Hardened Media Converter
Quick Start Guide
This quick start guide describes how to install and use the hardened media converter.
This is the media converter of choice for harsh environments constrained by space.
Physical Description
The Terminal Block and Power inputs
y DC Terminal Block Power Inputs: There are two pairs of power inputs can be
used to power up this media converter. Redundant power supplies function is
supported. You need to have two power inputs connected to run the media
converter, but the FAULT LED indicator will light up to remind that the power
redundant system functions abnormal in case either PWR1 or PWR2 is dead.
Media Converter, however, continues working normally even fault LED indicator
lights up.
y DC JACK Power input: 12VDC.

One-Channel Media Converter
Ports
The Converter provides one copper port and one fiber port. The fiber port provides
options of Multi-mode, Single-mode, or WDM Single-mode fiber using an SC
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 front panel of the hardened media converter.
Default DIP switch 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:
y The ambient temperature should be between -40 to 75 degrees Celsius.
y The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
y Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC)
standards.
y Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the
ventilation holes of the equipment.
y 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.

Connecting to Power
Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs or 12VDC DC Jack:
12VDC DC Jack
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle on the topside
of the media converter.
Step 2: Connect the power cord to the AC to DC power adapter and attach the plug into
a standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs
There are two pairs of power inputs can be used to power up this device. You need to
have two power inputs connected to run the media converter, but the FAULT LED
indicator will light up to remind that the power redundant system functions abnormal
in case either PWR1 or PWR2 is dead. Media Converter, however, continues working
normally even fault LED indicator lights up.
Step 1: Connect the DC power cord to the plug-able terminal block on the media
converter, and then plug it into a standard DC outlet.
Step 2: Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the media converter.

Hardened Media Converter
Field Wiring Terminal: Use Copper Conductors Only, 60/75℃, 12-24 AWG torque
value 7 lb-in.
Alarms for Power and Port Failure
Step 1: There are two pins on the terminal block that are used for power failure
detection. It provides a normal closed output when the power source is active. Use this
as a dry contact application to send a signal for power failure detection.
Special note:
The relay output is normal in an open position when there is no power to the media
converter. Please do not connect any power source to this terminal to prevent a
shortage to your power supply.
