The device is a power-required device, meaning it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should be active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime. In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your Media Converter from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the converter or the power adapter.
Please read this chapter completely before continuing. 3.1 Stand-alone Installation Step 1: Unpack the Media Converter. Step 2: Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the XT-715A and verify that the Power LED lights up. (Please refer to the 2.4 Power Information section for power input.)
Step 5: When all the connections are all set and the LED lights all show normal, the installation is completed. 1. Install the 10G SFP+ transceiver into the media converter 10G SFP+ slot; the 10G SFP+ slot LNK/ACT LED will light on (Chipset restriction).
Step 4: Refer to Chapter 2.4 Power Information on power supply to the Media Converter. Before mounting the device to the wall, please check the loca- tion of the electrical outlet and the length of the Ethernet cable. 3.3 Media Chassis Installation To install the Media Converter in a 10-inch or 19-inch standard rack, follow the instructions described below.
3.4 Optional DIN-rail Installation There are two DIN-rail holes on the left side of the XT-715A that allows to be easily installed by DIN-rail mounting. PLANET optional DIN-rail mounting kit – RKE-DIN -- can be ordered separately. Refer to the following steps for the DIN-rail mounting of the XT-715A: Step 1: Screw the DIN rail on the XT-715A.
Media Converter MTB Series Transceiver Figure 3-2: Plug in the SFP+ Transceiver It is recommended to use PLANET SFP+ transceiver on the Media Converter. If you insert an SFP+ transceiver that is not supported, the Media Converter will not recognize it.

2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches the SFP+ transceiver model. To connect to 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type. To connect to 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.

2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T The 2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T port comes with auto-negotiation capability. It automatically supports 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T and 10GBASE-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into the 2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T port, and then turn on the Media Converter. The port will automatically run at 2500Mbps,5000Mbps and 10000Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.
