2. Installation 2.1 Unpacking The product package contains: The device unit QR code label linking to product documentation cloud 2.2 Safety Cautions To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire and damage to the product, observe the following precautions.
2.3 Mounting the Media Converter The media converter can be mounted on a desktop or shelf or a wall. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the device. Do not place heavy objects on the device.
Din-Rail mounting For a Din-Rail chassis, the device can support mounting on a Din-Rail. The following figure shows an example after bracket installation: 1. Install the mounting bracket onto the back of the device with screws as shown below: 2. Attach bracket to the lower edge of the DIN rail and push the unit upward a little bit until the bracket can clamp on the upper edge of the DIN rail.
DC Power input contacts: - DC-Negative (-) input terminal + DC+Negative (+) input terminal Terminal Plug: A 2P flange terminal plug Power wires: 24 ~ 12AWG (IEC 0.5~2.5mm2) Wire length: 1 meter max. VDC input rating: +12V ~ +60V 2.4.2 DC Power Jack Contact Connector: DC Jack (-Ø...
2.5 Making UTP Connections The 10/100/1000 twisted-pair copper port supports the following connection types and distances: Network Cables 10BASE-T: 2-pair UTP Cat. 3,4,5 , EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm 100BASE-TX: 2-pair UTP Cat. 5, EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm 1000BASE-T: 4-pair UTP Cat. 5 or higher (Cat.5e is recommended), EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm Link distance: Up to 100 meters Auto MDI/MDI-X Function This function allows the port to auto-detect the twisted-pair signals and adapts itself to form a valid...
2.6 Making Fiber Connection The mini-GBIC SFP port must be installed with an SFP fiber transceiver for making fiber connection. Your device may come with an SFP transceiver pre-installed when it was shipped. Installing SFP Fiber Transceiver To install an SFP fiber transceiver into the SFP port, the steps are: 1.
2.6.1 SFP Configuration DIP Switch (SW4) Mode 1000Mbps, Full duplex, Auto-negotiation enabled (Factory default) Auto detection Full duplex Line rate, 1000Mbps or 100Mbps is determined by detecting the data rate information embedded in the installed SFP transceiver Note: The setting change of SW4 takes effect after next device power-up. 2.7 LED Indication State Interpretation...
3 Media Converter Functions 3.1 Line Rate Conversion The device supports the following data conversions between fiber cable and twisted-pair Cat.5 (copper) cable: The data line rate on twisted-pair copper segment depends on the link speed finally established with the link partner. However, the line rate can be fixed at one specific line rate by setting UTP configuration DIP switches (SW1 ~ SW3).
3.3 Link Fault Pass Through Function When the Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) function is enabled. When the media converter detects a link fault on one port segment, it will force the other port segment link down. It looks like that a link fault is passed from one port to the other.
3.3.1 LFPT Configuration DIP Switch (SW5) The LFPT function can be enabled by setting SW5 as below: LFPT Disabled (Factory default) Enabled Note: The setting change of SW5 takes effect after next device power-up. Under certain condition, LFPT function is not supported. See the following table: SFP Port Mode LFPT Function 1000Mbps, Full duplex,...
