Omnitron Systems Technology iConverter STM 1 Standalone - Manual (Page 2)

Note: It is not permitted to set both media converters to any RFD mode. A lockup condition
will occur.

2) INSTALL STANDALONE MODULE AND CONNECT CABLES
a. The STM-1 converter is available in tabletop and wall-mount models. For wall-mounting,
attach the STM-1 converter to a wall, backboard or other flat surface. For tabletop
installations, place the unit on a flat level surface. Attach the rubber feet to the bottom
of the STM-1 converter to prevent the unit from sliding. Make sure the unit is placed in
a safe, dry and secure location.
To power the unit using the AC/DC adapter, connect the AC/DC adapter to an AC outlet.
Then connect the barrel plug at the end of the wire on the AC/DC adapter to the 2.5mm
DC barrel connector (center-positive) on the unit. Confirm that the unit has powered up
properly by checking the power status LED located on the front of the unit.
To power the unit using a DC power source, prepare a power cable using a two conductor
insulated wire (not supplied) with a 14 AWG gauge minimum. Cut the power cable to the
length required. Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable
wires. Connect the power cables to the unit by fastening the stripped ends to the DC
power connector.
Connect the power wires to the DC power source. The Power LED should indicate the
presence of power.
WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the positive and negative connections.
Use the same color assignment for the connection at the DC power source.
NOTE: If mounting with a safety ground attachment, use the safety ground screw at the
rear of the unit.
b. Insert the 155Mbps OC-3 SFP into Port 1 SFP receptacle on the STM-1 converter.
NOTE: The release latch of the fiber transceiver must be in the closed position before
insertion.
c. The STM-1e interface on the converter utilizes mini BNC connectors. When connecting
to full size BNC connectors use the supplied adapter cables.

d. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the fiber transceiver
port on the STM-1 converter. It is important to ensure that the transmit (Tx) is attached
to the receive side of the device at the other end and the receive (Rx) is attached to the
transmit side.
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove the STM-1e device from the module. This will cause
damage to the module and the STM-1e device.
3) VERIFY OPERATION
Once the module has been installed and configured per steps 1 and 2, verify the module is
operational by viewing the LED indicators.
