FCC Warning
WPC/MPC-2012 Series Media Converters have been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
standards are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when these devices are operated in a commercial environment. These devices generate,
use, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to
radio communications unless installed in accordance with this User’s Guide. Operation f
these devices in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference which will make
the user responsible for the appropriate remedial action at his / her own expense.
CE Mark Warning
These are Class A products. In a domestic environment these products may cause radio
interference in which case the user will need to consider adequate preventative
methods.

- Power Adapter (Optional)*
- User
’s Guide
* For detailed information, please see Section 9.
Please notify your sales representative immediately if any item is
missing or damaged.
2. Overview
WPC/MPC-2012 Media Converters support IEEE802.3at PoE
feature and are specifically designed to supply power to
PoE-enabled devices such as WiFi AP or surveillance cameras.
WPC/MPC-2012 Media Converters are power supply equipments
(PSE) that can transmit data and supply power at the same time
to the powered devices (PD). The maximum cable distance that
can reach the powered devices from WPC/MPC-2012 is up to
100M, allowing your powered devices to be installed in a place
where power is not easily accessible. Besides, WPC/MPC-2012
Series Media Converters aim at industrial applications that
demand wide range of operating temperature and require
redundant power supplies to create a reliable and stable
networking environment in the event of power failure. They can
also be mounted on the wall or onto 35mm DIN rail using DIN rail
clip on the media converter. The installation and operation
procedures are simple and straightforward. Operation status can
be locally monitored through a set of diagnostic LED indicators
located on the front panel.
Major Features:
- Auto-Negotiation in TP port
- Store and Forward Switching Mechanism
- Support MDI/MDIX Auto-Crossover
- Support Flow Control
- Support Link Alarm
- Support fault alarms for power and port failure
- Support 1K MAC address
- Support 9K bytes Jumbo Frame
- Support redundant AC and DC power supply
- Support wide range of operating temperature (-20

- Support DIN Rail and Wall Mounting
3. Network Installation
-
Attach fiber cable from the converter to the fiber network.
-
Attach a UTP cable from the 10/100Base-TX network to
the RJ-45 port on the converter.
-
Connect the power adapter to the converter and check that
the Power LED lights up. The TP Link/ACT and F/O
Link/ACT LED will light when all the cable connections are
satisfactory.

4. DIP SWITCH Setting
WPC-2012 Series Media Converters provide users with a DIP
Switch to configure switching functions. The DIP Switch is located at
the bottom panel of the media converter and the default setting of all
pins is set to OFF.

5. Terminal Block
TB1 and TB2 Power Supply:
There are two pairs of power
supply connection (TB1 and TB2) on the terminal block for
power redundancy purpose. You can use both pairs of power
supply (TB1 and TB2) or use either one pair of power supply on
the terminal block and AC external power supply to create
redundant setup. The redundant power supply will take over
seamlessly when one power source is down to protect your
device or network from the loss of power. When you use only
one power supply (no redundant power is available), the LED
Power/Port Status will flash in orange to alert the user.
Port Fault Alarm:
One pair of port fault connection on the
terminal block is used to connect alarm devices such as
speakers or LEDs to alert users when TP or F/O port link is
disconnected. To make this function work, you must first set pin
5 and 6 on the DIP Switch to ON position (Enable).

6. Link Alarm
Link Alarm allows users to easily identify and diagnose the linking
status. If Link Alarm DIP switch is set to Enable, TP and F/O can
link up only when both linking conditions are good. In addition, if
the TP or F/O port link is down during operation, the other port will
also be turned down to alert the user. Setting Link Alarm DIP
switch to Enable gives the user a transparent link indication
between two network devices interconnected by WPC-2012.
If Link Alarm is disabled, the TP and F/O will link up based on their
individual linking condition. Furthermore, if either port link (TP or
F/O) is down during operation, it will not turn down the other port
link.
Use flat-head
screwdriver to
loosen and tighten
the screw.
Insert positive or
negative wire as
indicated.
