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.

suitability for Class I, Division 2.

Assembly, Startup, and Dismantling

y Assembly: 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.

y Startup: Connect the supply voltage to start up the media converter via the

terminal block (or DC JACK).

y Dismantling: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the media converter from

the DIN rail.
