Install the Fiber Cable
1. Locate or build fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors
installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the first J/RS232-xx-01 media converter as
described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cables to the other J/RS232-xx-01 media converter as
described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
Connect the fiber cable
to the first media converter
as shown.

Power the Media Converter
NOTE: The external power supply provided with this product is UL listed by
the power supply's manufacturer.
• Connect the barrel connector on the power adapter to the media
converter's power port (located on the back of the media converter).
• Connect the power adapter plug to AC power. Verify that the media
converter is powered by observing the illuminated LED power indicator
light. (For DC power see the SPS1872-xx DC external power supply.)

Operation

Use the status LEDs to monitor the media converter operation in the network.
RX On = A link has been established with the RS-232 connector.
Flashing = The RS-232 connector is receiving data.
FL On = A link has been established with the fiber connector.
PWR On = The media converter is connected to external power.
