Chapter 2: Quick Set-up
Attach the converter to a power source. The front panel lights should illuminate. Green is normal; orange
indicates an error.
Attach an Ethernet UTP5 cable from your LAN equipment to the RJ-45 LAN Port 2. The converter can
perform automatic cross-over vs straight-through cable adaptation. The LAN 2 light will change from
orange to green if a properly negotiated link has been established.
The network equipment attached to
the LAN port of the converter should be set for autonegotiation mode in order to allow the converter
to negotiate a 100Mbit full-duplex connection.
Disabling autonegotiation or using old LAN equipment
may result in the attached LAN equipment configuring to half-duplex mode, resulting in CRC errors and
packet loss. Refer to the interoperability section of this document for more information
Attach two 75-ohm coaxial cables from either Port 1 or 2 BNC connectors of the converter to the input and
output connectors of your E3 or DS3 link. Once each converter is receiving a valid signal from the remote
partner, the DS3/E3 Port LED will change from orange to green. This indicates that the converter has
achieved proper sync lock with the remote converter. A green indicator will only be seen if a remote
E3Switch converter is connected.
Refer to the management chapter of this manual if HTTP or SNMP operating statistics are desired or to
change the default administrator password.
Changing the default password is highly recommended to
allow onging configuration changes. When the password has not been changed from default,
configuration changes are prohibited for security reasons after 5 minutes after any new power cycle.
Simply power cycle again to change the password – if the unit is still in your possession and the link is
not passing important data.
There is no further configuration or setup required for the converter.
