  • Page 36: Connecting Ethernet Media

    Magnum 10Mb Media Converters Connecting Ethernet Media Connecting Ethernet media to the Magnum Media Converter is very simple and straightforward. Using a properly terminated media segment, simply attach the cable end to the appropriate connector. See Sections 4.2 and 4.3 for a description of the LEDs of the media converter models.
  • Page 37 Magnum 10Mb Media Converters Using standard 10BASE-T media, insert either end of the cable with an RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector of the Magnum Media Converter. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device. Use the LINK LED (non-Link pass-through models) to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be illuminated when the units are powered and proper connections established.
