Caution
Circuit devices are sensitive to stat i c electricity, which can damage their
delicate electronics. Dry weather conditions o r walking across a carpeted floor may
cause you to acquire a static electri cal charge.
To protect your devi ce, always:
• Touch the metal chassis of your computer to ground the static electrical charge
before you pick up the circuit device.
• Pick up the device by holding it on the left and ri ght edges only.

1.Introduction
1-1. Overview
IEEE802.3z/AB 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet converter supports two
types of media for network connection such as 1000Base-T and
1000Base-SX/LX. The media converter is used to convert one type
media signal to other type equivalent that allows two type segments
connect easily and inexpensively. The converter can be used as a
standalone unit or as a slide-in module to the 19" converter rack (up
to 12 units) for use at a central wiring closet, or mounted on DIN-Rail
with a DIN-Rail kit for industrial application. The media converter has
commercial and industrial different operating temperature optional
specifications.
1-2. Checklist
Before you start installing the Converter, verify that the package
contains the following:

Warning:
The converter TP 1000FDX NWay port must be connected to a
NWay TP device. When Converter TP Port (NWay) connecting to
a non_NWay 1000FDX TP partner, it could not inter-operate
properly between local and remote TP partners.
Ensure all network nodes are configured at an identical operation
mode. Improper operation and flow control mode between TP and
Fiber port connections will render the LAN to work poorly.
