Installation Notes - Transition Networks Micro-ceiver E-FRL-MC01C User Manual

Using the Fiber Optic Micro-Receiver
The fiber Micro-ceiver can be attached directly to
a fiber hub or, through another fiber Micro-ceiver,
to a terminal device or 10BaseT hub.
SQE Enable / Disable: The SQE
(Signal Quality Error) switch,
located and marked at the Micro-
ceiver front, is set to ON to enable
the SQE or set to OFF to disable
the SQE. (A small screwdriver is
ideal for setting the SQE switch.)
SQE ON: Set the SQE switch to
enabled (ON) when the Micro-
ceiver is connected to a terminal
device.
SQE OFF: Set the SQE switch to
disabled (OFF) when the Micro-
ceiver is connected to a hub.

Installation Notes

• Verify that both the fiber products to be
connected are 10BaseFL or FOIRL compliant.
(The fiber port on the TRANSITION Networks
E-FRL-MC01 conforms to 10BaseFL or FOIRL
but NOT to 10BaseFB or FDDI.)
• 62.5/125 micron duplex fiber cable is
recommended.
• The maximum dBm loss for the fiber cable
should not exceed 13 dBm.
• Ensure that cable installed at transmit (TX)
connector of E-FRL-MC01 is installed at receive
(RX) connector of E-FRL-MC01 or hub at other
end of fiber cable; ensure that cable installed at
receive (RX) connector of E-FRL-MC01 is
installed at transmit (TX) connector of E-FRL-
MC01 or hub at other end of fiber cable.
• Optional AUI cable assembly cannot exceed
50 meters (165 feet)..
• Connecting more than two media converters in
series is not recommended.

Troubleshooting the Media Converter
If the E-FRL-MC01 fails, determine the answers to the following questions:
1. Is the power LED on the E-FRL-MC01 illuminated?
NO
• Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312 or at (800) LAN-WANS.
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the Link LED illuminated?
NO
• Check fiber cables for proper connection.
• Verify that TX and RX cables on media converter are connected to RX and TX ports,
respectively, on the other 10BaseFL device.
• Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312 or at (800) LAN-WANS.
YES
• Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312 or at (800) LAN-WANS.
