LED Operation

The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II features two diagnostic LEDs:

FX LNK/ACT

This LED is on when a FX Link exists and blinks when data passes
through the fiber connection.

TX LNK/ACT

This LED is on when a TX Link exists and blinks when data passes
through the twisted-pair connection.

Powering Options

The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II powering options include AC and DC power as well as Power
over Ethernet, functioning as a PD compliant with 802.3af. The DC Terminal block
allows you to daisy-chain one IE-MiniFiberLinX-II to another. To use the DC terminal
block, connect to any one positive and any one negative terminal from a power
source. The illustration shows the wiring configurations for the DC terminal block (12
to 48 VDC).

Telco Version

NOTE

For Telco Only: It does not matter which terminal is referenced (connected to) earth-
ground. For example, when using a -48 VDC supply in which the positive rail is
connected to earth-ground, simply connect this side to a terminal block “+” terminal
and the -48 VDC side to the negative terminals.
