Installation

DTE and DCE

Each J/RS232-xx-01 model is configured as a:

• DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) with a male RS-232 port, or a

• DCE (Data Communication Equipment) with a female RS-232 port.

So, the type of media converter and the application in which it is used determines which type of RS-232 cable is needed:

• Straight-through configuration cable, or

• Null-modem configuration cable.

NOTE: The J/RS232-xx-01 only uses pins 2, 3 and 5.

Install the RS-232 Cable

Sections 1-4 (below and on page 3) illustrate which type of RS-232 cable should be used for the various applications:

1. J/RS232-CF-01 Media Converter / DCE Device

Use a null-modem RS-232 cable with a male connector when connecting a J/RS232-CF-01 or J/RS232-CF-01(SC) media converter to a DCE device.

2. Connect the fiber cables to the first J/RS232-xx-01 media converter as described:

• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.

• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.

3. Connect the fiber cables to the other J/RS232-xx-01 media converter as described:

• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.

• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.

Connect the fiber cable to the first media converter as shown.

Connect the fiber cable

to the second media

converter, as shown

Power the Media Converter

NOTE: The external power supply provided with this product is UL listed by

the power supply’s manufacturer.

• Connect the barrel connector on the power adapter to the media converter’s power port (located on the back of the media converter).

• Connect the power adapter plug to AC power. Verify that the media converter is powered by observing the illuminated LED power indicator light. (For DC power see the SPS1872-xx DC external power supply.)

Troubleshooting

If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the failure by determining the answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:

1. Is the PWR (power) LED on the media converter illuminated? NO

• Is the power adapter the proper type of voltage and cycle frequency

for the AC outlet? (See “Technical Specifications” on page 6.)

• Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter and in

the AC outlet?

• Does the grounded AC outlet provide power?

• Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

• Proceed to step 2.

2. Is the RX (RS-232) LED illuminated? NO

• Check the RS-232 cable for proper connection.

• Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

• Proceed to step 3.

3. Is the FL (fiber) LED illuminated? NO

• Check the fiber cables for proper connection.

• Verify that the TX and RX cables on the media converter are

connected to the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the remote media converter.

• Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.
