FCC Statement

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) restricts the amount of radio frequency emission and radiation coming from computer equipment. The equipment introduced in this manual has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user is required to correct the interference at his/her own expense. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacture would void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter

Introduction

The Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter provides one channel for media conversion between 1) 1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX/LX with link-fault-pass-through function or 2) 1000Base-SX/LX and 1000Base-LX. It can be used as a stand-alone device or with a standard 19” chassis as shown below.

y There are two pins on the DIP switch of the 1000Base-T and 1000Base-

SX/LX one-channel media converter:

♦ Toggle up the pin on the left-hand side to let the fiber port auto

detect duplex mode.

♦ Toggle down the pin on the left-hand side to force the fiber port to

full duplex mode.

♦ Toggle up the pin on the right-hand side to disable the link-fault-

pass-through function.

♦ Toggle down the pin on the right-hand side to enable the link-fault-

pass-through function.

Physical Ports

1000T ↔ 1000SX/LX Media Converter

This converter provides one TX port and one FX port. For the FX port, it provides options of multi-mode, single-mode, or WDM single-mode fiber. For the TX port, it uses RJ-45 connector and supports auto MDIX for uplink purpose.

1000SX/LX ↔ 1000LX Media Converter

This converter provides two FX ports:

1) One multi-mode/single-mode fiber port and one single-mode fiber port.

2) One multi-mode/WDM single-mode fiber port and one WDM single-mode fiber port.

Port Status LEDs

The LED indicators give you instant feedback on status of the converter:

<Note> Fiber transceivers can be 1000Base-SX/LX or WDM 1000Base-BX.

When two fiber transceivers have different signal transmission distances. Fiber transceiver with shorter signal transmission distance would be on left-hand side of media converter front panel (B). Fiber transceiver with longer signal transmission distance would be on right-hand side of media converter front panel (A).

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 32 and 113 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 45 degrees Celsius).

- The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing.

- Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.

- 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.

Connecting to Power

This Converter is a plug-and-play device.

Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle at

Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet.

Installing in a Chassis

The Converter is designed to fit into any of the expansion slots on a rackmount chassis.

Step 1: Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis. Step 2: Fit the converter onto the carrier. Step 3: When the converter is completely seated onto the carrier, insert

Step 4: Carefully slide in the carrier until it is fully and firmly fit the chassis. Step 5: Fasten the carrier to the chassis by the screws.

<NOTE> Never insert any converter into the chassis directly without using the

the back of the converter.
