  • Page 3 Thank you for purchasing this INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS ™ Media Converter. The models listed below vary in the type and number of ports, connectors, data transfer rates and added features, but all are designed so network managers can install fiber cabling anywhere within a network without changing the arrangement of copper-based Ethernet.
  • Page 4: Functions & Indicators

    Overview Since all the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS Media Converter models represented in this manual do not share all the same features, refer to the product or its corresponding Specifications list to determine which of the following sections or items within the sections apply to the enclosed product.
  • Page 5: Loopback Testing

    DIP Switches The DIP (dual in-line package) switches on the rear panel of some models enable a variety of functions that are printed in a convenient reference key alongside the switches. NOTE: A DIP switch reference list is also listed in the product’s Specifications.
  • Page 6 2. Click “Start.” 3. The program will send a testing message looped in the copper segment and display a pass/fail result. Remote Loopback Use a remote loopback (at the remote unit, set the designated DIP switch to On; at the local unit, keep both loopback Dip switches Off/disabled) to check that the fiber segment is connected properly.
  • Page 7 support Spanning Tree or Fast Spanning Tree protocols. By default, transmission of data will travel via the primary path. If a link failure is detected, transmission will automatically be switched to the secondary path by Spanning Tree Protocol, delivering non-stop network connectivity. LEDs Front panel LEDs provide at-a-glance network status and real-time connectivity information.
  • Page 8: Connections And Installation

    ConneCtions & installation Ports As mentioned in the Introduction, the type of media converter ports will vary from model to model. Refer to each model’s Specifications at the back of this manual to identify a port, and see below for explanations of their various uses and limits.
  • Page 9 full duplex mode across distances of up to 2 km over multi-mode fiber- optic cable. The fiber port has a choice of three fiber connector types: ST, SC or WDM. 100Base-TX Port The 100Base-TX port supports network speed of 100 Mbps, and can operate in half and full duplex transfer modes.
  • Page 10 Cables Connecting Fiber Cable When connecting fiber cable to a 1000Base-FX port on the converter, be sure an SC or WDM connector is used. (Other INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS Media Converter models may need cable that matches their ST ports.) Follow the steps below to properly connect fiber cable. 1.

    the cable for UTP; and 100x the diameter of the cable for fiber. a be • Avoid letting the cable twist too much to radi 24mm (min prevent excessive strain on internal cables. • Place cable ties at regular intervals, being of th careful not to overtighten them.
  • Page 12 performance. Consider these guidelines when deciding where to place the device. • Place the converter in a fairly cool and dry location. (See Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.) • Place the converter in a location free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust and direct exposure to sunlight.
  • Page 13 Switch — Converter — Converter — Switch In the configuration below, the converters function as a high-speed bridge between switches, creating increased capacity for each user (node) on the local area network and providing a 1000 Mbps full duplex link to a variety of Gigabit Ethernet network devices within a LAN. In the configuration below, redundant link converters function as a high- speed bridge between switches, creating increased capacity for each user (node) on the local area network and providing a 10/100/1000 Mbps...
  • Page 14 In the configuration below, redundant link converters function as a server aggregation for an enterprise or LAN configuration, providing a 10/100/1000 Mbps full duplex link to a workgroup of 10/100/1000 switches located on separate floors within a single building. Switch — Converter — Converter — Workstation In this configuration, the converters function as a high-speed dedicated link within a campus network configuration, providing a 1000 Mbps full duplex link to a remote network node.
