Getting Connected

Powering On Unit

The Converter uses an AC power supply 100~240V

AC, 50~60 Hz. The Converter's power supply

automatically self-adjusts to the local power source

and may be powered on without having any or all LAN

segment cables connected.

1.

Insert the power cable plug directly into the

receptacle located at the back of the device.

2. Plug the power adapter into an available socket.

Note:

For International use, you may need to change the AC

power adapter cord. You must use a power cord set that

has been approved for the receptacle type and electrical

current in your country.

Warning

Please exercise caution when using power tools. Also,
install this unit away from damp or wet locations, or in
close proximity to very hot surfaces. These types of
environments can have a detrimental effect on the
converter and cables. An ideal location is a lightly
cooled place such as a typical equipment room.
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from
the aperture of the port when no cable is connected,
avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into
open apertures.

Connecting Fiber Cable

When connecting fiber cable to a 100BASE-FX port

on the Converter, be sure the correct type - ST or SC

or WDM - connector is used. Follow the steps below

to properly connect fiber cable:

1.

Remove and keep the ST/SC/WDM port's rubber

cover. When not connected to a fiber cable, the

rubber cover should be replaced to protect the

optics.

2.

Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You

can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently

with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a

little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic

cables will impair the quality of the light

transmitted through the cable and lead to

degraded

performance on the port.

3. Connect one end of the cable to the ST/SC/WDM
