One-Channel Media Converter
Physical Ports
Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter
This converter provides one 10/100/1000Base-TX port and one 1000Base-SX /LX /BX fiber port. For the
1000Base-SX/LX/BX fiber port, it provides options of multi-mode/single-mode or WDM
multi-mode/single-mode fiber. For the 10/100/1000Base-TX port, it uses RJ-45 co nn ector a nd su pp or ts
auto MDIX for uplink purpose.
Port Status LEDs
The LED indicators give you instant feedback on status of the converter:

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:
z The ambient temperature should be between 23 and 131 degrees Fahrenheit (-5 to 55 degrees
Celsius).
z The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
z Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for
IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
z Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes
of the equipment.
z The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
