CHAPTER 4: Installation
4. Installation
Before you install the converter, refer to
Section 2.2
and make sure your package
includes everything listed. Then, start with
Section 4.1
and read all of
Chapter 4
.
4.1 Location
The site where you install the converter may greatly affect its performance. When
installing, consider the following:
• Install the converter in a fairly cool and dry place. See
Chapter 1
for the
acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
• Install the converter in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators
(such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
• Leave at least 3.9" (9.9 cm) of space at the converter’s front and rear for
ventilation.
4.2 Auto-MDI/MDI-X Connection
The RJ-45 port is auto-MDI. The converter can auto transform to MDI-II or MDI-X,
so you can make an easy connection without worrying if you are using a standard
or crossover RJ-45 cable.
4.3 DIP-Switch Settings
Use the DIP switch to activate the operations described in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1. DIP-switch settings.
