6.  Installing the Converter 

Note:    The Media Converter is hot-swappable. 

⇒ 

Wear a grounding device for electrostatic discharge    

For as a standalone unit: 

                        4                                                        5                                                        6                   

 

⇒ 

Verify the AC-DC adapter conforms to your country  

AC power requirement and insert the power plug 

For as a slide-in unit: 

⇒ 

Verify the media converter is the right model and conforms 
to the chassis slot. The Media Converter and Rack are built 
to match in dimensions, DC jack, DC receptacle and power 
safety 

⇒ 

5VDC power jack on converter back, and 
carefully slide in and plug to 19" rack +5VDC power 
receptacle 
 

Attach the single fiber cable. Install 1310nm and 
1550nm models at the ends of single fiber cable. 

Fiber 
Port 

Default: AUTO. The "Fiber Mode" must be set to 

"FORCE"

 when you intend to connect 

a pair of 

GE-C351, or GE-C351 to GM-C351

 via fiber 

optic cable at both ends of a fiber connection. 

Attach TP Cat. 5 cable to TP port. 

TP 
Port 

The 1000 TP port supports AUTO MDI-X sensing 
(e.g. either MDI-X or MDI-II).

8.    DC Jack and AC-DC Power Adapter

 

The DC jack's central post is 2.5mm wide; it conforms to the 
DC receptacle (2.5mm) on the 19-inch Converter Rack slot. 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Keep the AC-DC adapter as spare parts when Media Converter 

is installed in a 19-inch Media Converter Rack. 

Warning: 

⎯ 

    The "Fiber Mode" must be set to 

"FORCE"

 when you 

intend to connect 

a pair of GM-C351, or GM-C351 to 

GE-C351

 via fiber optic cable at both ends of a fiber 

connection. It does not work if "Fiber Mode" is set to 
"AUTO" in this connection.

 

 

⎯ 

    For 

other/different model converter fiber connection

both local and remote fiber mode must be set to

 

an 

identical mode

 ("AUTO or FORCE") 

according to their 

operation/configuration.

 

Refer to the corresponding 

device/converter's Technical Manual for proper setting.
