Overview Introduction The TCF-142-RM series fiber converters are slide-in modules that can be installed in the NRack System’s rackmount chassis, such as the TRC- 190 series. The slide-in module is equipped with a multiple interface circuit that can handle RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial interfaces, and multi-mode or single-mode fiber.
Installation The media converter slide-in module can be hot-swapped, which means the chassis doesn’t have to power off or be removed during installation. Align the slide-in module with the chassis installation slot so that the panel fastener screw is at the top of the module. Carefully slide the slide-in module into the slot while aligning the module’s circuit board with the installation guide.
ATTENTION Electrostatic Discharge Warning! To protect the product from damage due to electrostatic discharge, we recommend wearing a grounding device when handling your TCF-142-RM-slide-in modules module series.

Pin1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Ring Point to Point The S3 DIP Switch is located inside the TCF-142-RM. When the TCF- 142-RM is in RS-485 mode, use this DIP switch to configure RS-485 data direction control, data format, and baudrate. When the TCF-142- RM is in RS-232/422 mode, the S3 DIP switch cannot affect RS- 232/422 communication.
LED Indicators There are three LEDs on the front bracket of the TCF-142-RM slide-in modules.
