Do not disconnect the fiber optic connector while the unit is powered
up. Exposure to laser radiation is possible when the laser fiber optic
connector is disconnected while the unit is powered up.
Although the fiber optic connectors in this product emit only Class 1
energy that is below the levels considered to be hazardous, one should
never stare directly into a fiber optic connector or an unconnected fiber
end unless one can be certain that no exposure to laser energy could
occur.
CAUTION
This manual is intended for use by trained service personnel. The use
of controls, making adjustments, or performing operations other than
those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The following label or equivalent is located on the surface of laser products.
This label indicates that the product is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT.

SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE RECOMMENDED
This product contains sensitive electrical components that may be
damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric shock, lightning strikes,
etc. Use of surge protection systems is highly recommended in order
to protect and extend the life of your equipment.
BCI’s 6820E/6821E Series is designed to meet the needs for massive
optical fiber network deployment and able to extend a legacy copper
based network via fiber cable to a maximum distance of up to 100KM.
The 6820E/6821E is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 & 802.3u standards;
built-in switching ASIC has turned 6820E/6821E function more like a 2
port switch rather than a traditional converter. The user can get all of the
switching benefits such as traffic segmentation, frames checking and
error filtering. In addition, Fiber Link Alarm allows the user to monitor
and maintain their critical fiber link more easily and effectively .
The installation and operation procedures of the 6820E/6821E are simple
and straightforward. Operation status can be monitored through a set
of diagnostic LED located in the front panel (as shown in Figure 1-1).
The installation procedure is simple and straightforward.
• Attach fiber cable from the 6820E/6821E to the fiber network.
• Attach UTP cable from the 10/100Base-TX network to the RJ-45
port on the 6820E/6821E .
• Connect the power adapter to the 6820E/6821E and check that
the Power LED lights up. The TP Link and FX Link LED will light
when all the cable connections are satisfactory .

Link Alarm allow user easily to identify and diagnose the linking st atus.
If set Link Alarm switch to Enable, UTP and Fiber port can link up only
when both linking conditions are good. In addition, if any of the fiber or
UTP port link down during operation, the other port will also turn down
link to alert the user. Turn Link Alarm switch to Enable provide user
transparent link indication between two network devices interconnected
by 6820E/6821E.
If disable the Link Alarm. The UTP and fiber port will link up base on
their individual linking condition. Further, if fiber port link down during
operation, it will not turn down the UTP port link and vice versa.
Notice
The Link Alarm will be effective only when the TP Auto-negotiation is
enabled.
