, and RX to TX.
4. Connect an RJ45 Cat 5e/6 Ethernet cable from the media
converter's RJ45 port to your 10/100/1000Mbps network device.
5. Select the appropriate regional clip for your region and connect
the power adapter to an AC electrical outlet.
6. Connect the power adapter to the media converter's DC input.
The PWR LED (power) should light up solid.
7. Turn the networking equipment from step #1 back on. The Fiber
and TP LNK/ACT LEDs should light up solid when all cables and
devices are properly connected.
Note: Check the link budget of your SFP modules, as well as the
module's intended wiring distance. SFP modules are designed to
transmit signals over large distances. If the physical wiring distance
is too short, the transmitting optical signal (laser) may be too strong
and damage the receiving SFP module. An in-line optical attenuator
may be required to protect them from damage.
