COMPLIANCE INFORMATION

UL Listed
C-UL Listed (Canada)
CISPR/EN55022 Class A

FCC Regulations

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at the user’s own expense.

Canadian Regulations

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise for digital apparatus set out on
the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables
aux appareils numériques de la class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique
édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

European Regulations

Warning

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Achtung !

Dieses ist ein Gerät der Funkstörgrenzwertklasse A. In Wohnbereichen können bei Betrieb dieses Gerätes
Rundfunkstörungen auftreten, in weichen Fällen der Benutzer für entsprechende Gegenmaßnahmen
werantwortlich ist.

Attention !

Ceci est un produit de Classe A. Dans un environment domestique, ce produit risque de créer des
interférences radioélectriques, il appartiendra alors à l’utilsateur de prende les measures spécifiques

E-TBT-FRL-04 IN THE NETWORK

Use the E-TBT-FRL-04 media converter (or two E-TBT-FRL-04 media converters
in pairs) to connect a workstation to a remote hub or to connect two hubs,
switches, or workstations.

NOTE: Maximum Number of Nodes: 2 nodes
The AutoCross™ feature allows either straight-through or crossover cables to be

used when connecting to 10BASE-T devices, such as hubs, transceivers, or
network interface cards (NICs). AutoCross™ determines the characteristics of
the cable connection and automatically configures the unit to link up to straight­through or to crossover cable.

The LinkALERT™ feature allows the E-TBT-FRL-04 media converter to pass
10BASE-T side link faults to the 10BASE-FL side and to pass 10BASE-FL side link
faults to the 10BASE-T side. NOTE: An enable/disable switch allows the network
administrator to disable LinkALERT™ in the case of a network with back-to­back media converter installation in which Autonegotiation from other sources
does not work properly.
