DC Terminal Block Power Inputs: There are two pairs of power inputs
can be used to power up this device. When the power redundancy
alarm is enabled, it will need to have two power inputs connected to
run the media converter. The FAULT LED indicator will light up to
remind that the power redundant system functions abnormal in case
either Power 1 or Power 2 is dead. Media Converter, however,
continues working normally even fault LED indicator lights up.

Preface
This hardened media converter provides an affordable solution for rugged
environments, transportation road-side cabinets, industrial shop floors,
multi tenant dwellings or Fiber To The Home (FTTH) applications. Capable
of operating at temperature extremes of -40°C to +75°C, this is by far the
media converter of choice for harsh environments in which space
constraints exist.
This media converter supports IEEE802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and can detect an IEEE802.3at
compliant Powered Device (PD). Using external 52~57VDC power inputs
through Terminal Block, data and power can be transmitted to a Powered
Device (PD) over the same twisted-pair Ethernet cable through the media
converter.
Plug-and-Play Solution:
The hardened media converter is a plug-and-play compact media converter
which doesn't have any complicated software to set up.
This manual describes the installation and use of the hardened media
converter with the link-fault-pass-through function. The converter also
provides one channel media conversion between 10/100/1000Base-TX
(PoE) and 1000Base/100Base SFP socket port.
The converter is in full compliance with IEEE802.3 10Base-T, IEEE802.3u
100Base-TX, IEEE802.3ab 1000Base-T and IEEE802.3z 1000Base-SX/LX
standards.

Specifications
The media converter provides one channel for media conversion between
10/100/1000Base-TX (PoE) and 1000Base/100Base SFP socket port with
the link-fault-pass-through function. This hardened fiber optic solution is
perfectly suitable for industrial applications or rugged environmental
conditions.

One-Channel Media Converter
Ports
The Converter provides one 10/100/1000Base-TX (PoE) copper port and one
1000Base/100Base SFP socket port. The 1000Base/100Base SFP socket
port is available for options of Multi-mode, Single-mode, or WDM
Single-mode SFP fiber transceiver using LC connector.
The copper port uses RJ-45 connector, auto-MDIX, and auto negotiates.
Port Settings
Port settings are made very simple by means of a DIP (Dual Inline Package)
switch on the bottom panel of the hardened media converter.
Default DIP switch settings:
DIP Switch
There are three pins on the DIP switch for settings. Refer to the table below
for more details.
No. ON (1) OFF (0)
1 Enable LFPT Disable LFPT
2 Enable power redundancy alarm Disable power redundancy alarm
3 Enable 1000Base SFP Enable 100Base SFP
<Note>
Must re-plug the fiber port after re-setting DIP switches to launch the new settings.

Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Converter.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not
be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic
interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following
requirements:
The ambient temperature should be between -40 to 75 degrees
Celsius.
The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic
field (RFC) standards.
Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not
block the ventilation holes of the equipment.
The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
DIN Rail Mounting
Fix the DIN rail attachment plate to the back panel of the media converter.
Installation: Place the media converter on the DIN rail from above using the
slot. Push the front of the media converter toward the mounting surface until it
audibly snaps into place.
Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the media converter from
the DIN rail.
