Installation
Before you begin the installation, check the AC voltage of your
area. The AC power adapter which is used to provide the DC
power for the unit, and should have the AC voltage matching
the commercial power voltage in your area.
Applying Power
1. Connect the DC plug to the DC input jack located on the back
of the media converter before connecting to the AC power outlet.
2. To ensure against accidental disconnection, tie the DC power
cable with the cable tie located the back of the media converter.
3. Connect the AC power adapter to the AC power outlet.
4. Check the Power LED indication on the media converter.

Making FX Port Connection
FX port operates at 1000Mbps and full duplex (factory default).
A variety of fiber options is listed in next section. Since the
WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) single fiber media
converters use different wavelengths for transmission and
receiving respectively, the link partner device located on the
remote end of the single fiber should match the wavelength
used on the single fiber converter. Using 50/125 or 62.5/125
micron multi-mode fiber cable to connect to the fiber port of
multi-mode media converter. Using 9/125 micron single-mode
fiber cable to connect to the single-mode media converter.
Note: All optical fiber media converters must be used in pair.
Single fiber optic media converter, the TX model must be
paired with the RX model and vice versa.
