3. Hardware Installation

Installing Two Stand Alone Fiber Converters

1. Connect the fiber cable to
the Fiber Converters.

2. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet
cable from the Ethernet port
on the fiber converters to an
Ethernet port on your switch
(e.g TE100-S24R or
TEG-S240TX).

3. Connect the power adapter
to the back of the fiber
converter.

Note:
– Cabling:

Multi-Mode Optic Cable: TFC-210MST, TFC-210MSC, TFC-2000MSC
Single-Mode Optic Cable: TFC-210S30, TFC-210S50, TFC-2000S30,
TFC-2000S50
Single Strand Optic Cable for TFC-210S20D3/D5, TFC-210S10D3/D5

– The TX and RX cables must be reversed on the opposing Fiber

connection.

– The TFC-210S20D3 must be paired with the TFC-210S20D5. The

TFC-2000S10D3 must be paired with the TFC-2000S10D5.

– The TX and FX ports on the TFC-2000 series do not support auto

negotiation. The opposing Copper and Fiber connection must be
Gigabit.

Installing Fiber Converter in a Chassis

1. Using a screwdriver
unscrew the Module Bay
Cover from the desired bay
on the Chassis and remove
the cover. Save the screw
and cover in case you need
to cover up the module bay
in the future.

2. Attach the Mounting Bracket
to the side of Fiber
Converter.

3. Slide the Fiber Converter
into an available slot. Install
the Fiber Converter with the
fiber port near the bottom of
the Chassis. Then fasten
the screws to secure the
Fiber Converter.

LLCF Function

LLCF allows the network administrator to quickly
troubleshoot the network connection based on the LEDs on
the Fiber Converters. When the TX port link is down, the

converter will force the fiber port link to shutdown. When the fiber
port link is down, the converter will force the TX port link to
shutdown.

Below are examples on how to read the LLCF Function Table:
Example 1: If LLCF is enabled on Fiber Converter 1 and disable
on Media Converter 2, when Cable 1 link is down, Fiber Converter
1's Copper and Fiber LED and Fiber Converter 2's Fiber LED will
shut off. Fiber Converter 2's Copper LED remains on.
Example 2: If LLCF is disabled on both Fiber Converters, when
Cable 4 link is down, Fiber Converter 1's Copper and Fiber LED
and Fiber Converter 2's Fiber LED remains on. Fiber Converter
2's Copper LED will shut off.

Troubleshooting

After connecting the Fiber Converter, the LEDs do not turn on. What

Q1:

should I do?

First, check that the power outlet is receiving power. Second, make

A1:

sure the power adapter is firmly connected to the Fiber Converter and
the power outlet. Third, make sure the Ethernet and the Fiber cables
are connected.

All the LEDs are on, but I can't make a connection. What should I do?

Q2:

First, verify that you are using the proper fiber cable (e.g. multi-

A2:

mode fiber cable for multi-mode converters; single-mode fiber cables for
single-mode converters). Second, verify that the TX and RX cables
have been reversed on the opposite Fiber connection. Third, power
down the Fiber Converters and the switches. Wait 15 seconds, then
plug the switches and the Fiber Converters back in.

What is the maximum distance that is supported by the Fiber Converter?

Q3:

Please refer to Product Detail for distance information.

A3:

After connecting the Chassis to a power outlet, the LEDs do not turn on.

Q4:

First, check that the power outlet is receiving power. Second, make

A4:

sure the power cord is firmly connected to the chassis and the power
outlet. Third, make sure the power switch is flipped to the ON position.

If you still encounter problems or have any questions please contact TRENDnet's
