1.3 Channel Switches
Full-duplex/half-duplex mode selection
switches (DIP switches #1-6) allow the
network administrator to set EACH media
converter channel, separately, either to fullduplex or to half-duplex.
The Link Test switch (DIP switch #7)
enables or disables the Missing Link Test
feature for a block of six (6) Multichannel
Media Converter channels.
1.4 Reset Button
Located only on 100BASE-TX MFETF10xx series Multichannel Media
Converter models, the Rest button, if present, allows the network
administrator to reset ALL Multichannel Media Converter channel ports.
1.5 AC Power Supply Module/Optional Redundant
AC Power Supply Module
An AC Power Supply Module, installed at the back of the Multichannel
Media Converter before shipment, supplies power to the Multichannel
Media Converter through an external power cord connected to an external
AC outlet.
NOTE: The Multichannel Media Converter does not have an ON/OFF
power switch. Power is applied to, and removed from, the Multichannel
Media Converter by connecting and disconnecting the power cord.
The Multichannel Media Converter rear panel also contains an expansion
slot for an optional redundant Power Supply Module. When installed, the
optional redundant Power Supply Module shares the power load with the
main AC Power Supply Module. If one power supply fails, the remaining
power supply assumes the role of providing all power to the Multichannel
Media Converter, thereby protecting the Multichannel Media Converter
from a system failure.
NOTE: Both the redundant Power Supply Module and the main AC Power
Supply Module can be "hot swapped".
The MAIN power LED on the front panel of the
Multichannel Media ConverterLED is a steady amber
when thef the AC Power Supply Module is operating
properly. When the optional redundant Power Supply
Module is installed and operating properly, the BCKP
power LED is a steady green.

2.1 Preparing the Site
Consider the following when choosing a site for the Multichannel Media
Converter:
• Select a site that provides conditions that conform to the
environmental requirements listed in the appendix.
• Select a site that is dust-free and moisture-free.
• Do not block the ventilation openings on the Multichannel Media
Converter. The site should allow for proper heat dissipation from,
and adequate ventilation around, the Multichannel Media
Converter.
• Be sure that the site will allow easy access to twisted-pair cables,
fiber-optic cables, and power cord(s).
• Use dedicated power circuits or power stabilizers to supply
reliable power to the Multichannel Media Converter.
• Keep twisted-pair cabling away from sources of electrical noise,
such as radios, electric motors, transmitters, broadband
amplifiers, power lines, and flourescent fixtures.
Also:
• ALL NODES connected to the ports on the media converter must
operate at the same speed: 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s, according to
Multichannel Media Converter model selected.
• The nodes connected to EACH CHANNEL on the Multichannel
Media Converter must operate in the same duplex mode, either
half-duplex or full-duplex. Do NOT, for instance, connect a node
operating at half-duplex to a twisted-pair port and then connect
another node operating at full-duplex to the fiber-optic port of the
same channel.

2.3 Installing Optional Redundant Power Supply
Module
The standard Multichannel Media Converter is shipped with one MAIN
Power Supply Module installed at the back of the Multichannel Media
Converter cabinet and with a protective plate covering an installation slot
intended for a second, optional BACKUP Power Supply Module.
NOTE: Prior to installation of the optional redundant Power Supply
Module, a jumper setting on the Management Module already installed in
the Multichannel Media Converter must be changed from the NORMAL
position to the B(a)CK(u)P position.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT POWER SUPPLY MODULE TO
EXTERNAL POWER BEFORE INSTALLING IN MULTICHANNEL MEDIA
CONVERTER. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WARNING COULD RESULT
IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when setting Management Module jumper and when
installing Power Supply Module in Multichannel Media Converter.
Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent
failure of, Management Module and/or Power Supply Module.
NOTE: Power Supply Modules can be “hot swapped”.
2.3.1 Setting Management Module Jumper
CAUTION: Failure to set the Management Module NJP1 jumper
correctly may result in false alarms (if the jumper is set to BCKP while
only one Power Supply Module is installed) or in failure to monitor the
redundant power supply (if a second Power Supply Module is installed
and the jumper is left in the NORMAL position).
To set the Management Module jumper:
1. Place the Multichannel Media Converter on a clean, stable
surface.
2. Locate the Management Module installed at the back left of the
Multichannel Media Converter.
3. Carefully remove the Management Module from the Multichannel
Media Converter by unscrewing two (2) thumbscrews that secure
the Management Module to the Multichannel Media Converter
and then gently sliding the Management Module from the
Multichannel Media Converter.
4. Place the Management Module on flat, stable surface and locate
the jumper identified as NJP1.
5. Using a small needle-nosed pliers or similar device, change the
2-position jumper labelled NJP1 from the NORMAL position to
the BACKUP position (indicated on Management Module circuit
board).
