Introduction

MultiPower Industrial Media Converters per-

form 10/100 switching copper-to-fiber con­version, and feature plug-and-play operation
and a miniature size. They also comply with
the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet stan­dard. In addition, these converters include an
extended voltage range; an extended operat­ing temperature; and DIN clips for mounting
the enclosure on a DIN-rail.

Installing the Media Converter

The MultiPower Industrial Media Converter installs virtually anywhere: as a

standalone, table-top device or on a DIN-rail. As a standalone device, install
these miniature media converters in locations with extremely limited space. You
can also use the included velcro strips to attach the device to most surfaces.

Operating The Media Converter

The MultiPower Industrial Media Converter is a 10/100 auto-negotiating,
miniature media converter. The fiber port always operates at 100 Mbps
FDX; the copper port auto-senses the connected device’s speed and duplex
mode: 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and HDX or FDX (including Flow Control).

The MultiPower Industrial Media Converter offers plug-and-play operation,
including the AutoCross feature which automatically selects between a
crossover work-station or pass-through connection depending on the connect­ed device. The MultiPower Industrial Media Converter also protects against
Broadcast storms, and allows jumbo packets of up to 1916 bytes.

LED Operation

Each MultiPower Industrial Media Converter includes two LEDs, located
on the RJ-45 connector. LED functions are as follows:

FX LNK/ACT: Glows green when a link is established on the fiber

port; blinks green when activity is detected on the fiber port.

TX LNK/ACT: Glows amber when a link is established on the copper

port; blinks amber when activity is detected on the copper port.

DC Terminal Block Wiring Instructions

You can also power the MultiPower Industrial Media Converter with the DC
terminal block. From a power source, connect to any one positive and any
one negative terminal on the converter The following charts illustrate an exam­ple of the wiring configurations for the 48 VDC DC terminal block of the
MultiPower Industrial Media Converter (±5 to ±50VDC). See the following
page for a diagram showing how to cascade DC power.

NOTE: If you are using stranded wire, you must “tin” the leads; use solid
wire as is.

NOTE: The chassis is protected against mis-wiring; if mis-wired the chassis
will merely not function.

F IBER O PTIC C LEANING G UIDELINES

Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by
particles of dirt or dust which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance
degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.

1) Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only
from a reputable supplier; low quality components can cause many hard-to-diag­nose problems in an installation.

2) The manufacturer installs dust caps to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These
protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable
to the device. Assure that the fiber is properly terminated, polished and free of any dust
or dirt and that the location is as free from dust and dirt as possible.

3) Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box
so that when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.

4) Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective
dust caps.

5) If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between
blasting with clean, dry compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove par­ticles of dirt.

E LECTROSTATIC D ISCHARGE P RECAUTIONS

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to your add-in modules. Always
observe the following precautions when installing or handling an add-in module or
any board assembly.

1) Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until you're ready to install it.

2) Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component.
If you do not have a wrist strap, maintain grounded contact with the system unit
throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.

WARNING! Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are extremely sus­ceptible to electrostatic discharge damage. Do not handle these components direct­ly unless you are a qualified service technician and use tools and techniques that
conform to accepted industry practices.
