FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if
not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with
the instructions provided with the equipment, may cause
interference to radio and TV reception. The equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart
B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference in a commercial
environment. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation.

If you suspect this equipment is causing interference, turn your
converter on and off while your radio or TV is showing
interference to determine the source of the interference.

You can try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

1. Reorient the receiving radio or TV antenna where this may be
done safely.

2. To the extent possible, relocate the radio, TV or the other
receiver away from the equipment.

3. Plug the computer which has the equipment installed into a
different power outlet so that equipment and the receiver are on
different branch circuits.

If necessary, you should consult the place of purchase or an
experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestion.

CAUTION : The phone jack cannot be connected to telephone
system.

1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of this product. This is a Gigabit
Ethernet standard compliant media converter. This media converter
allows users to convert the Gigabit Ethernet transmission media from
UTP to fiber or fiber to UTP.

This media converter comes with a 1000BaseT twisted pair port and
a 1000BaseSX fiber optic port. The UTP port is able to sense
whether your cable is the normal or cross over type and switch to the
proper mode automatically. The fiber optic port has a SC connector
and a maximum operating distance of 550m.

The Gigabit Ethernet media converter is easy to install and do not
require any software configuration or management.

5. Installation

(1) Operating Environment

This converter must be installed and operated within the limits
of specified operating temperature and humidity (see previous
section under Specifications). Do not place objects on top of the
unit. Do not position the converter near any heating source such as
heater, radiator, or direct exposure to sun. Prevent entering of water
and moisture into the unit. If necessary, use dehumidifier to reduce
humidity.

(2) Guidelines for installation

Please observe following guidelines when you are installing the
media converter.

# The nodes connected to the media converter must operate at

1000Mbps.

# The two nodes connected to the ports of the media converter

must operate in the same mode.

# The devices connected to the media converter can be

network adapter, hubs, switches or routers.

# The network configuration with media converter could be

any one of the following architectures.

(3) Connecting the cable

Make sure the UTP and fiber cables are properly connected to
the converter. Using the four pairs of category 5 UTP cable for
connecting to the UTP port. Using 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multi­mode fiber for connecting to 1000BaseSX fiber port.

(4) Connecting the power

Connect the output end of the power adapter to the power
connector on the rear panel of the converter. Connect the power
adapter to the power outlet. The green Power LED on the front panel
of the hub should be lit.

6. Trouble-shooting

1. UTP or Fiber Link LED is not lit

! Check the power switch on the network device connected to the

converter, make sure it is turned ON.

! Verify that the two nodes are operating at 1000Mbps.
! Check the network cable; make sure the UTP cable is a four pairs

of Category 5 cable and the fiber optic cable complies with
industrial standard.

2. Fail to transmit data

! Make sure the UTP distance does not exceed 100m.
! Make sure the fiber distance should not exceed the available

maximum distance of the converter, for example 550m.
